System monitoring reference
System monitoring saves information about the performance of Spotfire Server and the services in the same database or files as the action logs.
System monitoring collects information at regular intervals.
- If you log to a database, to reduce the number of measurements in the database over time, measurements older than a specified amount of time are replaced with average, minimum, and maximum values for a given period of time. The general pruning for the database also affects the monitoring values.
- If you log to file, a file is created every day (the default), so no pruning or averaging is done, and you must manage the space needs of the files.
- System monitoring entries
This reference lists all of the entries. When you analyze an action log, you can organize the semi-colon separated data into categories, actions, and properties (identifiers, and arguments). You can map these to database columns, which you can display in a Spotfire Analyst visualization. - System monitoring properties
Spotfire Server and the Web Player service instance log different properties. The properties are described in this reference.
