Chapter 5 System Monitoring
Recommended Monitoring Schedule
tail –f /arroyo/log/protocoltiming.<date> | grep "Capacity Disk:"
The number returned indicates the percentage of the disk space available on this server. If the
number is 5 or lower, then steps need to be taken to increase storage space by adding more Vaults,
replacing drives with higher capacity drives, or removing unused content.
2. Check the /home/isa/ContentStore/server/ContentStore.log for ingest errors on each Vault. The
master Vault has an additional log.
Monitoring Tasks for Streamers
In addition to the weekly monitoring tasks for both the Vaults and Streamers, the Streamers can also be
monitored in the following ways:
1. In an ISA environment, look for any errors in the /Streaming/lscp_server/LSCPService.log on the
primary Control server, and /Streaming/master/StreamService.log on the primary Setup server.
2. Look at the streaming log.
tail -f /arroyo/log/streamevent.log.<date>
Monthly Tasks
The monthly monitoring tasks consist of the following:
1. Choose Monitor > System Level > System Snapshot and check that the “Disk Available” amount
meets the requirements for the expected movie storage in the next three to six months.
2. Run the reports for the last month that are suitable for your requirements and save them as
comma-separated value (CSV) files.
3. Using the bandwidth and streaming reports, check that the CDS is not exceeding required usage per
service area.
4. Run a quick security check.
a. Ensure that the CDSM changes can be attributed to individual users and not to a generic admin
account.
b. Reset CDSM passwords if necessary.
c. Reset Linux passwords if necessary.
d. Check that access policies and firewalls are still enforced.
Other Tasks
If you have access to an anything on demand (XOD) application, do the following:
1. Check the inspect-live log for excessive errors.
2. Check the inspect-live log for excessive communication times with the BMS or CDS.
