Viewing Observability Dashboard

TIBCO Control Plane provides the dashboards such as Request Counts, CPU Utilization, Memory Usage, and Application instances. To view Observability dashboard, in TIBCO Control Plane, click Observability menu.

Before you begin
  • You must have configured observability resource. See Configuring Observability Resource.
  • You must have either Application Manager or View Applications permission to view observability dashboard. for more information, refer Permissions.

Observability dashboard provides graphical view (in the form of a chart, bar graph) for applications, request counts, CPU utilization, and memory usage. You can drill down the charts to view more information.

You can perform the following tasks on the Dashboard:

  • You can use the data plane filter at the top to filter data for a selected data plane. By default Global Observability Data Planes option is selected. It means data for all the data planes that use Global Observability resource is displayed. If you have explicitly configured observability resource at the data plane level, those data planes are listed in the filter.

  • For Application CPU Utilization card, you can use CPU usage threshold to filter by using the custom threshold percentage.

  • For Application Memory Usage card, you can use Memory usage threshold to filter by using the custom threshold percentage.

  • On the details pages, click to view more granular data. You must narrow the time range on the graph to enable this icon. To view granular data, the selected time range must be more than 5 hours.
