Introduction
In addition to the previous knowledge base article (Health Grid Dashboard (Basic)) we would like to provide you with one example how “sophisticated” the Health Grid could look like.
Example
In this Example we would like to create one Grid in which couples of performance indicators are depicted. So at the end of the day we will end up with a "performance health grid dashboard".
Configuration
To do this, open Live Monitor, then switch to the Health Grid tab and click on the Configure columns and thresholds at the bottom of the screen.
Un-check the Domino Audit and Show Domino Tasks check-boxes and remove manually in addition the Mail columns. So that only the main column called Server remains.
Add – Disk performance
Select the Domino Statistic Sensor, select the statistic Platform.LogicalDisk.1.AvgQueueLen and drag&drop it down to the columns. Depending on your Disk structure add further AvgQueueLength (example: Platform.LogicalDisk.2.AvgQueueLen)
Create a Category and assign the Disk statistics to a category called Disk.
Use shorter column names by simply renaming them.
Add – Transactions
Select the Domino Statistic Sensor, select the following statistics and them to a category called Transaction.
Server.Users
Server.Users.Peak
Server.Trans.PerMinute
Server.Trans.PerMinute.Peak
Use shorter column names by simply renaming them.
Add – FullText Index / NameLookup
Select the Domino Statistic Sensor, select the following statistics and them to a category called FT / NameLookup.
Update.PendingList
Database.NAMELookupCacheMaxSize
Database.NAMELookupCachePool.Used
Use shorter column names by simply renaming them.
Add – BufferPool
Select the Domino Statistic Sensor, select the following statistics and them to a category called Buffer Pool.
Database.Database.BufferPool.Maximum.Megabytes
Database.Database.BufferPool.Peak.Megabytes
Use shorter column names by simply renaming them.
Add – DbCache
Select the Domino Statistic Sensor, select the following statistics and them to a category called DbCache.
Database.DbCache.InitialDbopens
Database.DbCache.OvercrowdingRejections
Use shorter column names by simply renaming them.
Click NEXT
Make sure that you set for some of the statistics the following parameter so that no Warning or Threshold Icon appear in case statistical information could not be found for some reasons.
Click Finish.
Conclusion
The adjusted Health Grid Dashboard looks now similar as depicted in the following picture.
You see now in just one dashboard what Cache settings you likely need to adjust as well how your server is overall performing. (e.g. very high Update.PendingList is a indicator of a poor domino performance)
