MicroStrategy System Monitors

You can monitor various aspects of your MicroStrategy system from within Developer. The Administration category for a project source contains several system monitors for that project source. These monitors are listed in the table below, and are described in detail in the relevant section of this guide.

Before you can view a system monitor, you must have the appropriate privilege to access that monitor. For example, to view the Job Monitor, you must have the Monitor Jobs privilege. For more information about privileges, see Controlling Access to Functionality: Privileges.

In addition, you must have Monitoring permission for the server definition that contains that monitor. You can view and modify the ACL for the server definition by right-clicking the Administration icon, selecting Properties, and then selecting the Security tab. For more information about permissions and ACLs, see Controlling Access to Objects: Permissions.

To monitor projects or clusters, expand the System Administration category and select either Project or Cluster Nodes.
