Cloud Pak for Data Watson Knowledge Catalog Information

Monitor Summary

This monitor will generate the following observations:

  • Number of catalogs in Cloud Pak for Data Watson Knowledge Catalog
  • Number of assets in Cloud Pak for Data Watson Knowledge Catalog per catalog

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.

Administrative Credential Requirements

In order to retrieve the monitor data, the credential of admin user will be used. The default password of admin user is saved in the secret admin-user-details. You could use the below command to query the default password of the admin user..

oc extract secret/admin-user-details --keys=initial_admin_password --to=-

Once the password of the admin user is changed, please also change the password in the secret admin-user-details.

oc set data secret/admin-user-details initial_admin_password=<new password>

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-wkc-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
Cloud Pak for Data Waston Knowledge Catalog Information Catalog Overall CountNumber of catalogs in Cloud Pak for Data Watson Knowledge CataloginfoThe Cloud Pak for Data Waston Knowledge Catalog information are requested.
Cloud Pak for Data Waston Knowledge Catalog Information Asset CountNumber of assets in Cloud Pak for Data Watson Knowledge Catalog per cataloginfoThe Cloud Pak for Data Waston Knowledge Catalog and Asset information are requested.
Overview Events and Alerts

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

Actual Result metrics:

  • cp4d_wkc_info_catalog_overall_count Provides number of catalogs in Cloud Pak for Data Watson Knowledge Catalog
  • cp4d_wkc_info_catalog_asset_count Provides number of assets in Cloud Pak for Data Watson Knowledge Catalog per catalog

Zen Watchdog metrics (used in platform management events)

  • watchdog_cp4dplatformwatsonknowledgecataloginfo_catalog_overall_count
  • watchdog_cp4dplatformwatsonknowledgecataloginfo_catalog_asset_count

Zen Watchdog metrics can have the following values:

  • 2 (info)
  • 1 (warning)
  • 0 (critical)
