Monitoring Unwired Platform

Configure settings to audit the performance and availability of server and application environments.

1. Setting up a monitoring configuration. A monitoring configuration sets the server behavior for writing data to database, automatic purge, and data source where the monitoring data is stored.
   A default configuration is created for you, however you will likely want to customize this configuration for your environment. By default, monitoring data is flushed every 5 minutes. In development and debugging scenarios, you may need to set the flush behavior to be immediate. Set the Number of rows and Batch size properties to a low number. You can also disable flush, which results in immediately persisting changes to monitoring database. If you are setting up immediate persistence in a production environment, you may experience degraded performance. Use persistence with caution.
2. Creating a monitoring profile. A monitoring profile defines one or more domains and packages that need to be monitored.
   You can either use the default profile to capture monitoring data for all packages in all domains or create specific profiles as required. Otherwise, disable the default profile or modify it as needed.
3. Reviewing the captured data. An administrator can review monitoring data (current, historical, and performance statistics) from Sybase Control Center.
   Use the monitoring tabs to filter the data by domain, package, and time range. You can also export the data into a CSV or XML file and then use any available reporting or spreadsheet tool to analyze the data.

• Monitoring Profiles
  Monitoring profiles specify a monitoring schedule for a particular group of packages. These profiles let administrators collect granular data on which to base domain maintenance and configuration decisions.
• Planning for System Monitoring
  Planning Unwired Platform performance monitoring requires performance objectives, benchmarks based on those objectives, and plans for scaling your production environment. Do this before you create your monitoring profile.
• Creating and Enabling a Monitoring Profile
  Specify a monitoring schedule for a group of packages.
• Setting a Custom Monitoring Schedule
  Customize the monitoring schedule for packages within a monitoring profile in Sybase Control Center. Setting a custom schedule is the most flexible option; monitoring information is provided according to the time frame you specify.
• Configuring Monitoring Performance Properties
  Configure auto-purge, flush threshold, and flush batch size settings to determine how long monitoring data is retained, and set a monitoring database to configure where data is stored.
• Monitoring Usage
  Monitoring information reflects current and historical activity, and general performance during a specified time period.
