DataFlux Data Management Studio 2.5: User Guide

Monitor Pane

As explained in Monitoring Data, the Monitor pane displays exceptions to monitored business rules. The exceptions are generated by data monitoring jobs that are created in Data Management Studio.

A business rule is associated with a task that specifies an action to be taken when an exception to the rule is encountered. This task is selected in a Data Monitoring node in a data job. When the job is run, the selected task is executed. Any exceptions to the rule trigger the specified action, and the triggers are logged to the current repository. These trigger statistics and related statistics appear in the various interfaces that are available from the Monitor pane.

The Monitor pane contains the following elements:

• Summary Tab
• Dashboard Tabs (such as DataFlux Sample - Dashboard, etc. in the previous figure)

Summary Tab

The Summary tab displays data-monitoring statistics for all repositories to which you are connected, if any statistics are available. Data monitoring statistics will be available for a repository only if data monitoring jobs have been created and executed in that repository. Statistics include Total Trigger History, Task Trigger History, and the Triggers per Date graphs, which show a percentage of triggers per records processed. The graph scale is from 0 to 100, representing percent. For example, if you have 11 triggers in 3276 rows, the triggers would represent 0.34% of the records processed. If you mouse over the data point, you will get a tooltip with some helpful information such as "... 11 triggers in 3276 rows."

The Summary tab displays the following information:

• Monitor Views - Displays a list of the repositories to which you are connected. If you click the name of a repository, the Monitor Viewer dialog for that repository will be displayed. The Monitor Viewer provides a detailed, interactive view of the exceptions to monitored business rules. For more information, see Using the Monitor Viewer.

  

• Total Trigger History (Percentage of Rows Processed) - Displays a graph that depicts the total number of triggers expressed as the percentage of rows processed, as shown in the following display:

  

• Task Trigger History (Percentage of Rows Processed) - Displays a graph that depicts the total number of task triggers expressed as the percentage of rows processed. The graph will not show anything until you click the Options button at upper left, select a repository, and then select one or more tasks in that repository to include in the Task Trigger History graph. It is best to select a limited number of tasks, so that the graph will be understandable. In the next figure, one task has been selected (Dashboard_Task_1 in the Monitor Repository.

  

Dashboard Tabs

Each repository to which you are connected has a dashboard tab with a name such as DataFlux Sample - Dashboard, etc. Each repository dashboard contains the following elements:

• Triggers Per Date (Percentage of Rows Processed) (See Note) - Displays a graph that depicts the number of triggers expressed as the percentage of rows processed, as shown in the following display:

  

• Triggers Per Records Processed (Last 90 Days) - Displays a graph that depicts the number of triggers per record processed for the past 90 days, as shown in the following display:

  

• Triggers Per Source (Last 90 Days) - Displays a graph that depicts the number of triggers per source for the past 90 days, as shown in the following display:

  

• Triggers Per User (Last 90 Days) - Displays a graph that depicts the number of triggers per user for the past 90 days, as shown in the following display:

  

Note: The Total Trigger History, Task Trigger History, and the Triggers per Date show a percentage of triggers per records processed. The graph scale is from 0 to 100, representing percent. For example, if you have 11 triggers in 3276 rows, the triggers would represent 0.34% of the records processed. If you mouse over the data point, you will get a tooltip with some helpful information such as "... 11 triggers in 3276 rows."
