On this page, you can configure settings related to the Health monitoring module. This module allows system administrators to observe and record the application's load and performance using an external application, e.g. the built-in Performance monitor in Microsoft Windows.

 

The following settings can be configured on this page:

 

General

Enable health monitoring

Indicates if Health monitoring is enabled. i.e. if monitored values are written to both General and Site performance counters related to this instance of Kentico CMS. If disabled, no values are written to any of these performance counters.

Application monitoring interval

Time interval (in seconds). In this periodic interval, the application reads monitored values and writes them to performance counters.

Use external service

Indicates if external Windows service should be used to read and write monitored values to the Scheduled tasks in queue, E-mails in queue and Error e-mails in queue performance counters. As these counters require database access to get their values, using the external service may optimize your application's performance.

Service monitoring interval

Time interval (in seconds). In this periodic interval, the external Windows service reads monitored values and writes them to performance counters. If you are using the Health Monitoring Windows service and change this value, it is necessary to restart the Windows service in order for the new value to be used.

Enable site counters

Indicates if values are written to site specific performance counters. If disabled, values are written to general counters only.
