Using the Counter Monitoring System
This chapter describes how to use the Counter Monitoring
System to view real time statistical data on your portal, reported
by various performance counters.
- About Counter MonitoringThe Counter Monitoring System collects information from various performance counters for portal applications and exposes them for diagnosis and review. This system can be used to examine counters from any AquaLogic User Interaction application that resides on a remote host, provided the two machines are on a network in which they can reach each other via UDP.
- Key Performance CountersThe Counter Monitoring System collects information from various performance counters for portal applications and exposes them for diagnosis and review. This system can be used to examine counters from any AquaLogic User Interaction application that resides on a remote host, provided the two machines are on a network in which they can reach each other via UDP.
- Setting up Counter Log FilesYou can specify the location, size, and format of the counter log file(s), how often the counter values are polled, as well as filter which counters are written to the files.
- Running the Counter Monitoring ConsoleIn addition to monitoring counter log files, you can view specified counter values through a console.
- Using Windows Perfmon to View Counter DataThe Counter Monitoring System integrates with the Windows Perfmon application. Once you start the portal, the Perfmon adaptor will add AquaLogic User Interaction counters to the list of possible counters to monitor. You can then start Perfmon (or any other monitoring application that works with Windows Performance Counters) and see AquaLogic User Interaction counters in the list of available counters.
