Starting, Configuring, and Monitoring Intelligence Server with mstrsvr

If your Intelligence Server is installed on a Linux machine, you can start, configure, and monitor your Intelligence Server from the command line with mstrsvr.

  • Intelligence Server version number

  • Display database connection information
  • Open, idle, and resume projects
  • Check and close jobs
  • Monitor users
  • Define server clustering options
  • Monitor memory usage information
  • Stop the server
  • Monitor lock contentions

  • Once Intelligence Server is started, general configuration information is displayed along with all available configuration and monitoring options. Perform any configuration and monitoring tasks you require.
