WebSphere Commerce deployment checklist: Site Monitoring
Are the system administrators aware of how to tell if the site is working well or if the site is experiencing problems?
- Ensure that system administrators know which logs to look at for errors and which tools to use to monitor performance. For example, the Tivoli Performance Viewer, Cache Monitor, WAS log viewers
Is there a plan to monitor resource utilization?
- What are the acceptable limits to the resources and at what level should someone be notified?
As traffic increases, is the site's expected breaking point known?
- Through performance, stress, and load tests, you should understand how the site will become constrained as site traffic increases.
Are the right Application Server logs turned on?
- Ensure that the right granularity of information is being tracked to aid problem determination
- Ensure that the logs are archived and not overwritten so that they can be used for problem determination
Is the right level of WebSphere Commerce logging turned on?
