Monitor Viewer
When you run a data monitoring job, the job executes tasks and rules that you created using the Business Rule Manager. Information about these executed tasks and their associated rules is associated with a dashboard in the repository. The DataFlux Monitor Viewer provides a way for you to view the information for dashboard, such as the tasks and rules executed. For more information about data monitoring jobs, see Monitoring Data.
The Monitor Viewer contains the following panes:
These panes match the natural workflow for reviewing dashboards in the Monitor Viewer. Typically, you would filter repositories in the Filter pane to select a dashboard and see the most useful information. Then, you would review the triggered rules table in the Triggered Rules Table pane. Finally, you would drill down into a selected rule from the rules table in the Rule Tabs pane.
Filter Pane
You always access the Monitor Viewer for a selected repository, but you can filter that repository's data in the Filter pane to refine your monitoring process. You should consider using a filter whenever you have several hundred thousand or more records to avoid performance problems.The filters include the Date field and the fields in the following riser buttons:
- General - Enables you to filter data based on the rule and its label, the task and its label,the source, the description, the dashboard, and the dimension. Note that a repository can contain more than one dashboard, so it is important to review the Dashboard field to ensure that you are selecting the one that you need.
- Statistics - Enables you to filter data based on trigger percent, trigger count, and rows processed.
- Run - Enables you to filter data based on the run status and run owner.
- Status - Enables you to filter data based on importance, trigger status, trigger reason, and assigned user.
You can apply and reset your filters with the buttons at the top of the pane. Note that the Date, Dashboard, and Dimension filter values yield the greatest performance improvement because they restrict which data are returned from the repository. The Monitor Viewer applies the other filter values after retrieving the data from the repository, so they have no impact on the data retrieval time.”
Triggered Rules Table Pane
The Triggered Rules pane displays the filtered rules in a table. You can perform the following functions in this table:
- Click Show Columns in the toolbar to review the list of columns for each rule and modify it as needed.
- Select a column and click Show In Groups to group the rules by the selected column.
- Click the Action button and click Export To to export the repository data to a CSV file.
- Click any column to sort by that column.
- Drag any column left or right to reorder the columns.
-
Click the Action button and click Print to print the currently displayed Triggered Rules Table.
Rule Tabs Pane
The Rule Tabs pane enables you to see detailed information about a selected rule from the table in the Triggered Rules pane. The pane contains the following tabs:
- Summary - Displays a detailed summary of data concerning the rule and dashboard.
- Trigger Values - Displays the trigger values for the selected rule. You can print the values and export them to a CSV file.
- Rule Code - Displays the code for the selected rule.
- Status - Enables you to set status indicators for the selected rule. You can also add a note to the rule. You can use this tab to assign users, provide a reason for the trigger, and indicate how important it is. These metrics can be used to help prioritize work for individuals.
- History Graph - Displays a graph that documents the trigger history of the repository data. You can choose to view the percentage of rows processed in a line graph or the rows processed and trigger counts in a bar graph. You can click the Action button to print either graph. Note that the graph aggregates the counts for all executions that occur on the same calendar day into a single data point.
