## Introduction

The ITRS Analytics Connection plugin monitors the state of the connection that publishes logs to ITRS Analytics from a Netprobe. It is automatically added to Netprobe and FIX Analyser 2 Netprobe which publishes log data directly to ITRS Analytics. The plugin has two dataviews:

- Summary
- Detail


**Note**


The Publisher plugin creates its own connection to ITRS Analytics and includes a dataview showing metrics for that connection. These metrics are separate from those shown by this plugin.



### Summary

The summary dataview provides general information regarding publishing from the Netprobe to ITRS Analytics.

#### Table legend

The **table cells** display the following data:

| Name | Description |
|-------|-------|
| accessTokenAvailable | Status of access tokens. |
| accessTokenUser | ITRS Analytics user associated with the access token used to connect to ITRS Analytics. 
**Note**

 This is not an application key. Access tokens are short lived tokens used to secure connections. 
 |
| byteRate | Transfer rate in bytes per second. |
| connectionStatus | Shows the connection status. This can be either `Statistics only`, `Idle`, `Ready`, `Connecting`, `Transient Failure`, `Shutdown`, or `No Adapter`. |
| dataEndpoint | ITRS Analytics data access endpoint. |
| dataviewsPublished | Number of dataviews published. |
| dataviewsUnpublished | Number of dataviews unpublished. |
| dataviewsWithErrors | Number of dataview with errors. |
| enabled | The ITRS Analytics connection can be either `Enabled` or `Disabled`. |
| ingestionEndpoint | ITRS Analytics publishing endpoint. |
| messageRate | Transfer rate per queue in messages per second. |
| messagesDroppedPerSample | Average number of messages dropped per sampler. |
| metricsChanged | Number of schemaless metrics initially published as one type (`String`, `Number`, or `DateTime`), which subsequently changed to a different type. |
| metricsDropped | Number of metrics dropped due to type mismatches between data in the Geneos cells and their schema definition of data to publish. |

### Detail dataview

The detail dataview shows separate message statistics for the different types of messages that may be published.

#### Table legend

| Column Name | Description |
|-------|-------|
| name | The message type. Possible values include: - ENTITY ATTRIBUTES
- EVENTS
- LOGS
- METRICS |
| sendState | The current state of the queue for the message type. Possible values include: - SENDING
- BUFFERING (the connection status is not yet "Ready")
- SIMULATING (the connection is set to statistics only mode) |
| deliveryStatus | The delivery status of the last message batch sent. Possible values include: - (blank) (No batch has been sent yet for this message type)
- SUCCEEDED
- RETRYING
- FAILED
- "N/A" (the connection is set to statistics only mode) |
| byteRate | Bytes per second published to ITRS Analytics for this type of message. |
| messageRate | The rate at which messages are sent to ITRS Analytics, measured as the number of messages per second. |
| maxBufferSize | Configured maximum number of messages that can be buffered. |
| messagesInBuffer | Number of messages buffered in the queue for the message type. |
| messagesDroppedPerSample | Number of messages dropped in the last sample. |

### Commands

#### Metrics issues

The Metric Issues command allows the user to either show or clear the list of metric issues categorised under **metricsChanged** and **metricsDropped**.

Using the Show Command will show a list of metrics that have been dropped if run on the **metricsDropped** cell,  or the metrics that have been changed if run on the **metricsChanged** cell.

Running the Clear command on either of the cells clears the lists and sets the count to zero.

**Note**

 The lists are limited to 2000 entries. If the lists are full, no new entries will be added until the issues are fixed and the lists are cleared.
