About this task

In Guardium® Insights, check universal connector connectivity and health status in real time or in the past.

Procedure

  • To check universal connector status in real time, select the main menu at the upper left of the page (open this menu by clicking the main menu icon (main menu)) and then click Connections.
  • In the table that appears you can view name, type, data source, connectivity status, and status information for all your connections. You can also use the filter to view UC connections only.
  • The connectivity status options are healthy, unhealthy, or starting up. If a connection is healthy, the status information might also include the most recent traffic that was captured in the universal connector.
  • To monitor administrative actions and traffic of universal connectors over time, select the menu icon>reports>Connection events. Search for and select the Connection events report.
  • In this report, you can view administrative and traffic events that occurred on a connection over time. You can also use the filter to view UC connections only.
  • The connection events report can also be filtered by event type. The event types are:

    ADMIN_CREATE

    ADMIN_UPDATE

    ADMIN_DELETE

    STATUS

    DATA

    ERROR

    DATA events, for instance, describe how many events occurred on a specific database through a specific connection over the last minute. Here is an example of a DATA event message:
