Spotfire® Server and Environment - Installation and Administration

Server metrics to monitor (advanced)

These more advanced Spotfire Server metrics can help you determine if your Spotfire implementation is optimized.

Table 1. Metrics available in JMX

What to look for

  • A constant rise in errors indicates an issue that should be investigated.
  • A constant rise in timeouts, rejected jobs, or both, means that the underlying resource pool is not configured to handle the sustained load.
