IBM System Dashboard for Enterprise Content Management, Version 5.0.0.2

IBM System Dashboard for Enterprise Content Management overview

The IBM® System Dashboard for Enterprise Content Management is a performance monitoring tool that IBM distributes with many of its Enterprise Content Management products and suites for both Windows and UNIX servers. The System Dashboard displays real-time performance data that system administrators and operators can use to proactively identify and resolve potential performance problems before they occur. The performance data can also be archived for management reporting and trend analysis.

In addition, the IBM System Usage Reporter is also installed with the System Dashboard. The Usage Reporter is an administrative tool that monitors the number of users who access Enterprise Content Management products and provides both near real-time and historical usage information.

IBM also offers the Enterprise Content Management System Monitor. While the System Dashboard is a performance monitoring tool that tracks information such as application-specific events, the System Monitor continually monitors the health of IBM systems and alerts administrators to critical errors.

Important:

Some monitoring tools can negatively affect FileNet® P8 and other Enterprise Content Management servers performance and throughput. If you experience suboptimal performance, disable the monitoring tool to understand its effect on the system. If use of the tool impacts performance, either modify the configuration of the tool so that you get the required monitoring information without the performance effect, or switch to a different monitoring tool.
