Monitoring Applications

The Application Monitor plug-in to SAS Management Console enables you to monitor the performance and activities of the various parts of a running application.

Before using the Application Monitor, you must first use the Logging Service that is supplied with the SAS Foundation Services installation package to code your applications to generate monitoring information. Then, you must configure the Logging Service in the Foundation Services Manager plug-in to SAS Management Console. You will then be able to monitor all of your applications' pertinent activities on demand from the Application Monitor.

In order to display monitor output using the Application Monitor, you will need to perform the following tasks:

1. Code your application using the Logging Service of SAS Foundation Services. For more information about the Logging Service provided by SAS Foundation Services, see Logging Service in the SAS Integration Technologies: Developer's Guide.
2. Configure the Logging Service in the Foundation Services Manager to provide monitoring data. For more information about configuring the Logging Service, see the online Help for the Foundation Services Manager plug-in to SAS Management Console.
3. Add and display one or more monitors to the Application Monitor. For more information, see the online Help for the Application Monitor plug-in to SAS Management Console.
4. Edit monitor properties to customize how your output is displayed. For more information, see the online Help for the Application Monitor plug-in to SAS Management Console.
