Appistry EAF provides two tools to monitor fabric activity
Appistry Fabric Monitor
The Appistry Fabric Monitor is a flash-based application that allows you to view the current status of a fabric and its workers. Graphs provide information regarding
- TPS
- CPU use
- number of workers in the fabric
A pictorial graphic displays a logical representation of the fabric and each worker's administrative responsibilities. This logical representation may be viewed by region or IP address. The Fabric Monitor receives fabric data from a Tomcat/Axis-based application located on the same side of the firewall as the fabric.
For information regarding the monitor's operation refer to the HTML help file included in the fabric monitor installation.
Log Monitor
The Log Monitor is a command line utility that allows you to view fabric messages on the screen as they occur. Use the messages to verify and analyze fabric activity. At this time, the log monitor does not write the messages to a file. For an explanation of the messages, refer to the Appistry EAF messages.
Launch Log Monitor
To launch the log monitor,
- At the command prompt, move to the fabric/system directory.
- At the command prompt, type the following command where address:port is the MCAST address and port the fabric sends messages regarding fabric operations. Use the message-logger-group and message-logger-port values in the fabric.cfg for the address and port. If they are not in the fabric.cfg use the fabric-address value in the addr.cfg for the address.
log_monitor address:port
log_monitor 239.255.0.1:4000
Note. If the address and port are not included, the Log Monitor listens for messages on 239.255.0.1 and port 4000.
