Pipeline status and statistics

Monitoring the status, statistics, and performance of a pipeline is important to keeping it running, balancing data loads, and spotting potential problems before they occur. The application monitor works with an SNMP agent running on the pipeline node to communicate the status and statistics of pipelines, which are then displayed in the Configuration Console.

Before you can view status and statistics about a pipeline, the following must be successfully completed:

  1. The pipeline is installed and configured on its pipeline node.
  2. The pipeline is registered in the Configuration Console on the Pipelines tab and is configured for monitoring.
  3. An SNMP agent is installed and configured on the host machine.
  4. Both the SNMP agent and the pipeline are started on the pipeline node.
    • The SNMP agent started must use the global port number configured during installation.
    • The pipeline must be started using the exact pipeline name registered on the Pipelines tab, including case.
Note: (Windows platforms only) If you start the pipeline as a service, you can view status information in the Windows Event Viewer that you cannot view elsewhere.

Status and statistic information

Once a pipeline is configured for monitoring and begins processing data, you can see useful status and statistical information about the pipeline in the Configuration Console:
  • Status and performance statistics (such as transactions per minute) in the Pipeline Status tab
  • UMF exceptions on the UMF Exceptions tab
  • Application monitor events (such as when the pipeline starts, stops, or experiences errors) on the Events tab
  • New identities added to the system in the last seven days from data processed by this pipeline on the New Identities tab
  • Reports showing more detailed statistics about the data loaded and processed by the pipeline on the Reports tab
