Use

You can use the liveCache Alert Monitor to identify memory problems in good time, to check the security of your liveCache database instance and to monitor performance.

If data collection methods are periodically scheduled, alerts are automatically updated and forwarded to the monitoring tree. Analysis methods deliver additional information about the alert statuses, and auto-reaction methods can be configured for automatic reactions to new alerts.

Integration

You can use the following start options:

     Alert Monitor
In the liveCache Assistant, choose
liveCache Alert Monitor MaxDB Monitoring liveCache.
or
In the liveCache Assistant, choose
liveCache Monitoring Alert Monitor MaxDB Monitoring liveCache.
The Alert Monitoring is activated and the liveCache connection has been added to the liveCache Alert Monitor.

     CCMS Monitoring
If Alert Monitoring is not activated (for example, when accessing liveCache alert monitor in the liveCache assistant), you should activate the alert monitor and add the liveCache connection to the liveCache alert monitor (see below: Managing

The user has been assigned a role in accordance with the authorization concept. You are in the user menu of the user with the authorizations that correspond to this role.

Features

If necessary, update the display for the liveCache Alert Monitor tree. To do this, choose Refresh and Invalidate Data Cache in the liveCache Alert Monitor. Expand your chosen liveCache Alert Monitor.

Nodes

Every monitored element of the liveCache is displayed as part of a hierarchical tree (monitoring tree) and described as a monitoring tree element (MTE), or node. Online help (short and long texts) gives you the most important information about each node.

You can choose from the following displays for each liveCache node in the monitoring tree:

     Properties

     Space Management

     Performance

     Backup/Recovery

     Health

     liveCache Applications

     External Analysis Tools

Colors of the Alerts

     Green displays mean that the liveCache state is OK. The administrator does not need to intervene.

     Yellow or red displays mean that this state is putting production operation of the liveCache database instance at risk. The administrator must take measures to find and eliminate the cause of the alert.

Data Collector

Data collectors usually collect data for more than one node. You can see an overview of the data collectors in the appropriate internal subtree. For information on the frequency of the data collections, see the long text for each node.

Analysis Methods

You can start the analysis methods of a node through the node itself (for example, by double-clicking it).

Managing liveCache Connections in the liveCache Alert Monitor
