Client Monitoring

The TIBCO FTL client library monitors each client process, sampling several values that reveal operating behavior and performance. The client library sends these monitoring samples to the realm server, which publishes them, and displays the most recent values for administrators.

Scope

The TIBCO FTL library gathers monitoring data from the following processes:
  • Application program processes
  • TIBCO FTL component processes, such as bridge processes, persistence store servers, and TIBCO eFTL servers
  • The realm server process

Sampling

Throughout the realm, every client process samples data at a regular interval. The realm property Client Monitoring Sample Interval specifies that interval. Zero is a special value, instructing all clients to disable the monitoring feature.

Each client sends all its pending sample data to the realm server in the next client heartbeat message. The first batch of data becomes available with the first heartbeat after the first sample interval. If the heartbeat interval is large, then the realm server receives a batch of accumulated samples in each heartbeat).
