eG Monitoring
 

Measures reported by BobiCommLogTest

This test monitors logs from server types that deal with data transfer and communication in general. These server types include: Connection servers, File repository servers, Web Application container servers, Web Intelligence servers and Server Intelligence agents. The test scans these logs for specific patterns of messages and reports the count of eror and general information messages that match the configured patterns. This way, the test pinpoints critical errors that the BO BI platform that may have experienced recently and reveals the services that were affected.

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
highImportance Indicates the number of log messages with importance set to ‘high’ in the last measure period. Messages High importance designation for the log message is characterized by the ‘>=’ symbol. For each such message, detailed diagnosis provides the details such as location (message source), timestamp, trace category, server, message, user etc.
highestImportance Indicates the number of log messages with importance set as ‘highest’ in the last measure period. Messages Highest importance designation for the log message is characterized by the ‘>>’ symbol. For each such message, detailed diagnosis provides the details such as location (message source), timestamp, trace category, server, message, user etc.,
errors Indicates the number of error log messages in the last measure period. Messages Error log messages have Severity values set to ‘E’. For each such message, detailed diagnosis provides the details such as Location (message source), timestamp, trace category, server, message, user etc.
asserts Indicates the number of Assert log messages in the last measure period. Messages Assert log messages have Severity values set to ‘A’. For each such message, detailed diagnosis provides the details such as location (message source), timestamp, trace category, server, message, user etc.,
fatals Indicates the number of fatal log messages in the last measure period. Messages Fatal log messages have severity values set to ‘F’. For each such message, detailed diagnosis provides the details such as location (message source), timestamp, trace category, server, message, user etc.,
newMsgs Indicates the number of log messages in the last measure period. Messages  
problemRate Indicates the rate of all problem messages in the last measure period. Messages/Sec A high value is a cause for concern as it indicates that problems are occurring frequently. Compare the value of this measure across SERVER ABBREVIATIONS to identify the server that is the most problem-prone.
