Cloud Pak for Data Cognos Analytic Connections Information

Monitor Summary

This monitor will generate the following observations:

  • Count of Cloud Pak for Data Cognos Analytic Connections

Monitor Requirements

In order for Watson Studio Job Information to be available, CCS (Common Core Services) must be available on the Cloud Pak for Data instance. Catridges like Watson Studio and Watson Machine Learning automatically install CCS as part of their dependencies. If CCS is not available, no watson studio job information is available.

Deployment of the monitor

This monitor can be deployed using the IBM Cloud Pak Deployer or manually deployed using oc commands:

Monitor Source

Source folder containing the script can be found here (cp4d-cognos-connections-info).

Generated observations

Once the monitor is deployed, the following observations are available in IBM Cloud Pak for Data Metrics:

Using the IBM Cloud Pak for Data Platform Management Events:

https://<CP4D-BASE-URL>/zen/#/platformManagement/events

On the Platform Management Events page the following entries are added:

EventEvent TypePossible valuesDescription

Using the IBM Cloud Pak for Data Prometheus endpoint

https://<CP4D-BASE-URL>/zen/metrics

It will generate 2 types of metrics:

  • Actual Result metrics
    These metrics contain the observed values
  • Zen Watchdog metrics
    These metrics are used by the Cloud Pak for Data Zen Watchdog to monitor the state and trigger notifications
