Sterling Integrator – Lite Datapoints
Maximo – Lite Datapoints

Introduction 

The IANN Monitor Lite version delivers core system and application monitoring functionalities from the full IANN Monitor suite, optimized for minimal resource usage. 
It focuses on essential datapoints to provide reliable visibility into system health, network performance, application status, and critical infrastructure metrics.  

This Lite release includes tailored datapoints for Sterling Integrator, covering critical server, adapter, and database health parameters. It also provides a focused monitoring set for Maximo, enabling efficient oversight of nodes, namespaces, applications, and SSL health without full-scale resource consumption.

Sterling Integrator – Lite Datapoints

  1. CPU  
    Monitors the percentage of CPU usage across all Sterling nodes to ensure processors are not overutilized, preventing performance degradation. 
  1. RAM  
    Tracks memory utilization across all nodes, enabling proactive detection of memory shortages that could lead to slowdowns or outages. 
  1. Disk  
    Observes disk usage and capacity across all nodes, helping to prevent service disruption due to full disks. 
  1. Network  
    Monitors network bandwidth usage, packet transfers, and connectivity health between Sterling nodes and connected systems. 
  1. Server Status  
    Continuously verifies whether Sterling application servers are active and operational, triggering alerts on downtime. 
  1. URL/Application Status (All Sterling Applications) 
    Checks the availability and responsiveness of all Sterling applications via HTTP/S endpoints to ensure end-user accessibility. 
  1. Log Monitoring – 1 Protocol Server Adapter Logs 
    Monitors a selected protocol server adapter’s logs for errors or warnings, enabling quick identification of adapter-specific issues. 

Database Monitoring 

  1. DB Status – Verifies the overall health and connectivity of the Sterling database. 
  1. DB CPU – Monitors CPU consumption at the database server level to ensure optimal performance. 
  1. DB RAM – Tracks memory utilization of the database server for capacity planning. 
  1. DB Response Time – Measures query/transaction response time to detect latency issues. 
  1. Active Sessions – Counts current active database sessions. 
  1. Inactive Sessions – Counts idle but connected sessions. 
  1. Total Sessions – Provides a combined view of active and inactive sessions. 

Connection Pool Monitoring 

  1. Any 2 Pools – Monitors selected database connection pools for usage and availability. 

File Processing Monitoring 

  1. Halted – Detects file processing jobs that have halted unexpectedly. 

Adapter & Scheduler Monitoring 

  1. Any 2 Protocol Server Adapters (HTTP/SFTP) – Monitors the health and activity of two specified protocol adapters. 
  1. Any 2 Schedulers – Tracks the operational status of two specified Sterling schedulers. 

Business Process & Queue Monitoring 

  1. Long Running BP (> 1 Minute) – Detects business processes running longer than one minute to flag potential performance issues. 
  1. Any 2 Queue Depth Monitor – Monitors queue depth for two selected queues to ensure timely processing 

Mailbox Monitoring 

  1.  Mailboxes with Unextracted Messages – Identifies mailboxes containing pending unprocessed messages. 

Activity & Purge Monitoring 

  1. CM Trading Partner Activity, CM Application Activity – Monitors activity trends for trading partners and applications to track operational throughput. 
  1. Purge Monitoring – Tracks system and control area purging processes to ensure storage optimization and data hygiene. 

Certificate Monitoring 

  1. Certificate Expiry Status (System, CA) – Tracks the expiry dates of Sterling Integrator system certificates and Control Area (CA) certificates to ensure timely renewal and prevent service disruptions. 

Maximo – Lite Datapoints

Nodes Monitoring 

  1. Any 2 Nodes – Enables targeted monitoring for two specific Maximo cluster nodes, reducing overhead while still tracking critical compute resources. 
  1. Node Status – Verifies whether the monitored nodes are online and responding to cluster health checks. 
  1. CPU – Measures CPU utilization for the monitored nodes to avoid performance bottlenecks. 
  1. RAM – Tracks memory usage on the monitored nodes to detect potential memory pressure. 

Namespace Monitoring 

  1. Any 1 Namespace Monitoring (Manage) – Allows customers to configure monitoring for a single critical namespace (e.g., manage) to focus on key workloads. 
  1. Pod Count – Counts the number of running, pending, and failed pods within the selected namespace. 
  1. Pod Status – Provides status updates for pods (Running, Pending, CrashLoopBackOff, etc.), helping identify issues early. 
  1. Restart Count – Tracks the number of times pods have restarted, indicating instability or configuration issues. 
  1. CPU Usage – Reports the CPU consumption of pods within the namespace for performance tuning. 
  1. RAM Usage – Reports the memory consumption of pods within the namespace for resource optimization. 
  1. SSL Certificates Monitoring – Tracks SSL certificate expiry dates for all Maximo-related endpoints to prevent service interruptions due to expired certificates. 
  1. Active Sessions – Monitors the count of active user sessions to help track load and usage trends. 
  1. Application Status Monitoring – Verifies the operational status of all Maximo applications (e.g., Manage, Health, Monitor) for uptime assurance. 
  1. Pod Run Time Logs Monitoring – Collects and analyzes runtime logs for pods in key namespaces (e.g., manage, db2u) to identify runtime exceptions or warnings. 

Database Monitoring 

  1. DB Status – Verifies the overall health and connectivity of the Sterling database. 
  1. DB CPU – Monitors CPU consumption at the database server level to ensure optimal performance. 
  1. DB RAM – Tracks memory utilization of the database server for capacity planning.
