Image Services and Content Platform Engine have several ways to track system activity in log files. You can use these files to troubleshoot problems that occur when you install, configure, or use Content Federation Services for Image Services.
The perf_mon tool gathers statistical data from the following areas: cpu usage for kernel and non-kernel activities; overall file system activities; kernel file system activities; network I/O statistics; database server counts; document services counts, RPC statistics, and security statistics.
For more information about using the perf_mon tool, see the Image Services System Tools Guide .
Use FileNet® System Configuration Editor (fn_edit) to enable quick logging (Collect Statistics) on the System Application Services tab.
Quick logging collects statistics for committals, retrievals, and deletions during system image processing. These statistics are kept in the /fnsw/local/tmp/qlogs/1 directory.
The IBM® Enterprise Content Management System Monitor is a functional expansion that provides system monitoring capabilities for the entire FileNet product family. In a Content Federation Services for Image Services environment, ECM System Monitor can help you track import agent status, document committal and retrieval flow, and Image Services index transfer.
ECM System Monitor has a web-based operator console that you can customize by setting performance thresholds and alerts. You can tailor the standard suite of reports to your Content Federation Services for Image Services configuration.
On Windows servers, Content Platform Engine provides counters that enable you to monitor system performance by using any performance monitoring utility that is compatible with Windows.
Packaged with the Windows server, the Performance Monitoring utility enables you to choose counters for the Content Platform Engine components that you want to monitor. This utility enables you to view activity on your Content Platform Engine server in real time. It also generates log files that you can later view and analyze by using printable graphs, histograms, or reports.
