You can monitor several aspects of your WebSphere® DataPower® XC10 Appliance, including the status
of configuration changes though the Tasks view, and the performance of your data grids though the Monitor view in the user interface.
Before you begin
To see data in either
the Tasks view or
the Monitor view
in the user interface,
your appliance must be configured and you must have data grids created that are receiving
new entries from your applications.
Monitoring data grids in the user interface
You can use the charting capabilities of WebSphere DataPower XC10 Appliance to view the overall performance
of the data grids in your environment.
Monitoring activities with tasks
You can use tasks to monitor the progress of administrative
changes, such as adding appliances to the collective.
Monitoring with the xscmd utility With the xscmd utility, you
can display textual information about the data grids that are running
on your appliance.
Monitoring with CSV files
Monitoring data is automatically written
to CSV files. These CSV files can contain information about the servers,
map, or data grid.
Monitoring with the xsadmin utility
With the xsadmin utility, you can format
and display textual information about the data grids that are running
on your WebSphere DataPower XC10 Appliance. The sample
utility provides a method for parsing and discovering current deployment
data, and can be used as a foundation for writing custom utilities.
Monitoring with Simple Network Monitoring Protocol (SNMP)
With Simple Network Monitoring Protocol (SNMP) support,
you can monitor the status of a IBM® WebSphere DataPower XC10 Appliance as
a part of a larger group of systems in a data center. SNMP monitoring
enhances your ability to notice system issues quickly and then responding
to them promptly.
