How to monitor the health of the Cloud Link Service
NetWitness Platform enables you to visualize the health of the Cloud Link Service similar to other NetWitness Platform services deployed in your environment. It helps you troubleshoot the problematic spikes, identify high resource usage, and gives a deep visibility into the source of problems before the service goes down.
Monitoring the health of the Cloud Link Service at all times enables you to keep track of the following parameters:
- Status of all the Cloud Link Services in your deployment (offline and online)
- For each Cloud Link Service, the sessions aggregation rate, sessions behind, and sessions collected
- Status of the uploads such as the count of sessions uploaded, the rate at which upload took place, and outstanding sessions to be uploaded
- CPU and memory usage of each service.
Prerequisites
