Monitoring

You can monitor several aspects of your WebSphere® DataPower® XC10 Appliance, including the status of configuration changes though the Tasks view, and the performance of your data grids though the Monitor view in the user interface.

Before you begin

To see data in either the Tasks view or the Monitor view in the user interface, your appliance must be configured and you must have data grids created that are receiving new entries from your applications.
  • Monitoring data grids in the user interface
    You can use the charting capabilities of WebSphere DataPower XC10 Appliance to view the overall performance of the data grids in your environment.
  • Monitoring activities with tasks
    You can use tasks to monitor the progress of administrative changes, such as adding appliances to the collective.
  • Monitoring with the xscmd utility
    With the xscmd utility, you can display textual information about the data grids that are running on your appliance.
  • [Firmware refresh Version 2.0.0.2 and later] Monitoring with CSV files
    Monitoring data is automatically written to CSV files. These CSV files can contain information about the servers, map, or data grid.
  • Monitoring with the xsadmin utility
    With the xsadmin utility, you can format and display textual information about the data grids that are running on your WebSphere DataPower XC10 Appliance. The sample utility provides a method for parsing and discovering current deployment data, and can be used as a foundation for writing custom utilities.
  • Monitoring with Simple Network Monitoring Protocol (SNMP)
    With Simple Network Monitoring Protocol (SNMP) support, you can monitor the status of a IBM® WebSphere DataPower XC10 Appliance as a part of a larger group of systems in a data center. SNMP monitoring enhances your ability to notice system issues quickly and then responding to them promptly.
