Nodes and Server Metrics

Charts on the dashboard display the metrics of all available nodes and servers such as member node, cache node, database server, messaging server, and ibi Patterns - Search server. Hovering over a node displays server information. If multiple nodes are available, the chart is divided into multiple parts. You can click each node to view metrics details. The details are displayed in tabular format.

The duration of node statistics (that is to display on the chart) is configured by using the Node Statistics Store Duration configuration property. By default, the duration is set to 30 minutes. Specify the value in milliseconds.

You must enable the Node Registration configuration property in a cluster environment (multiple ibi MDM nodes are running). If you set the value to true, availability information about each node is updated in the database.

Server Category Description
Application Server

Metrics are divided into the following sections:

  • Node Information: Displays information about the node, status, server type, host name, IP address, Up Time, CPU usage, and memory details.
    The health information is configured by using the Low Heap Memory Alert Threshold configuration property. For example, if you have set the value to 20 and the free heap memory is lower than 20 percentage, then the Critical message for the Health property is displayed.

  • System Information: Displays information about the operating system, Java runtime environment, time zone, encoding, and default locale.

  • Configuration Detail: Displays information about product version and configured environment variable details.
Cache Client and Server

Metrics about the cache node, its status, cache provider, host name, IP address, up time, CPU usage, and memory details.

If you start multiple cache servers, each running cache server is displayed on the chart.
Note: On a periodical basis, application servers and cache nodes' health are also displayed on the server console, log, or on both. The default value is CONSOLE.
Database Server

Metrics about database type, name, its status, version, URL, driver, version, user name, total acquired connections, active connections, the total number of records, and the total number of golden copy records.

Shows data source pool information if available on the application server JMX MBean.

Warning: On the WildFly application server, you might need to set the true value for the statistics-enabled property in the standalone.xml file (under <datasources> element) to collect metrics of attributes.
JMS Server

Metrics of messaging server details, queues, and topics details.

  • You can configure a list of queues and topics for which you want to display statistics on the dashboard.
  • To do this, use the following property: List of Queues and Topics for which Statistics will be Displayed on Dashboard.
  • To collect JMS metrics, specify true for the Enable stats collection by MBean property in the Configurator.
ibi Patterns - Search Server Details of the ibi Patterns - Search server type (primary or secondary), its status, URL, and the value for the configured server types.
