Monitoring the Client Listeners from the Monitoring Console

A listener is an application that requests data from the Archer Configuration service. This tab contains information about any clients that read configuration data from the Archer Configuration service. The displayed details include the server name, client name, last notification, and last configuration update.

You can sort columns in the table in the following ways:

  • Alphabetically in ascending or descending order (from A to Z or Z to A).
  • Numerically from highest to lowest or lowest to highest.

Important: Deleting a listener helps to determine the frequency of requests to the configuration service. It also helps to assess the communication state of a configuration client. This action deletes the connection to the monitoring console for the listener. If the listener has more than one connection, it is possible that the listener will not be completely removed from the console.

Clear all results

Perform this process only before a system upgrade.

  1. On the Monitoring Console tab, select Clear All.
  2. Click Yes.

Clear the cache

Use caution when clearing the cache. Clearing the client cache re-establishes the database connection, terminates operations in progress even though they are not complete, and updates the configuration of all instances associated with the client.

  1. On the Monitoring Console tab, select the Eraser icon in the row corresponding to the cache that you want to clear.
  2. Click Yes.

Delete the client listener

If the listener has more than one connection, it is possible that the listener will not be completely removed from the monitoring console. In this case, on the Monitoring Console tab, select the Trash icon in the row corresponding to the listener that you want to delete.

Refresh the results in the monitoring console display

On the Monitoring Console tab, click Refresh.

Sort the listener activity in the monitor console

Click any column heading to reverse the order in which the results appear.

  • If the arrow is pointing up, the highest number or first result alphabetically appears first.
  • If the arrow is pointing down, the lowest number or last result alphabetically appears first.
