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 the Spotfire Server web administration pages and click Monitoring & Diagnostics.
  2. Under Monitoring & Diagnostics in the navigation panel to the left, click Instances.
  3. Under Network diagnostics, click the instance for which you want to log and export monitoring diagnostics.
  4. Under Diagnostics, in the Select diagnostics category drop-down list, choose the default diagnostics option.
    • For Web Player instances, this option is Analyses and Diagnostics.
    • For Automation Services instances, this option is Automation Services Diagnostics.
  5. Under Monitoring logging you have access to 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 (extremely verbose) 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 Click the button to select one of the export options below.
    Export monitoring logs and analysis Export a snapshot of the log files together with a Spotfire analysis file used to analyze them.
    Note: In the Spotfire client, the Missing File dialog might open. If that happens, do the following:
    1. If available, click Use the file found in the same directory as the analysis or browse for the log files (if you have moved them).
    2. Select the Apply to all missing files in the analysis check box.
    3. Click OK.
    4. In the Match Columns dialog, click OK.
    Export monitoring analysis Export the monitoring analysis file without the logs. Use this if the logs have been copied in another way and replace the data sources in the analysis with your logs using the Data canvas.
    Export information Export diagnostics information to a text file.

Results

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