IBM App Connect Enterprise, Version 11.0.0.2 Operating Systems: Windows, Linux


Managing resource statistics collection

Use resource statistics data to monitor the performance and resource usage of your integration servers. Use the server.conf.yaml configuration file for your integration server to activate the collection of resource statistics, and then view the statistics in the IBM® App Connect Enterprise web user interface. Alternatively, you can configure the collection of resource statistics for the integration node by modifying the properties in the node.conf.yaml file.You can also configure your integration servers to report resource statistics to IBM Cloud Log Analysis, and view the data in a Kibana dashboard. For more information, see Reporting logging and statistics data to IBM Cloud Log Analysis: Overview. It is also possible to configure your integration servers to write resource statistics to files. For more information, see Reporting resource statistics to files.

Before you begin

About this task

You can start collecting resource statistics data for resources used by any active message flows that are deployed in an integration server, by modifying the server.conf.yaml configuration file and setting the resource statistics properties.

Procedure

  1. Open the server.conf.yaml configuration file for your integration server, by using a YAML editor.
    If you do not have access to a YAML editor, you can edit the file by using a plain text editor; however, you must ensure that you do not include any tab characters, because they are not accepted in YAML files and would cause your integration server configuration to fail. If you are using a plain text editor, ensure that you use a YAML validation tool to validate the content of your file. The properties that you need to set are in the Statistics section of the .yaml configuration file:
    Statistics:
      # Application message flows will by default inherit Snapshot and Archive values set here
        ...
        Resource:
        #reportingOn: false      # choose 1 of : true|false, default false
        #outputFormat: ''        # comma separated list of : file,bluemix    
  2. Set the reportingOn property to true. By default, the publication of resource statistics is turned off.
  3. Set the outputFormat property to one or more of the following values (separated by commas and enclosed by single quotes):
    file
    Specify file if you want to send the resource statistics to a file. For more information, see Reporting resource statistics to files.
    bluemix
    Specify bluemix if you want to send the resource statistics to IBM Cloud Log Analysis, so that they can be displayed in a Kibana dashboard. For more information, see Configuring an integration server to send logging and statistics data to a Log Analysis service in IBM Cloud.
  4. Restart the integration server for the changes to take effect. For information about how to start an integration server, see Starting an integration server.
