Viewing Monitor Servlet Diagnostics

You can view diagnostic information that is related to the monitor servlet by accessing the servlet using the following URLs.

URL

Description

http://<host>/monitor/<site>/?cmd=agents

Reveals additional statistics about the agents sending data to the monitor servlet.

http://<host>/monitor/<site>/?cmd=ppmiclients

Reveals additional statistics about the PPMI clients receiving data from the monitor servlet.

Note: To provide access to this interface, you must enable the PPMConsole on the Global Administration page.

See Setting Global System Options.

Agents refers to the agents on various monitored systems that send performance data to the current monitor servlet.

The system retrieves the agent information from the monitor's cache. If an administrator has changed any agent settings and clicked Save and Notify Agents on the System Definitions page, the agent information temporarily disappears in the Agents grid. Updated agent settings appear in the Agents grid after the agent communicates with monitor servlet.

Note: You identify the monitored system, using the system ID (PeopleSoft GUID) appearing just above each grid. To identify the agents, you need to map the system GUID and agent ID with the definitions in the monitoring database.

Note: Agents appear in the grid if they have successfully registered. The appearance of an agent does not imply that data from the agent is being successfully inserted into the monitoring database.

The following information appears in the Agents grid.
