Monitoring Content Collector system performance
You have various possibilities to monitor the performance of your IBM Content Collector server, collectors, and task routes.
Using the system dashboard
The IBM Content Collector system dashboard is a tool with which to quickly determine which nodes and which task routes are actively processing documents, and which are not. It is aimed to provide a quick insight to the health of the IBM Content Collector system.
Using performance reporting
The performance reporting component gathers statistical data about the performance of your IBM Content Collector installation. You can use the report viewer to generate a performance report from this data and display it.
Using performance counters
Performance counters provide an in depth monitoring of the system, recording the details about the Content Collector processing progress, such as the number of documents accessed, the number of documents submitted for processing, and the number of unique and duplicate document instances.
Tracking system log files
Monitor the system log files for the various components of IBM Content Collector to detect problems and errors that might occur during processing.
Using audit logs
Items that are processed by a specific task route can be monitored in an audit log. Include an Audit Log task in your task route to record information about the final status of every item that is processed by the task route.
Using event logs
Configuration Manager events are logged in event logs. Monitor these logs to detect problems and errors that might occur during processing.
Collecting mailbox statistics
To collect statistical information about your Lotus® Domino® or Microsoft Exchange mailboxes or stores, configure a collector in a task route to create statistics, either in addition to collecting documents or with the sole purpose of creating statistics. This statistical information can help you monitor the processing and archiving of documents, and it can help to ensure that all eligible documents are actually collected.
Monitoring indexing
Monitor the indexing process and the indexing performance.
