The Process Admin Console includes an Instrumentation monitor
to help identify performance bottlenecks in Workflow Server and to
capture instrumentation data that you can use to further analyze any
performance issues.
Before you begin
You must log in to the Process Admin Console.
Procedure
- To access the Instrumentation monitor and display the most
recent data:
- In the side menu of the Process Admin Console, click Monitoring
to list the available monitoring options.
- Click the Instrumentation option.
- Click the Refresh button.
- To automatically refresh the displayed data, select
the time interval that you want from the drop-down menu.
- To reset all values to 0, click the Reset button.
This enables you to monitor performance as data is collected.
- To log instrumentation data to an external .dat file:
- In the side menu of the Process Admin Console, click Monitoring
to list the available monitoring options.
- Click the Instrumentation option.
- Click the Start Logging button.
The Instrumentation monitor displays the path and file
to which the data is saved. The file is created and stored on the
host of the IBM® Cloud Pak for
Business Automation server
that you are currently monitoring.
- Click the Stop Logging button
to end data capture to the log file.
CAUTION:
Logging instrumentation data to an external
.dat file generates a lot of data and impacts both the processor and
memory consumption of the system. Limit the use of logging to investigate
performance issues with the server only.
What to do next
You can use the Process Monitors monitor to drill into the
process application to identify the steps that are expensive, and
learn how long it takes to run services.
