Observability metrics on the Agents page in Jitterbit Management Console

Introduction

To monitor private agents and groups, select the Metrics tab:

Metrics

Note

You must enable native observability on every private agent you want to monitor.

The Metrics tab contains a toolbar, and charts grouped into two sections, Capability and Service.

Toolbar

The toolbar has these controls:

  • Metrics selector: Select which metrics charts to show.

  • View selector: Select Agents to view metrics for individual agents, or Agent Groups to view metrics for whole agent groups:

    Example chart in Agents view Example chart in Agent Groups view
    Agents view Agent groups view

  • Date range selector: Select the date range to show metrics for. The default date range is the past 24 hours. To increase the time resolution of charts, either change the date range, or click on a colored segment. Subsequent clicks decrease the range until the limit (1 minute resolution) is reached. Your browser's locale determines how dates are shown.

  • Statuses selector: Select which of the following statuses to show:

    • Healthy: The agent or a member of the group is accepting operations for processing.

    • Degraded: The agent or a member of the group is in an unknown state.

    • Unhealthy: The agent or a member of the group cannot process operations.

  • Agent group selector: Select which agent groups to show metrics for.

  • Agent selector: When the view selector is set to Agents, select which agent to show metrics for. (When the view selector is Agent Groups, this control is inactive.)

Observability metrics charts

Charts plot data using the following colors to indicate your private agents' or private agent groups' health:

Status Example Description
Healthy 2 Healthy Agents Agent or agent group is operational and capable.
Degraded 1 Degraded Agent Agent or agent group has partial or reduced capabilities.
Unhealthy 1 Unhealthy Agent Group Agent or agent group had critical issues resulting in loss of operational capabilities.

The meaning of each status varies with the metric, and some metrics can show any status, while others can show only two. The following table shows which metrics can show which statuses, and what the status means:

Category Metric Healthy Degraded Unhealthy
Capability API Capability Capable Incapable
Overall health Capable Incapable
Run Operation Capability Capable Incapable
System Resource Capability Capable Incapable
Service Apache Service is up Service is down
Cleanup Service is up Service is down
PGBouncer Service is up Service is down
PostgreSQL Service is up Service is down
Process Engine Service is up Service is down
Scheduler Service is up Service is down
Tomcat Service is up Service is down
Verbose Log Shipper Service is up Service is down

For each of the following metrics, the status depends on the percentage of capacity used:

  • Healthy: Less than 75% used.
  • Degraded: Between 75% and 90% used.
  • Unhealthy: More than 90% used.
Category Metric
Service Agent Services Client
Apache Threads
PostgreSQL Connections
Rest Client
Local Rest Client
Tomcat Threads
Pending Run Operations
Pending Log Sync

You can expand or move charts with these controls:

  • Expand: Click to expand the chart to fill the window. Click to return the chart to its original size.

  • Move: Click and drag to move the chart to another position.

For some charts, you can switch between bar and line charts using the and icons. Line charts have shaded regions showing the threshold values for each agent health status, Healthy, Degraded, or Unhealthy:

Line chart thresholds

For charts that have them, line charts are the default view when the Management Console Agents page is first loaded.
