Motadata Health

It provides instant summary of Motadata Health Status. Click on Motadata Health icon and see detailed information. Information will be displayed along with below tabs:

Prerequisite: Motadata system password should be set in Admin > Global Settings > Motadata System Password.

• Motadata The Motadata Health tab shows health status of Motadata server under different filters. If you have Remote Polling Engine (RPE) installed, you’ll see a similar tab of RPE health. To see the history of any information, click on any value and system will show you it’s graph with historical records. You can use the date range to see information of a particular duration. The filters under which Motadata’s health is displayed are:

  • High level view showing the count of different resources used by Motadata.
  • Upgrade Status
  • Core Process Statistics
  • Message Queue Statistics
  • Core Engine Statistics
  • Job Execution Status
  • Monitors (Polling Issue)

• Error Log: List of errors encountered by Motadata while monitoring your network. Please note that the issues here are on Motadata side and not your network side.

• Data Store: List of information related to Motadata’s database storage.

• Live Sessions: List of devices on which Motadata’s GUI component is currently active.

• Motadata Component Versions: List of components and their versions that are used by your Motadata system.

• Actions: You can schedule and export the collection of thread dumps and log files.

  Export: This option enables you to export the log files and thread dumps. However, first you need to create an Export Scheduler which will collect the data in the Motadata Health folder. Once the scheduler runs and the data is fetched, you can export it. If the Export option is clicked without any schedule, a blank folder will be downloaded.

  note

  • The log folder must remain under 1 GB.
  • The scheduler will not run if the Motadata partition's disk usage exceeds 70%.
  • The log file copy command has a 1-minute timeout. If it exceeds this time, not all log files may be copied.
  • There is a loophole where the master can have more than six zip files for any RPE, exceeding the limit.
  • After the first service restart, health statistics may not be generated immediately due to a delay in the health inspection job, potentially delaying the Motadata health statistics CSV file.

  

  Schedule

  To create a schedule,

  1. Click Actions and select the Schedule option. A popup appears.
  2. On the Export Scheduler popup, select the Schedule Start and End Date.
  3. Select when you want to repeat the job. The options are: Daily and Every 2 Hours.
  4. Once done, click Create. Next time, when the scheduler runs, the motadata health details will be collected and stored.

  

  5. Now, you can export the data. On clicking export, a zip file containing log files, executable thread dumps, and server health statistics will be created in the second-level Motadata folder.
