Metrics¶
Reference for the Metrics page of Preferences > Settings...: which activity MetaMiner writes into its metrics storage for the Pulse dashboards.
MetaMiner keeps time-series metrics in an InfluxDB instance it runs on the MetaMiner Server. Pulse dashboards read from it. See Introduction to Pulse.

Fields¶
| Field | Default | What it does | Config key |
|---|---|---|---|
| Write audit events into metrics storage | Off | Writes BusinessObjects audit events into metrics storage for graphical analysis | influx.audit.enabled |
| Write CMS objects activity into metrics storage | Off | Writes CMS object change events into metrics storage | influx.base.objects.enabled |
| Write Webi Reports activity info metrics storage | On | Writes Web Intelligence real-time activity into metrics storage | influx.webi.enabled |
| Write MMS pull metrics into metrics storage | On | Writes pull duration statistics (CMS and MMDB) into metrics storage | influx.mms.reporting.enabled |
| Poll period for remote metrics agent: | 5 | Seconds. Remote metrics agents that report to this server adjust their reporting interval to this value. | remote.metrics.agent.poll.period |
Metrics storage must be running
These options have an effect only while InfluxDB is enabled on the Advanced page (InfluxDB Enabled, on by default).
Storage growth
Audit and CMS object events can be numerous. Turn them on only if you use the matching dashboards, and watch disk space on the MetaMiner Server.
