Business Monitor

The Business Monitor monitors business objects based on predefined saved queries/saved searches and let's you see when records match the search criteria defined in the saved query.

Also you must enable the business monitor in your user preferences.

  • Click the Business Monitor icon The Business Monitor icon in the Global Header. It is an image of a flag. to display the business monitor.

The Business Monitor page lists the saved queries that were configured for each query type (or business object) and the number of resulting records that exist based on the search criteria defined in the saved query.

The top of the page shows the Time of Last Refresh and Time of Next Refresh based on the business monitor configuration you are using. These values are automatically updated if you have the Business Monitor Auto-Refresh option turned on by setting the glog.webserver.businessMonitor.autoRefresh property. To set the actual refresh interval, enter a value in the Refresh Interval field when creating or editing the business monitor. Otherwise, only the Time of Last Refresh appears and it is updated after you perform a manual refresh by clicking the Refresh icon icon.

If you have new results and the business monitor is open, a red circle appears on the icon to indicate that records in any of your saved queries have changed.
