In addition to being a display area for system messages, the System Log is also a true 'system input console'. Every detail of the systems activities are recorded in the system log file and displayed here, regardless of command source, i.e., menu / mouse, keyboard, attached client or from the remote ECOMM utility. All commands are coded for quick reference in the system documentation as well as color coded for easy visual reference on-screen.

The screen shot below of the System Log shows several of the many pieces of performance data available from Eden Server. Full control over the logging mechanism is available through Eden Server's System Preferences notebook.

The Network Monitor window provides information on Eden Servers use of your TCP/IP network resources.

The 'Graph' page of this window gives a complete, quick visual indication of network performance. Each of the graph's shown are sliding scales that provide: a) Peak, b) current and c) average indicators for their respective displays.

The 'Details' page provides additional information including packet size, error data and other important information in a text format display.

Also displayed on the Network Monitor window are the 'Users' and 'Firewall'. Both these pages provide current client connection and security information. All display information is real-time, updated once per second.

The Application Monitor is a notebook type window consisting of 6 tabs, one for each of the 5 CICS regions plus a sixth tab showing information on each of the 10 batch process ID areas controlled by the Eden Server® Background Job Manager. Each of the CICS region tab's show the particular region name, color coded to reference the status of the application - starting, running, stopped, etc.

Complete operating information for each region is displayed in real time, once per second. The displayed information is designed to provide a quick overview of both a regions activities, past and present as well as several indicators of your applications overall health.

The Background tab provides details on each of the up to 10 batch jobs that the Eden Server® is currently running. For each active job information is displayed regarding job step, executable program in use and CPU time among others.

The Resource Monitor Window

The Resource Monitor shows server hardware information including information on CPU type, count and usage as well as RAM information. Also shown are figures relating to Eden Server internal resource usage including the number of threads and request buffer areas in use.

As can be seen from the screen shots of Eden Server, the performance and operating information available (well over 100 items in all) have been designed to allow for both quick and accurate as well as in depth and complete analysis of those aspects of your system that affect performance and availability.
