Verifying the test results
You can examine the results either in the Monitor dashboard space or in the database to verify the correctness of your monitor model logic and that you are capturing the information that you want in the best format. Using the dashboard space for this purpose is typically the easier method.
Before you begin this task, you must have started the test environment server and published the monitor model. For more information about using the test server and the Common Base Event browser, see Prepare the test environment.
When you deployed your monitor model, a preconfigured dashboard was generated for you to use in testing that monitor model.
Procedure
- To verify the test results, in the Servers view, right-click the test server and click Launch > Business Space.
- Click Go to spaces, and select the dashboard named for your monitor model.
For example, if you have a monitor model named ClaimProcessing, and its version timestamp is 2012-04-06 16:49:30, you see a dashboard named ClaimProcessing_20120406164930.
What to do next
After you examine the values of each metric, you might examine a key performance indicator (KPI) to determine whether the monitor model correctly processed the aggregate information.
If you find a problem while testing your monitor model or if you just want to understand how your monitor model gathers information, you can use the debugger that is included with the development toolkit. For additional information, see Debugging monitor models.
The Common Base Event browser is available to help you diagnose problems related to Common Base Events. You can also use the Common Base Event browser to determine whether events were emitted. In the browser, select the All Events group.
