Defining which statistics to collect
Edit configuration property settings to define the statistics collected by the server.
The Activities server collects a specific set of statistics by default. We can change what is collected to better suit the needs of the environment. For example, Activities collects statistics on SMTP server performance. If we are not using an SMTP server, we can prevent its performance from being monitored. For a complete list of the statistics collected by Activities by default, see Activities statistics.
To define which statistics are collected by the server:
- Access the Activities configuration file:
./wsadmin.sh -lang jython
execfile("activitiesAdmin.py")
ActivitiesConfigService.checkOutConfig("/tmp","cell_name")
To get cell name...
print AdminControl.getCell()
- From the temporary directory to which you checked out the Activities configuration file, open oa-config.xml in a text editor, and look for the <stat> element block.
- Make any of the following edits:
- To stop collecting data on a specific field, remove the <field> element that represents the value that we are not interested in collecting.
- To change the name of the text file created to store the statistical data, edit the attribute of the <file> element.
- To change the number of versions of results that are maintained from the default value of the 144, edit the <samples> element.
- After making the edits, save and close oa-config.xml.
- After making changes, check configuration file back in during the same wsadmin session in which they were checked out.
