The Snaplex wall enables you to monitor the resource utilization in your Snaplex. This data is helpful in visually analyzing and controlling resource utilization. Using the stacked area charts, you can monitor the resource load on your Snaplex over different time periods and gain an understanding of resource utilization over time.
The SnapLogic Dashboard provides multiple widgets instead of tiles as the UI display medium for monitoring metrics. Widgets refer to the specific interactive area charts where you can monitor a specific metric. You can choose which widgets display on a Dashboard by using the selector menu.
To view a specific report on the Snaplex dashboard wall, click the Widget selector dropdown, and select the area charts and reports to display on the dashboard wall.
The dashboard contains charts for key metrics and a summary report. The Overview report provides the metrics for key resource usage indicators for that Snaplex.
You can view these metrics in the one of the two following views:
For every report, you can click to download the chart report.
The line of each chart represents the Snaplex node over the specified time range. Charts display the data points for each node, with each data point representing the average value of that metric over a one minute interval. For time ranges more than 7 days, each data point represents the average value of that metric over a 15 minute interval instead. You can click on the node to display the metrics. Each data point represents the quantity or a percentage of utilization for the target Snaplex node.
You can now correlate data spikes in your Snaplex resources with the Pipeline executions. As multiple running Pipelines on a Snaplex increasingly use more resources, monitoring performance becomes paramount to maintaining production Pipelines. The performance of the Snaplex might suffer under too many, complex Pipelines, and to prevent a Snaplex node from failing, you can reassign a Pipeline to another Snaplex node or add more nodes.
With interactive widgets on the Snaplex dashboard, you can expand the widget and click on the data point to determine which Pipelines are causing the data spikes.
To view the Snaplex dashboard, log into SnapLogic and go to the Dashboard > Snaplex subtab. From the Snaplex dropdown list, select the target Snaplex. By default, the Snaplex dashboard displays all the available metrics for the last hour.
You can customize the Snaplex dashboard to do the following:
When you access the Snaplex dashboard, you see the execution metrics for an hour. However, you have the option to specify a custom time range by selecting one of the time range options in the top right corner of the Dashboard. Click any one of the following options to change the time range:
Start and End date: View the Snaplex metrics for the start and end date you specify. Enter your target dates in the Start and End date fields in the calendar dropdown and select the dates on the calendar. The start date can go back to a maximum of 60 days from the current date.
You can customize the Snaplex dashboard layout by dragging the panels and dropping them at the desired location on the Dashboard.
