Client Monitoring
The TIBCO FTL client library monitors each client, sampling several values that reveal operating behavior and performance. The client library sends these monitoring samples to the FTL server, which publishes them, and displays the most recent values for administrators.
Sampling
Throughout the realm, every client 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.
Default values for the monitoring interval and heartbeat interval are a good choice for many applications. If your enterprise needs different values, then for best results set the client monitoring sample interval and the client-server heartbeat interval to identical values.
Each client sends all its pending sample data to the FTL 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 larger than the sample interval, then the FTL server receives a batch of accumulated samples in each heartbeat.
