Monitoring CPU usage by instances

If you have performance problems, and you expect the CPU usage is an issue, you can monitor the usage for nodes and instances. The Spotfire Server Monitoring & Diagnostics tools provide this information. This topic covers monitoring for instances.

About this task

To monitor CPU usage by nodes, examine the Nodes area in the Overview page for Monitoring & Diagnostics.
To monitor CPU usage by instances, examine the performance counters for Web Player instances or Automation Services instances.

Before you begin

You must have administrative credentials for Spotfire Server.

Procedure

Log in to the Spotfire Server web administration pages and click Monitoring & Diagnostics.
On the Overview page, in the service instances area of interest (Web Player instances or Automation Services), look for the column CPU usage (avg).
The value outside of the parenthesis indicates the percentage of the CPU that the service instance identified in that row is using. The value inside the parenthesis specifies the average CPU usage for that service instance.
