PingDirectory

Monitoring key performance indicators by application

PingDirectory server can be configured to track many key performance metrics, such as throughput and response-time, by the client applications requesting them.

This feature is invaluable for measuring whether the identify infrastructure meets all of your service-level agreements (SLA) that have been defined for client applications.

When enabled, the per-application monitoring data:

  • Can be accessed in the cn=monitor backend

  • Can be accessed in the Periodic Stats Logger

  • Can be made available for collection by the Metrics server

For more information on using the Stats Logger, see Profiling server performance using the Stats Logger.

For details on configuring the server to expose metrics that interest you, see the PingDirectory server Configuration section of the PingDataMetrics Server Administration Guide.

Tracked application information is exposed in the PingDataMetrics server by metrics having the application-name dimension. For information on which metrics are available with the application-name dimension, see the documentation under docs/metrics of the PingDataMetrics server.
