The Configuration Console includes an application monitor that
you use to monitor pipelines (their status, statistics, and errors) and route
results between pipelines and other systems or databases.
To take advantage of the application monitor, you must register the
pipelines that you want to monitor or route results from in the Configuration
Console.
Monitoring pipelines
The application monitor works
with an SNMP agent that runs on the pipeline node hosting the pipelines that
you want to monitor. The SNMP agent sends statistics on all registered pipelines
on a pipeline node to the application monitor, which publishes them in the
Configuration Console. The application monitor refreshes pipeline status and
statistics every 60 seconds.
Routing pipeline results
The application monitor
enables you to route the results of the data processed by the pipelines to
other systems or databases. To route the results of pipeline processing, you
use the Configuration Console to configure routing rules, which specify which
pipeline to route from and where the results are routed to.
For example, rather than have analysts build report queries against
the entity database (which might be cumbersome), some organizations choose
to route a subset of the results to a reports database. The analysts build
and run their investigative report queries against the reports database, which
contains only the entity and relationship information important to the analysts.
