Application monitor

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.
