Monitoring IBM Business Process Manager servers
The Process Admin Console enables you to monitor the performance of the Process Servers in your environment. And, when necessary, you can view IBM® Business Process Manager logs to help resolve issues.
Read the following sections to learn more.
- Capturing process instrumentation data
The Process Admin Console includes an Instrumentation monitor to help identify performance bottlenecks in Process Server and to capture instrumentation data that you can use to further analyze any performance issues.
Disabling process instrumentation data
If IBM BPM instrumentation appears to use large amounts of memory, you can disable this service or the collection of IBM BPM runtime statistics by adding specific settings to the 100Custom.xml file.- Using process instrumentation data for cache tuning
In the Server Admin area of the Process Admin Console, you can select Monitoring > Instrumentation to display process instrumentation data in the Instrumentation monitor. If the displayed data indicates an unexpectedly high number of cache misses for the cache settings, you can edit the 100Custom.xml files and override the problematic default values of the cache settings. This topic describes the persistent object (PO) factory cache settings and repository cache settings that are reflected in the PO Factory and Repository sections of the Instrumentation monitor. In some situations, you may need to override the default values for the cache settings with new values. - Cache and cache-related settings
In IBM BPM, there are numerous cache and cache-related settings. If your data indicates a problem with the settings, you can edit the 100Custom.xml files for many of the settings or configure the property in the WebSphere Administrative Console for others and override the problematic default values of the settings. - Monitoring processes and services in the Process Admin Console
To identify performance issues with your process application, view the performance data available in the Process Monitor page of the Process Admin Console. Identify process applications that have bottlenecks, drill into the process application to identify the steps that are expensive, and learn how long it takes to run services.
Getting server usage metrics by using IBM Cloud Product Insights
You can access dashboards for various server usage information for your IBM Business Process Manager instances by using the IBM Cloud Product Insights service.
