Details
The extension comes with two pre-defined dashboards containing the following sections:
- Extensions health
- Extension configuration overview - the honeycomb graph presents the percentage of error states for all configurations per extension for a given timeframe. All the configuration states except for
OKandIDLEare classified as errors. Most common errors shows the most common error states. You can find detailed information about the latest error using the Configuration log events section. - Extension Execution Controller errors - detailed information about issues detected in EEC
- Extension Resource Consumption -the amount of CPU and memory consumed by all Extensions 2.0 framework processes on the host.
- Extension configuration overview - the honeycomb graph presents the percentage of error states for all configurations per extension for a given timeframe. All the configuration states except for
- Extensions usage - a detailed overview of data points created by extensions with device breakdown.
Note: After creating the monitoring configuration for chosen extension, in the configurations table there will be showing a magnifying glass (look at the last screenshot) that enables go to the Unified Analysis screen for this monitoring configuration.
