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.

• To access the Instrumentation monitor and display the most recent data:
  1. In the Server Admin area of the Process Admin Console, click the indicator next to Monitoring to list the available monitoring options.
  2. Click the Instrumentation option.
  3. Click the Refresh button.
  4. To automatically refresh the displayed data, select the time interval that you want from the drop-down menu.
  5. 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:
  1. In the Server Admin area of the Process Admin Console, click the indicator next to Monitoring to list the available monitoring options.
  2. Click the Instrumentation option.
  3. 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® Business Process Manager server that you are currently monitoring.
  4. 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.
