looking for more info on OoB Application Monitoring Console entries

The online help for the Application Monitoring Console is available in the Technical Documentation libraries in both the Cloud and the legacy editions (i.e. Apps 10 and prior).  On the landing page of the IFS environment being used search for the documentation option.  The way to access the documentation varies by edition.  Once the Technical Documentation has been accessed it is then necessary to do a search.  Using the keyword “monitoring" will provide useful results both in the Cloud and the Apps 10 libraries.

For Apps 10 the relevant documentation page is found at:

          Technical Documentation  »  Administration Guide  »  Monitoring  »  Application Monitoring  »  Application Monitoring Console

For Cloud the page may be found at:

          Technical Documentation  »  Solution Manager User Guide  »  Monitoring  »  Application Monitoring  »  Application Monitoring Console  (and Application Monitoring Configuration)

In addition to this documentation note how the Application Monitoring Console is more less self-documenting.  Each line displayed on the Console’s screen shows the results of a SQL query run against the environment’s database.  The actual syntax of each of these queries may be viewed on the nearby screen “Application Monitoring Entries”.  When a monitoring query exceeds or falls below the associated specified range the user should be able to contact the designer of the query to get additional insight into the purpose of the query and the activity it was created to monitor.

P.S. - IFS users are welcome to create and use custom monitoring queries of their own and many customers do so.

Hi Eugene

Thanks for your reply

My question is specifically on the entries which are already present “out of the box” in the Application Monitoring Entries.

For example (this is only one, there are many)

category POD_SCALE

entry NATIVE_SERVER_POD_SCALER

description: Number of native server - sync tasks remaining count

help text: sync tasks remaining count

query: SELECT COUNT(*) FROM mobile_access_queue_tab a LEFT JOIN mobile_access_queue_sent_tab b ON a.message_seq_no = b.message_seq_no WHERE b.node_id IS NULL

We are new to IFS… what does this mean, why is it there (especially as there are no limits defined, what is the point?)

I was hoping the default entries would be documented somewhere with some more info then just the - often very limited - help text or description

Thanks

Wim
