The Real-Time Monitoring Dashboard provides a comprehensive overview of integration logs, enabling users to monitor, analyze, and troubleshoot data processing activities in real-time. It aggregates log data from various integration bridges, offering visual summaries, charts, and a detailed log explorer for efficient debugging and performance insights.

Accessing the Monitoring Dashboard

Access the Real-Time Monitoring Dashboard from the Dashboard page by clicking on the Monitor tile. Logs are ingested and reflected in the dashboard based on the configured Log Rotation Size (as set in the Advanced Settings section of the Summary page of your Integration Bridge). If no custom size is specified, logs will default to reflecting after reaching 500 MB. The minimum allowable value for Log Rotation Size is 20 MB.

Monitoring Dashboard Features

Search Bar:

The Search Bar, located at the top of the dashboard, enables quick keyword-based searching across key log attributes for retrieving relevant entries within the Real-Time Monitoring Dashboard.

Search Bar Features:

Supports keyword searches, exact phrases.
Searches are limited to specific columns: IntegrationBridgeName, MESSAGE, level, and Operation Name.

Filter by Operation Name: Select from a list of available operation names.
Filter by IntegrationBridgeName: Choose specific integration bridges.
Filter by level: Options include INFO, ERROR, WARNING, and SYSTEM.
Filter by Date Range: Use the timestamp field to select a custom start and end date/time.
Filters can be combined for precise analysis and are reset via a clear button.

Visual Summary Cards:

The top row of the dashboard features summary cards displaying key metrics for the current day (based on timestamp), providing an immediate snapshot of system health.

Visual Summary Cards Features:

Error Count: Total logs with level = ERROR, highlighted in red for alerts.
Total Operations: Count of distinct Operation Names executed today.
Active Users: Number of unique users active in the last 24 hours.
Active Bridges: Count of distinct integration bridges in use.
Logs Ingested Today: Total number of logs ingested based on timestamp.
Cards update in real-time with live tailing and are filterable via search or dropdowns.

Example:

If the Error Count card shows a significant number of errors, this indicates a high volume of errors requiring attention.

Charts:

The dashboard includes several interactive charts to visualize log patterns, distributions, and trends over time.

For data visualization best practices, see: Tableau Data Visualization Guide

Calendar Heatmap (Logs by Hours):

This heatmap displays hourly log activity with color intensity representing volume.

Grid layout showing hours (e.g., 12AM, 1AM) with counts (e.g., 166654 at 12AM).
Darker shades indicate higher log volumes.
Filterable by date range and levels.
Real-time updates ensure visibility into recent activity spikes.

Log Explorer:

The Log Explorer is a bottom-panel data table for in-depth log review, with pagination and scrolling for large datasets.

Log Explorer Features:

Columns: timestamp, level, IntegrationBridgeName, Operation Name, UserName, MESSAGE (preview).
MESSAGE column is expandable to view full log details.
Supports export to CSV or Excel for offline analysis.
Toggle between inline dashboard view and a full-page explorer mode.
Real-time live tailing appends new logs automatically.

FAQ

1. What is the Real-Time Monitoring Dashboard?

The Real-Time Monitoring Dashboard provides a real-time overview of integration logs, enabling live monitoring, analysis, and troubleshooting. It aggregates data from all connected Integration Bridges and provides visual charts, summary cards, and a detailed Log Explorer for efficient debugging.

2. How do I access the Real-Time Monitoring Dashboard?

You can access the dashboard from the main Dashboard page by clicking the Monitor tile. Logs appear based on the configured Log Rotation Size defined in the Integration Bridge’s Advanced Settings. If no custom value is set, logs will reflect after reaching 500 MB, with 20 MB being the minimum allowed size.

3. What search capabilities are available in the Monitoring Dashboard?

The Search Bar supports keyword and exact phrase searches across key fields including IntegrationBridgeName, MESSAGE, level, and Operation Name. It is designed for quick filtering of relevant logs but does not search across non-key columns to maintain performance and clarity.

4. How do the dropdown filters help with log analysis?

Dropdown filters allow refinement of dashboard data by selecting specific Operation Names, IntegrationBridgeName values, log levels (INFO, ERROR, WARNING, SYSTEM), and custom date ranges. Filters can be combined for precise analysis and cleared any time for a full reset.

5. What insights do the Visual Summary Cards provide?

The dashboard’s summary cards display daily metrics such as Error Count, Total Operations, Active Users, Active Bridges, and Logs Ingested Today. These cards give immediate visibility into system health and update in real-time with incoming log data.

6. What visualization options are available for analyzing log patterns?

The dashboard includes multiple interactive charts: a Pie Chart for log-level distribution, a Donut Chart for operation breakdowns, a Line Chart to track log volume over time, and a Calendar Heatmap showing hourly activity levels. All charts support live updates, filtering, and tooltips for deeper insight.
