Dynamic Entities Health

Introduction

The Dynamic Entities Health plug-in monitors the performance of Collection Agent and Netprobe communication. It tracks the state of all metric received by a probe from the Collection Agent, and all Dynamic Entities associated with a probe.

View

The plug-in produces two dataviews. These provide you with an overview of the sampling process.

Entities

The entities section shows the status of all Dynamic Entities created by the Netprobe.

  • No Mapping — no mapping exists for this metric.
  • Bad Mapping — this metric is used by a mapping that would cause an error. For example, a mapping that may create an entity with a empty name.
  • Entity Rejected — this metric is associated with a rejected entity.
  • Sampler Rejected — this metric is associated with a rejected sampler.
  • Cell clash — this metric is associated with a cell that is already in use.
