Extended Browser Interface Checks

Although the two are not directly coupled, user interface performance is related to CPU health. Therefore, it makes sense to check browser interface performance when verifying whether or not the CPU is healthy. To check browser interface performance, measure the first time and reload times for the following views:

•

•

•

•

Administration Home

•

•

•

You should perform these tests in order to detect any known bottlenecks.

Possible Actions

•

Remove other processes from the system.

•

Reconfigure the virtual image to have access to more resources.

•

Move Foglight to a more powerful machine.

•

Configure the operating system to allow Foglight® to have access to all available CPUs.

Is the Database too Slow?

A slow database slows down database queries. This in turn slows down metric queries from the browser interface.

The Database is Healthy if ...

•

The number of JDBC connections available is close to the maximum. This means that queries are not getting stuck waiting for the database to return.

•

The CPU utilization on the database machine is substantial, but not greater than 90 percent on average, indicating a non-blocked system that has enough resources available.

•

The browser interface is performing well on metric queries. This can be tested with any dashboard that graphs a metric.
