Service Monitoring

Use Service Monitoring to view a list of service instance records on the manager. A service instance record is created whenever a service or service set is run. Service instance records show the status of each service instance and indicate whether the service instance completed successfully.

Service Monitoring contains two sections:
  • The first section contains a list of service instance records.
  • The second section contains more detailed information about the service instance that is selected in the first section. You can use this information to diagnose problems if the service does not complete successfully.
    • Service Results shows statistics for services that are run with the executor (service type of Executor).
    • Service Output shows the trace log output for services that are run with the executor and that failed. For services that are run with service execution components other than the executor, Service Output shows the result output.

If you access the manager on an application server, you can create filters to limit the types of service instance records that are displayed in Service Monitoring. You can filter the list by status, service type, service request type, management server, and service start time. Filters are saved with your user record and are available until you delete the filter.

If you access the manager on an application server, service groups determine which service instance records are displayed under Service Monitoring. A user can see a service instance record only if the user has access to all service groups to which all of the associated services belong. For example, user smith does not have access to any service groups. User smith therefore cannot see any service instance records for any services that belong to a service group. User smith also cannot see any service instance records for any service sets that contain services that belong to a service group.
