Diagnostics Settings allows you to track specific tasks that could be causing your application to run slowly.
To set your diagnostics settings:
- Open the Primavera P6 Administrator.
- In the Configurations drop-down list, select your configuration.
- In the sidebar select Diagnostics.
Note: Changes to these settings require you to restart the P6 server.
- To configure Metrics Collector settings:
- Select Metric Collection if you want poorly performing issues to be tracked. The default value is unselected.
- ThresholdLimit is the amount of time a browser request pends before being tracked as a poorly performing issue. The default value is 5 milliseconds.
- CollectionSize is the number of poorly performing issues that are tracked. The default value is 100.
Notes:
- The number entered for ThresholdLimit should be set to the average processing time of the application.
- When the time taken to complete a browser request exceeds the ThresholdLimit, the task is tracked as poorly performing issue.
- CollectionSize can be adjusted based on the amount of memory in your machine. 100 is the average for a machine with 8GB of RAM available. Oracle recommends using the default value of 100 tracked issues.
- To configure Tracer settings:
- Select Enable to send debugging messages to the Tracer application. Leave this option clear if you do not want debugging messages sent.
- Select Use Background Send Thread to use the background thread to send TCP messages to tracer. Leave this option clear if you don't want to use the background thread to send TCP messages.
- In the Server Name field, enter the destination IP address or hostname for sending tracer information.
The default value is localhost.
- In the Port field, enter the port to use for the Tracer socket connection.
The default value is 9210.
