SA Manager Debug Console

The following debug pages are available on the SA Manager server:

Note: Click Show Usage on any debug page to view detailed page usage procedures.

Troubleshooting
Triage Tests

Use this page to determine the subsystem availability to help you diagnose subsystem failures. This test is generally your first step in troubleshooting many major problems. If any Triage Tests fail, you must resolve those failures before any other problems. For more information, see SA Manager Triage Tests.

Debug Controller

Use this page to activate the debug features for various modules and log to the soimgr-debug.log file. Troubleshooting topics ask you to turn on the certain logging feature when diagnosing problems. The advanced options let you separate or group the logging into one or more files.

Note: We recommend that you turn on each logging option only as you need the information. Excessive logging can both slow down your system and make the log file difficult to read.

Server Log Scanner

Use this page to search for a string in one or more CA SOI log files that are available on this server. This search is similar to a grep utility. Found search strings are indicated in red in the log file. The search results also include the log file line numbers and character location. The embedded links allow you to inspect the log contents quickly. A summary function provides an outline of possible problems that are found in the log file.

Consolidated Log Scanner

Use this page to search the soimgr-error.log file. You can search for connection errors and you can see information from particular sources.

Logs
Log Download

Use this page to package and download log files that you want to archive or for working with CA Support technicians.

Web Server Log

Use this page to view and search the current segment of the soimgr.log file. This page is useful if you cannot access a server remotely to view a log file.

Consolidated Error Log

Use this page to display the soimgr-error.log file. You can optionally show the log starting from a particular search string.

Debug Pages
Memory Usage

Use this page to view the server's memory for diagnosing performance issues. You can run the Java Garbage Collection mechanism to manage Java memory. You can set the page to refresh automatically at regular intervals. You can also toggle logging memory information to the soimgr.log file.

Thread Info

Use this page to generate a Java Virtual Machine (JVM) thread dump when you are trying to diagnose a problem on the JVM. You can see which threads are most active.

Queue Monitor

Use this page to monitor the sizes of thread pools and their associated job queues.

Database Connectivity

Use this page to validate the SA Store Database connection and test the access time. The test parameters are configurable. You can also generate a report.

Database Tables

Use this page to inspect and report on the SA Store database table sizes for troubleshooting database problems and determining when the database requires maintenance. You can also generate, package, and download a report.

Event Integration KPIs

Use this page to display CA SOI event integration key performance indicators (KPIs).

Service Check

Use this page to scan and validate the SA Manager Server services so you can diagnose a service corruption. You can also view service statistics such as the number of CIs.

Layout Check

Use this page to scan and validate the internal service layout (topology) XML descriptors so you can diagnose layout issues. It is nearly impossible to see these layouts in the database itself.
