TIBCO Spotfire® Server and Environment - Installation and Administration

Logging and exporting monitoring diagnostics

Monitoring diagnostics can be logged, and the logged results can be exported as a Spotfire analysis file that displays the information in the log files.

Procedure

  1. Log in to Spotfire Server and then click Monitoring & Diagnostics.
  2. On the Instances page, under Network diagnostics, click the instance for which you want to log and export monitoring diagnostics.
  3. Under Diagnostics, in the left drop-down list, select the default diagnostics option.
    • For Web Player instances, this option is Analyses and Diagnostics.
    • For Automation Services instances, this option is Automation Services Diagnostics.
  4. In the Logging drop-down list to the right, select one of the following options.
    Option Description
    Enable Monitoring Logging Start logging to the logs needed for the monitoring analysis on debug level.
    Enable Full Monitoring Logging Start logging, with enabled performance diagnostics, to the logs needed for the monitoring analysis on debug level.

    This monitoring level is extremely verbose, so do not set this option unless asked to do so by Spotfire Support. After collecting the necessary information from this level, reset logging by selecting Restore Monitoring Logging or by restarting the service instance.

    Restore Monitoring Logging Restore logging levels to what is specified in the log4net.config file.
    Export Monitoring Logs and Analysis Export a snapshot of the log files together with the Spotfire analysis file used to analyze them.
    Note: In Spotfire, the Missing File dialog may open. Do the following:
    1. Select the Apply to all missing files in the analysis check box.
    2. Click OK.
    3. In the Match Columns dialog that opens, click OK.
    Export Monitoring Analysis Export the monitoring analysis file without the logs. Use this if the logs have been copied in another way.
    Export Information Export diagnostics information to a text file.

Results

Any specified monitoring logs are written to the directory <installation directory>/nm/logs.
