Monitor Channel

The Monitor channel provides logging system statistics in iManager. When the Monitor Channel object is enabled, each Secure Logging Server object includes the Monitor tab as one of its Logging Server Options.

The Monitor tab provides two statistics pages: Server and System.

The Monitor Server page lists the total number of events logged over the current server uptime and the average number of events logged per second.

NOTE: The number of events logged per second is averaged over a three-second interval.

The Monitor System page lists the IP addresses and descriptions of the clients (Platform Agents) currently logging events to the current Secure Logging Server, the applications logging events to each agent, and the events logged by each agent. These statistics reflect events logged over the life of the server, not the server uptime.

 

Monitor Channel Driver

The Monitor driver, lgdmonitor, is essentially a predefined notification filter; it filters events by Platform Agent and logging application. Event notification is provided through the Monitor tab in the Secure Logging Server object.

Because the Monitor driver functions like a notification filter, all events processed by the Monitor driver are counted as notification events. This significantly impacts the statistics that Monitor provides for notification events.
