Container Health Monitoring using Admin Console

Monitor the real‑time status and performance of your containers directly from the Admin Console user interface.

Introduction

Container health can be monitored in two ways by using the:

• System Health Panel: The System Health Panel is a feature of the core platform and is available to all containers, including Policy Manager, Community Manager, and Envision.
• Monitoring Panel: The Monitoring Panel provides visual health statistics in the UI. Because these statistics are available only in the GUI, you cannot export or automate them for operational use.

Both panels display the same health statistics, so you can track any standard OSGi Monitorable instance in the system, including but not limited to:

• Outgoing HTTP connection pool statistics
• Incoming HTTP thread pools
• Database connection pools
• Container memory usage
• Usage monitoring queues
• JMS connections
• Container configuration state
• Container lifecycle

Monitoring Panel

The Admin Monitoring Tool plug‑in provides real‑time information about the container state and is useful during the debugging of issues when the log files do not provide enough detail. The plug‑in adds a Monitoring tab to the Administration Console.

The tool displays container data such as:

• Incoming HTTP connections (com.soa.transport.httpclient)
• Database thread pool (com.soa.database.config.<db-config-id>-mon)
• Active and idle Policy Manager processes (com.soa.framework)
• Container memory usage (com.soa.vmstats)
• Outgoing HTTP connections (com.soa.transport.jetty)
• Monitoring queues (com.soa.usage)
• JMS connections (com.soa.transport.jms)
