Chapter 4 Using Central Administration : Monitoring Servers

Monitoring Servers
The monitoring feature, available from the Server overview page, allows you to interact with and view statistics related to a live EMS server. Statistics and details available through this interface reflect the monitoring and tracing settings configured for the server, as described in Chapter 18, Monitoring Server Activity in the TIBCO Enterprise Message Service User’s Guide.
Query Results
On any monitoring page, you can refine the results by entering a name in the Query field. Use partial names or patterns to limit the records shown. The Query field supports * and > patterns.
Sort Results
You can change the sort order of the displayed records by clicking any of the column heading for any of the displayed fields.
Clicking a header performs a local sort on the data already retrieved by the browser. It does not refresh the query.
Temporary Server Tracing Options
You can configure temporary client tracing options for a server. These options remain active until changed, or until the server is restarted.
To configure client tracing options:
1.
2.
Select the Monitor option.
3.
Select the Server category.
4.
5.
These options remain active until changed, or until the server is restarted. For details about the available target and filter types, see client_trace parameter.
Monitor Destination Activity
Monitoring activities that report on destinations, including topics, queues and durables, can place a heavy burden on the EMS server. To minimize any negative impact on performance, a limit is placed on the number of entries that the server reviews.
If the EMS server has more than 200 destinations in the particular results screen, no data is immediately returned. Instead, you must use the query tools to refine the monitoring results:
Destination Name Filter  In the Query box, enter a destination name or partial name with pattern. This field supports the standard * and > patterns.
If query results are already visible on the page, entering text in the Query box immediately filters those results. A server-side query is performed only after the Query button is clicked.
Order  Choose an order preference from this drop-down box. For example, you can chose to order results by name, subscriber count, size, or several other criterion. If you choose to order based on a numeric field, destinations with the largest value are returned first. That is, Central Administration determines the results by collecting the records with the greatest value for the specified field.
Retrieve Count  This tool allows you to control the number of results that are returned. The options available are:
Click Query to retrieve the list of matching records.
Note that to rank the results, Central Administration has to read and process each element. As a result, these queries can put a heavy burden on the EMS server.
Detail Pages
Central Administration presents query results in a table. In may cases, objects in the table are linked to detailed summary pages which show monitoring statistics and runtime configuration for the inspected object. For example, on the Consumer monitoring page, each consumer entry offers a link to the related consumer ID, connection ID, and destination.
In some cases, you will need to enable the statistics parameter and configure detailed statistics before the EMS server will collect the desired information. For details, see Detailed Statistics in the TIBCO Enterprise Message Service User’s Guide.
Manage Objects
These detail pages typically provide a Manage menu , which provides the ability to manage the specified object. For example, depending on the object you may be able to refresh the data, compact, purge, or delete the object.
