(DI-2305) Collector for monitoring transmissions

The collector for monitoring failed transmission is named: /DVD/MON_CL_COL_SEND_TRANSMIT.

By default, this collector collects KPIs for transmissions in various states and has a customizable input table where the user can filter which transmissions he wants to monitor. To secure the best performance, this collector collects all transmissions either since the last collector run or at a maximum of one hour retrospectively however it can be customized via parameters.

Parameters

This collector has the following parameters:

Parameter name

Default Value

Description

Parameter name

Default Value

Description

MINUTES_BACK

60

If it is the initial collector run or the last collector run was more than an hour ago, only transmissions one hour back will be collected retrospectively. This can be changed by tuning this parameter

MAX_PROCESS_TO_DETAIL

50

Defines the limit of how many collected transmissions will be propagated to the detail table to avoid performance issues. Erroneous transmissions are prioritized. This only applies to default processing and user-defined inputs are not limited by this. Also, this parameter only limits detail table output, KPI counts are not affected.

Default KPIs

By default, this collector includes these predefined KPIs:

KPI name

Description

Unit

Detail Table

KPI name

Description

Detail Table

SDTR_ERROR_CNT

Number of all transmissions in error

Count

Yes

SDTR_TRANSMT_CNT

Number of successfully transmitted mail requests

Count

Yes

SDTR_WAITING_CNT

Number of waiting transmissions

Count

Yes

NOTE: All standard KPIs have the prefix SDTR_*

Input table

The KPIs may be defined in the input table /DVD/MON_SDTRI1. By default, standard KPIs (with the prefix SDTR_*) are predefined in the input table. Users can monitor additional or more specific transmissions by creating new KPI and input table rows:

Technical name

Description

KPI

KPI name

Name of KPI under which count of matched transmissions is reported to CrystalBridge Monitoring cockpit. KPI needs to be created first - check the note under this table

RULE_ID

KPI Rule Number

Part of the key of the table. It may be freely specified

STATUS

Status of the sent object

Specify selected transmissions by status (ERROR/SEND/WAITING). The field offers F4 help.

METHOD

Transmission method code

For example INT for (via Internet). It can be left empty to match all

SENDER

Sender name

Transmission can be filtered by sender name. Leave blank to match any. This field supports wildcards.

RECIPIENT

Recipient

SUBJECT

Document title

Document title. For example mail title. Leave blank to match any.

ADD_TO_DETAIL

Add relevant records to details

True/false flag to determine if transmissions selected by this input table row should be added to the detail table.

If you wish to monitor custom transmission, you must define a new custom KPI in the CrystalBridge Monitoring cockpit before assigning it to the input table.

More information can be found in the chapter How to Create a Custom KPI through a Collector with a Custom KPI.

KPI value is the number of occurrences of specified transmission details defined through the input table.

Detail table

The collector provides also a detailed output of KPIs in a detail table. The detail table Transmissions details - /DVD/MON_SDTRD1 is limited by a parameter (see parameters section). It contains the following fields:

Technical name

Description

Technical name

Description

KPI

Name of KPI from input table assigned to this detail

SID

System ID

SERVER

Server name

MESSAGE_NUMBER

Message number used in transmission

MSGTXT

Text of the message

RECIPIENT

Recipient of transmission

SENDER

Sender

SEND_DATE

Date of transmission

SEND_METHOD

Transmission method code

SEND_TIME

Time of transmission

STATUS
