Has anyone done any kind of integration with Dynatrace, which is a JVM transaction monitoring tool? Our organization uses this extensively with our Java and .Net applications and we wanted to know if it is even possible.
A practical guide to using the tools PERFMON and MONLBL.
Introduction
When investigating performance problems, I often use the utilities ^PERFMON and ^%SYS.MONLBL to identify exactly where in the application pieces of code are taking a long time to execute.
APM normally focuses on the activity of the application but gathering information about system usage gives you important background information that helps understand and manage the performance of your application so I am including the IRIS History Monitor in this series.
In this article I will briefly describe how you start the IRIS or Caché History Monitor to build a record of the system level activity to go with the application activity and performance information you gather. I will also give examples of SQL to access the information.
I have Ensemble/Healthshare running in a production environment which is setup with a mirror failover and an arbiter sitting between them.
In the event of a failover we have a number of connections that need stopping/monitoring and starting in a certain order.
Is there a programmatic way we can detect the failover and stop certain services and operations immediately and then start them up again in the required order, checking their connection state before starting the next connection.
A key part of Application Performance Management (APM) is recording the activity and performance of user activity. For many web applications the closest you can get to this is to record the CSP pages or CSP based services being dispatched.

We have a mirrored Ensemble system (110, backup and 210, primary). At one time (14:00) there is a disruption in the production. The messages are not being processed.
Is it possible to dynamically adjust the RetryInterval andFailureTimeout settings in a BPL?
I've got a business process that calls a web service operation to get a session ID from an external system. There is a string property returned in the body of the response that indicate an exception occurred in the external system. I have code in the BPL that examines the property and sets the status property to an error status when that occurs.
Please excuse my ignorance. I am trying to identify what areas would be best to review in the System Dashboard (for Cache 2010.2) for performance issues with the database. It seems to be running slower than usual, but I am trying to find out the best way to go about identifying what the issue is.
The following are captures from the System Dashboard.
Hi I would like to follow any change made in the production IE - date,time, user,production,service/process/operation - name, item changed, value before change, value after change. Is there a way I can get this data & trap the act of change in order to log this data. Thanks Simcha

Since most of our customers moved to Caché 2015.1, some admins became abused with CPUPct warnings (sometimes alerts) in console log without other signs of lacking CPU power. Documentation states that:
Whenever the Windows SNMP Service restarts, the snmpdbg log says the following.
13:08:59 :Attempting initial TCP connection(s) with 1 Cache instances ... 13:08:59 :Get connection with ENSEMBLE on port 1972 13:08:59 :Connection refused on port 1972, check if Cache instance ENSEMBLE is started. 13:08:59 :Cache iscsnmp.dll initialized for 1 configs
Ensemble and all productions are running. I've set up Caché SNMP agent on many other servers in our company and those are working fine. However this one server won't budge.
I know there's a whole chapter on the subject but I would love a super simple video demo or sample configuration or training course. The myriad menu of options and unfamiliar prompts can make it a bit daunting. The challenge is simple. Send an email notification if the license usage exceeds n% LU consumption. Why? A recent software change seemed to be responsible for causing the LU total consumption to reach 100%.
This article assumes that you are familiar with Zabbix and SNMP monitoring, if not, there are some very interesting posts on the Community, especially this one (https://community.intersystems.com/post/creating-custom-snmp-oids) which contains a lot of information on how to configure and request an SNMP Cache server.
This post is dedicated to the task of monitoring a Caché instance using SNMP. Some users of Caché are probably doing it already in some way or another. Monitoring via SNMP has been supported by the standard Caché package for a long time now, but not all the necessary parameters are available “out of the box”. For example, it would be nice to monitor the number of CSP sessions, get detailed information about the use of the license, particular KPI’s of the system being used and such. After reading this article, you will know how to add your parameters to Caché monitoring using SNMP.
We want to monitor an Ensemble Production and send custom email alerts in function of some Rules. For example, if we normally receive 1 message per second, if suddenly we receive 5 or more messages per second, we want to send an email alert. And if tomorrow we don't want to check this again, we want to disable it through Ensemble Business Rules.
Can someone direct me to where in the documentation we can find how consumption may be calculated for global storage?

EDIT: After receiving some responses, it seems I was unclear in my initial inquiry. I am looking to determine our rate of consumption of storage; however, I am having some difficulty in doing that.
My group needs to be able to monitor items / tasks, and let a non-management-portal user see the monitoring. Is it possible to run DeepSee queries on Production items? I feel like I should not be recreating the production environment or the task manager just so that I can query on the items that are running, and on their states (like "successful" or "send email").
Also, I need to log custom events for each task, and I'm running into difficulties with the task manager in this regard; hence the question about using the Production instead, but querying it.
When an error occurs in your application, simply logging it might be enough. But for certain errors, you might want to send a notification to people right away. There are three ways to generate custom email notifications from InterSystems IRIS.
