Monitoring services

Use the Service Monitor widget to monitor the throughput and response times for service operations exposed or invoked by a running module that is deployed to the server or cluster configured for use with the widget.

Before you begin

  • Ensure service monitoring is configured and enabled. By default, service monitoring is enabled for servers or clusters created as part of deployment environment and stand-alone server profiles. If you have created a new server with the administrative console, however, you must configure and enable the service monitor before you can use the Service Monitor widget.
  • If you are using an external HTTP server to access Business space, make sure to configure the HTTP server to allow encoded slashes. Refer to the HTTP server documentation for details.

Required security role for this task: If administrative security is enabled, you must be logged in with an administrative role to perform this task.
