SiteScope Health Monitor Reference

SiteScope Health Monitors are deployed by using the Health group page. The error, warning, and good status thresholds for these monitors are set in the same way as for other monitor types.

This section describes:

MG Health Monitor
History Health Monitor
Master Health Monitor
Log Event Health Monitor
Monitor Load Monitor
Health of SiteScope Server Monitor

MG Health Monitor

This monitor is designed to check all monitor group (*.mg) files currently defined in the local SiteScope installation. You can edit the update frequency and the display name for this monitor type. You can use the Advanced Options disable the monitor individually as well as selecting other options as shown on the monitor setup page.

The status thresholds for this monitor are based on the number of errors (numErrors) detected in the monitor group files.

History Health Monitor

This monitor is designed to check the history.config file for reports currently defined in the local SiteScope installation. You can edit the update frequency and the display name for this monitor type. You can use the Advanced Options disable the monitor individually as well as selecting other options as shown on the monitor setup page.

The status thresholds for this monitor are based on the number of errors (numErrors) detected in the reports configuration file.

Master Health Monitor

This monitor is designed to check the master.config file for the local SiteScope installation. You can edit the update frequency and the display name for this monitor type. You can use the Advanced Options disable the monitor individually as well as selecting other options as shown on the monitor setup page.

The status thresholds for this monitor are based on the number of errors (numErrors) detected in the master configuration file.

Log Event Health Monitor

This monitor is designed to check the error.log file for the local SiteScope installation. You can edit the counters, the update frequency and the display name for this monitor type. Use the choose counters link to edit the counters selected for the monitor. You can use the Advanced Options disable the monitor individually as well as selecting other options as shown on the monitor setup page.

The status thresholds for this monitor are based on the counters selected. The counters for this monitor type are listed in the table below.

Note: Only the first 15 selected counters will be configured and monitored. A maximum of 10 measurements can be used as status threshold criteria for alerting.

Log Event Monitor Counters

Counter	Description
skipped #1	A monitor has skipped its scheduled run once
skipped #2	A monitor has skipped its scheduled run two times
skipped #3	A monitor has skipped its scheduled run three times
skipped #4	A monitor has skipped its scheduled run four times
skipped #5	A monitor has skipped its scheduled run five times
SiteScope shutting down	SiteScope has been shut down
Reached the limit of processes in the process pool	The number of processes requested from the process pool exceeds the number of processes available in the pool
Error. data reporter failed to report chunk of data	There was a fault in the transfer of SiteScope monitor measurement data to Mercury Application Management
Error. config reporter failed to report chunk of data	There was a fault in the transfer of SiteScope configuration data to Mercury Application Management Monitor Administration
Error. Topaz failed to process data	Mercury Application Management reported a fault in processing data sent from SiteScope
Error. CacheSender. Got to the max number of cached files	SiteScope has reached the maximum number of cached data file awaiting transfer to Mercury Application Management. This may occur if data transfer between SiteScope and Mercury Application Management has been interrupted.
Error. CacheSender. Got to the max old dir size	SiteScope has reached the maximum directory size for cached data file awaiting transfer to Mercury Application Management. This may occur if data transfer between SiteScope and Mercury Application Management has been interrupted.
Topaz SEVERE	Mercury Application Management reported a data transfer or processing fault with a status of `SEVERE`

Status thresholds are set on counters listed above.

Monitor Load Monitor

This monitor is designed to check several SiteScope load statistics reported by the Progress Report for the local SiteScope installation. You can edit the counters, the update frequency and the display name for this monitor type. Use the choose counters link to edit the counters selected for the monitor. You can use the Advanced Options disable the monitor individually as well as selecting other options as shown on the monitor setup page.

The status thresholds for this monitor are based on the counters selected. The counters for this monitor type are listed below.

Note: Only the first 15 selected counters will be configured and monitored. A maximum of 10 measurements can be used as status threshold criteria for alerting.

Health of SiteScope Server Monitor

This monitor is designed to check the SiteScope several server resource and process statistics for the local SiteScope installation. You can edit the counters, the update frequency and the display name for this monitor type. Use the choose counters link to edit the counters selected for the monitor. You can use the Advanced Options disable the monitor individually as well as selecting other options as shown on the monitor setup page.

The status thresholds for this monitor are based on the counters selected. The counters available depend on the platform on which SiteScope is running. The counters for this monitor type are listed below.

Note: Only the first 15 selected counters will be configured and monitored. A maximum of 10 measurements can be used as status threshold criteria for alerting.
