Infrastructure
Overview of Snaplexes and the Infrastructure and Metrics pages in Monitor
The Infrastructure page displays the status and resource usage for Snaplexes and their nodes through three views accessible via the view selector:
- Graphs: Visual display of resource usage for Snaplexes and nodes
- Snaplexes: Table view of Snaplex-level information
- Nodes: Table view of individual node details
You can select a time period for the data, up to the last 45 days.
Snaplex services and nodes
Snaplexes execute pipelines and can be one of the following types:
- Cloudplex: Provisioned and managed by SnapLogic on your behalf.
- Groundplex: Deployed and managed by your organization on a cloud or local network.
- AutoSync Snaplex: A Cloudplex managed by SnapLogic for customers who have purchased AutoSync.
A Snaplex is usually deployed as multiple instances. Each service runs on a different physical host or virtual machine. The documentation refers to the Snaplex service and the host on which it runs as a node. The Java Component Container (JCC), also known as an execution node, is the regular Snaplex service. A FeedMaster is a special node that distributes Ultra Tasks requests to execution nodes. It queues the overflow until the execution nodes are ready to handle them.
The services in a Snaplex communicate with each other periodically and generate alerts when they
detect issues. For example, a communication failure causes an Unable to reach Snaplex
neighbor alert. You can view Snaplex alerts on the Monitor Alert history page or the Snaplex details Alerts
tab.
Snaplex nodes ping the control plane with a heartbeat every 20 seconds. When a node fails to contact the control plane for 15 minutes, it's considered inactive.
Comparison of the Infrastructure and Metrics pages
The Infrastructure page displays information about the Snaplex services and the hosts on which they run. The Metrics page contains more detailed graphs for a single node. They both show information about infrastructure usage, resource consumption, and system health. The table below summarizes the differences.
