Keeping track of the current status of pipelines is important,
because if a pipeline is down, part of the system is down. You can quickly
see the latest pipeline status and performance statistics on the Pipeline
Status tab of the Configuration Console. The application monitor
receives the information from active SNMP agents, polling the SNMP agents
and then refreshing the Pipeline Status tab every 60
seconds.
Before you begin:
- An SNMP agent must be installed and configured on the pipeline node running
the pipelines to be monitored.
- The SNMP agent must be started using the system-wide port number configured
during pipeline installation. (You can see this configured port number in
the server.xml file.)
- The pipeline must be registered on the Pipelines tab
on the Configuration Console and configured for monitoring.
- The pipeline must have been started using the exact same name and case
of the pipeline name that is registered on Pipelines tab.
About this task:
If you are not able to view the status through the Configuration
Console, you can use a command line to check pipeline status.
Procedure:
- Click the Status button.
- Click the Pipeline Status button.
- Look in the Pipeline Name column to locate
the name of the pipeline that you want to check. (Pipelines are listed in
alphanumeric order by name.) Then look at the information in
the status and transaction statistics columns on the same row as that pipeline
name.
What to do next:
You can also view other information about this pipeline by clicking
on one of the other buttons. For example, if you wanted to see the last time
this pipeline was started, click the Events tab.
