Metrics

Snaplex nodes emit metrics every 10 seconds. Graphs on the Metrics page show downsampled results, with the granularity depending on the selected time period. If a node exceeds a performance threshold, it creates an alert that you can view in the Monitor Alert history page. You can also configure notifications to receive a Slack or email message when an alert occurs. The SnapLogic Platform sends one message each time the performance crosses above the threshold.

Click Metrics in the Monitor navigation menu and select a Snaplex node, or for a Snaplex with multiple execution or FeedMaster nodes, all execution nodes, or all Feedmaster nodes. The following example shows the dropdown menu for a Snaplex with multiple execution nodes:



Use the graphs to:

  • Analyze the behavior of a Snaplex node, all execution nodes, or all FeedMaster nodes.
  • Improve task scheduling by finding under- and over-utilized time periods.
  • Troubleshoot performance issues by identifying usage spikes.
  • View trends and individual data points.
  • Zoom in on charts to focus on a shorter time period.
  • Expand a chart to determine which pipelines ran at a specific time and to view the execution details.
  • Review Snap statistics, pipeline logs, and pipeline parameters.
  • Download files for:
    • Graph values in JSON format
    • Pipeline logs in JSON format
    • Runtime details in CSV format
Important: Any timestamps in the downloaded files represent Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), not the local time.

Hover over plot to view individual data points on the axis

The scale of charts depends on the time period you select:

  • For seven days or less, each data point represents the average value of that metric in one-minute intervals.
  • For more than seven days, each data point represents the average value of that metric over fifteen-minute intervals.

The following table describes the actions available from the Metrics page toolbar, the graph in the default layout, and an expanded graph:
