You can use two types of event counters to measure the
frequency and duration of tasks on your IBM® Content
Navigator server. You can use
this information to monitor and tune your server or database accordingly.
The event counters for
IBM Content
Navigator are categorized into
two groups in
IBM Content
Navigator:
- Event counters for Remote Procedure Call requests
- Event counters for common document-centric tasks
Event counters for Remote Procedure Call
Requests
These event counters measure the frequency and
duration of incoming action requests to the IBM Content
Navigator server. An action request
is sent from a client when it asks the IBM Content
Navigator server to perform some
task on behalf of a user. A set of counters is created for each type
of request the first time that it is received by the IBM Content
Navigator server; then, the containers
are cached. The IBM Content
Navigator server
looks for patterns in each request and handles them accordingly.
Event counters for common document-centric
requests
These event counters monitor tasks that are commonly
performed by users and organize those tasks by repository. The system
dashboard displays these counters under the
USER node.

The Remote Procedure Call counters measure from when a request
is first received to when the request is almost complete. The
USER counters
are at a lower level in the code specific to that action. Because
these two types of counters are measuring from different points of
the code, the durations that are captured for the two types of events
are not the same.
