eG Monitoring

Measures reported by CogLogTest The Log Service records log messages generated by the dispatcher and other services. The log service is configured to record log information in a file, a database, a remote log server, Windows Event Viewer, or a UNIX® system log. If the Log Service is unavailable or fails to service log requests, then, the log messages will not be recorded. Without these log messages, any issues arising in the dispatcher or other services could not be traced immediately resulting in longer troubleshooting duration. To ensure that the log messages are recorded without any break, it is essential for the administrators to monitor the Log Service. The CogLogTest helps administrators in this regard! This test monitors the Log Service and reports the current status of the service. This test also throws light on the number of log service requests that were processed and the count of requests that were processed successfully. Outputs of the test: One set of results for the target IBM Cognos Business Intelligence suite being monitored. The measures made by this test are as follows:
Measurement | Description | Measurement Unit | Interpretation
--- | --- | --- | ---
status | Indicates the current status of the service. |  | The values that this measure can report and their corresponding numeric values are listed in the table below:
Measure Value | Numeric Value
Available | 100
Unavailable | 0
Note: By default, this measure reports the Measure Values listed in the table above to indicate the current status of the service. In the graph of this measure however, the same is represented using the numeric equivalents only i.e., 0 or 100.
processedRequests | Indicates the number of requests that were processed during the last measurement period. | Number |
successfulRequestsPerSec | Indicates the rate at which the requests were processed successfully during the last measurement period. | Requests/Sec |
