Configuring Profiler and Performance Monitor
Profiler Configuration
To set the PROIV Profiler configuration, do the following:
-
On the Analytics Settings tab, click PROIV Profiler.
The configuration page appears with default settings. -
Modify the configuration as required. The following table describes the fields that can be configured.
Field Name
Description
Trace File Directory Path
Enter the path to store the trace file. For example, the default path on Windows machine is "C:/Program Files/Zellis/PROIV Version 9/VirtualMachine/profiler_traces"
Note: By default, .P4P is the extension of the trace file. The .P4P file extension is changed to .p4a representing the file is analyzed. A zip folder is created with P4P File, GRIDSON File (stores data to represent in the form of Grid in the Profiler screen) and TREESON File (stores data to represent in the form of Tree in the Profiler screen) in the place of P4P file. In case of any processing errors, an alert appears with Data Load error. Refer to Analyzing Profiler Results for more information.
PROIV Performance Monitor Configuration
Database Configuration
Whenever an event point triggers within each PROIV component, and the component is enabled for data logging, the performance data is stored in the database. A database connection is not opened until code executes a query against the database.
To set the database configuration:
-
On the Analytics Settings tab, click PROIV Performance Monitor.
The Database Settings section appears with default values. -
Modify the configuration as required. The following table describes the fields to change the values if your database server is on a different computer.
Field Name
Description
Database Connection
The database connection string contains the source database name, PC name and port number to establish the initial connection. The default string is "jdbc:derby://PC40455.uk.rebushr.com:9820". To connect to a local computer, specify "(local)" for the server.
If a server name is not specified, a connection will be attempted to the default instance on the local computer.
Database Name
Specifies the default schema in which the connection is established and provides compatibility with the JDBC driver. The default database is "ppmdb".
Database Username
Specify the user name to login to the server. The default user name is "proivsysdb".
Database Password
Specify the password. The default password for the corresponding user name is displayed.
JDBC Driver
Determine the JDBC driver location and configure the driver. The default jdbc driver is "org.apache.derby.jdbc.ClientDriver".
Miscellaneous Settings
Metric Sample Period
The interval of time (in seconds) at which metrics are sampled. The default value is 60 seconds.
Data Retention Time
The period of time (in hours) for which metric data will be retained. The default value is 216 hours.
-
Click Submit.
A success message appears if the connection is established. If a connection is refused and an exception is thrown by the Server as 'unable to connect the server', refer to the following resolution criteria:
- The server name is misspelled or the port number is incorrect.
- If there is a firewall blocking the port on the server; you will not be able to connect to the server.
Configuring Data Components for Performance Monitoring
To record and analyze performance of a particular PROIV component, you
must enable the component in the configuration page. This page displays
a list of components that have registered for performance monitoring and
allows you to enable/disable performance monitoring for these components.
Note: Slider control for the components
signify the default status of services/components at startup. The tabular
format with the list of components along with the instance id helps you
to enable specific instance.
Important Note: When gathering performance data from multiple installations, care should be taken not to enable multiple components which have the same type and name. Doing so will aggregate the performance data from all those components together, making it impossible to get a clear view of performance.
To enable the component for performance monitoring:
-
On the Analytics Settings tab, click PROIV Performance Monitor.
-
Under the Component Default States section, turn ON the slider for the respective component.
Component Default States
Gateway Enabled
Turn ON the slider to enable the Gateway component to register for performance monitoring.
OpenClient Enabled
Turn ON the slider to enable the OpenClient component to register for performance monitoring.
REST Web Services Enabled
Turn ON the slider to enable the REST web services component to register for performance monitoring.
Soap Web Services Enabled
Turn ON the slider to enable the SOAP web services component to register for performance monitoring.
Virtual Machine Enabled
Turn ON the slider to enable the Virtual Machine component to register for performance monitoring.
-
Click Submit.
A success message appears if the connection is established. If a connection is refused and an exception is thrown by the Server as 'unable to connect the server', refer to the following resolution criteria:
- The server name is misspelled or the port number is incorrect.
- If there is a firewall blocking the port on the server; you will not be able to connect to the server.
