Self-health monitoring for Metric Intelligence
Use Event Management self-health monitors to monitor the health of Metric Intelligence infrastructure components and processes, and to alert about potential issues. Self-health monitoring allows you to proactively remediate issues and minimize data loss.
Metric Intelligence is pre-configured to use Event Management self-health monitors to ensure that essential components and processes are functioning properly. If a monitor detects a failure, then the Event Management self-health monitoring system creates an event for the issue. These events are then converted into an Event Management alert or get appended to a previous alert. Metric Intelligence self-health monitors run every 60 seconds.
For example, if an Metric Intelligence MID Server distributed cluster experiences an issue, an event is generated with the status of Major. Then, this event is converted into an alert. Later, when the issue is resolved, a new event is generated with the status of Info and the original alert is closed.
Monitored components and processes
| Component/Process Check | Error Condition |
|---|---|
| Metric Intelligence extension is running properly | Monitor checks the status field of the ecc_agent_ext_context_metric table to detect a state of Error or Warning. |
| Metric Intelligence MID Server distributed cluster is running properly | Monitor checks the status field of the
ecc_agent_cluster table to detect a state of
Error, Segmented, orStopped. Note: For a state of Stopped, an event is
created only if the error_message field is not empty. |
| Metrics are collected by active connectors that are configured for metrics collection | For each connector with the Metrics collection flag set to
true: Monitor checks the status of the last_kpi_status field in the em_connector_instance table to detect a status of Error. |
| Essential Metric Intelligence scheduled jobs are active | Monitor checks the following essential scheduled jobs, to detect if any is
inactive:
