Metrics is data that is gathered from an agent. Typically, an agent is an application server, such as:
For example, some possible metrics are:
Old Metrics (aging)
By default, metric aging is turned on. Setting this property to "false" or removing this property from the IntroscopeAgent.profile file will disable metric aging.
introscope.agent.metricAging.turnOn=true
The heartbeat interval defines how many seconds elapse between polling for metrics that have aged.
introscope.agent.metricAging.heartbeatInterval=86400
Number of time slices is the amount of time, in seconds, that has elapsed after a metric was last reported. Number of time slices is used in conjunction with other metric aging configurations to determine when a metric is eligible to be aged out.
introscope.agent.metricAging.numberTimeslices=180000
Logs
In the IntroscopeAgent.profile file, there are two main agent log files, autoprobe.log and IntroscopeAgent.log.
introscope.autoprobe.logfile=/path/to/autoprobe.log
log4j.appender.logfile.File=/path/to/IntroscopeAgent.log
