Customizing the Displayed Information on the System Health Page

The System Health page displays information about the Performance Manager servers and projects. Per default, detailed information about the execution servers is not displayed, but this information can be turned on by modifying the SccFrontendBootConf.xml file. Likewise, the displayed average measure write time can be divided by the number of project result writer threads to display the real throughput. This may give a better view on your system's actual measure writing performance.

To modify the displayed information on the System Health:

  1. Stop the front-end server.
  2. Open the TMFrontendBootConf.xml file with a text editor. The default path for this file is C:\Program Files (x86)\Silk\Silk Performance Manager <version>/conf/frontendserver on the front-end server.
  3. Locate the SystemHealthShowExecServerDetails XML tag in the Options section of the file. If you set the value to true, detailed information about each execution server will be displayed on the System Health page. If you set the value to false, which is the default, this information will not be displayed.
  4. Locate the SystemHealthDivideMeasureWriteTime XML tag in the Options section of the file. If you set the value to true, the displayed average measure write time is divided by the number of project result writer threads. If you set the value to false, which is the default, the displayed average measure write time is the cumulated measure write time of all project result writer threads. This influences how good your measure writing performance is, from a display perspective. Setting the value to true will display a much better measure writing performance.
  5. Save and close the XML file.
  6. Re-start the front-end server.
