# PingAccess Monitoring Guide

PingAccess provides a range of monitoring options, from simple heartbeat options for checking responsiveness to transaction response-time logging and resource-utilization metrics. These metrics can help you gain insight into the health and performance of your PingAccess deployment.

To help you monitor the performance of a PingAccess deployment, this guide provides:

* Suggestions for key performance metrics to monitor and means by which to monitor them

* Recommendations about resource-utilization thresholds and patterns

* Monitoring options, including logs that can be used to create Splunk dashboards

The features documented here are affected by the settings in the configuration file. For more information, see the [Configuration file reference](../reference_guides/pa_config_file_ref.html).
