Monitor Event Processing dialog box

Monitor enables you to monitor event processing for a dataset.

Monitor will not show detailed information about all events that have been processed in the past.

The main purpose of the monitor function is to check whether the server is operating and what it is doing.

You can monitor processing for multiple Workgroup Servers.

  1. Expand Datasets
  2. Right-click a dataset and from the Event Processing menu, select Monitor.

    The Monitor Event Processing dialog box appears with the current event processing data.

    • Refresh every - refresh rate for the data
    • Workgroup column - Workgroup Server
    • Processor column - processor on the Workgroup Server
    • Status column - the status of the current process
    • Queued column - number of queued events waiting for server processing
    • Processed column - number of processed events
    • Errors column - number of event errors
    • Timer Events column - number of events that occur because they were set to occur at a particular time, for example when a record disposition has changed
    • Timer Errors column - number of time based event errors
    • Last Error Event Details column - not showing by default.

      These events are the same that have been activated in the Configuring event processing dialog box, for example, word indexing, document content indexing, audit logs, mail notifications, Schedule Event triggers and user defined.

      NOTE: Each message/transaction may consist of multiple events.

Below the list box area, the monitor shows:

  • Number of events that are assigned to invalid workgroups
  • Number of events that are assigned to processes not configured
  • Number of events that require conversion to new schema

When the monitor shows unallocated events in this list, the Repair button becomes available.

Click it for Content Manager Enterprise Studio to attempt a repair of the events so they can be processed.

You will see a message whether the repair was successful.

NOTE: The monitor does not show events that have been deactivated.

  1. Right-click a process for the commands:
    • Reload - refreshes the data on screen
    • Filter - displays the Select Items to Monitor dialog box.

      It enables you to filter the events you want to monitor according to Workgroup Servers and event processors.

    • Reassign Events - to transfer queued events to another Workgroup Server.

      Displays the Select the Workgroup To Transfer Events To dialog box.

      Select the Workgroup Server to transfer the events to and click OK.

    • Redistribute Events - to redistribute events to Workgroup Server(s).

      Displays the Redistribute Activity dialog box. Tag the Workgroup Server(s) to redistribute the events to and click OK. The events gets distributed across all the tagged Workgroup Server(s).

      This task is available for all the events except for render events and there has to be more than one Workgroup Server configured for that event processor.

    • Resume - to resume processing after the event processor stopped due to an unforeseen error, like the computer running out of disk space.

      When that happens, an error message appears and the event processor status displays an error.

      Use Resume to resume the processor when you have fixed the problem.

    • Remove Events - to remove events that are queued up but not yet processed. This can be useful if there are events blocking the event processor from running.
