Monitor Service Levels
Understanding service levels typically involves monitoring process state and viewing system metrics.
Oracle Analytics Server automatically and continuously measures runtime performance in real time. The performance metrics are automatically enabled; you don't need to set options or perform any extra configuration to collect them.
System metrics are available in Fusion Middleware Control for system components within a given Oracle Analytics Server installation. If you encounter a problem, such as an application that's running slowly or is hanging, then you can view more detailed performance information to learn more information about the problem.
You can use WSLT commands to periodically save metric information to a file so that you have a record of past metric values. See DMS Custom WLST Commands in WLST Command Reference for Infrastructure Components.
You can also view metrics for Java components using the Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console.
This section contains the following topics:
Use Fusion Middleware Control to View All Metrics
You can view and graph all the available metrics in Fusion Middleware Control.
The data is logged transiently (that is, logging starts when you go to the page and select a particular metric for display).
- In the tree navigator, expand the Business Intelligence folder and right-click the biinstance node.
- Select Monitoring, then select Performance Summary. The Performance Summary page appears, displaying a selection of metrics for this installation.
- To customize the metrics that are displayed on the Performance Summary page, click Show Metric Palette. Then, expand the appropriate metric category and select or deselect individual metrics. The metrics that you select are displayed on the Performance Summary page.
Use the Administration Console to View Metrics for Java Components
Use the Administration Console to view metrics for Java components.
You can view metrics on the Monitoring tab for the selected Managed Server, or you can use the Metric Browser. If your deployment is based on the Simple Install type, use the Monitoring tab for the Administration Server.
- Log in to the Administration Console.
- Expand the Environment node in the Domain Structure window.
- Click Servers to display the Summary of Servers page.
- Click the server name (for example, oracle_bi1 or AdminServer(admin)).
- Click the Monitoring tab.
Click Help for more information about the metrics displayed on this tab.
