Controller Metering Framework
The controller includes a metering framework that internal components and installed applications
may use to collect various types of data. (Data can be persisted on the controller from sources
external to the controller.) Any metric created with the framework may optionally be persisted
over time or directed to the controller JMX facility for viewing. Data persisted over time can be
viewed using the controller REST API, while data sent to JMX can be viewed using JConsole or
another JMX client. The MetricManagerComponent permits configuring certain aspects of the
metering framework operation, such as how long the controller should retain persisted data, at
what time of day persisted data that is too old should be trimmed, and how often persisted metric
values should be saved to disk. (This value can be overridden for any metric when the metric is
created).
Audit Log
The Audit Log is available through both the controller GUI and the REST API, and records events
related to activities, operations, and configuration changes initiated by an authorized user. This
includes activities such as:
• Installing an application (or starting, stopping, uninstalling an application)
• Modification to a components configuration
• Installing a license
• Forming a controller team
