Performance Log Settings

Activate performance logging

 The monitoring of the UMS Server and, if available, the UMS Load Balancer is started. The monitoring provides statistical data and information on the methods called internally and their parameters, e.g. number of calls, total time execution, etc. The collected data are to be analyzed by IGEL Support.
For the proper data collection: wait for 3 minutes after enabling the performance logging and then you can either perform normal operations or start the actions you want to monitor. After stopping the monitoring, wait for 5 minutes to allow the system to collect all data. 

Always consult IGEL Support before activating performance logging. The collected data can be sent to IGEL Support via UMS Console > Help > Save support information

 The monitoring is disabled. (Default)
In the case of High Availability installation: when you deactivate performance logging, check that a semaphore file [Installation directory]/umsbroker/etc/conf/statistics.lck, which is created by the UMS Load Balancer upon monitoring startup, is deleted.
