Performance Impact
The goal of any monitoring is to reduce performance degradation of normal functioning. Therefore, monitoring messages are sent asynchronously.
If a monitoring endpoint cannot keep up with the traffic that is being sent by DSAs, then the DSA memory consumption increases.
Diagnostics (Debugging)
To assist with diagnosing monitoring issues, additional diagnostic messages are displayed. The
trace stack;
level is enhanced to display HTTP request and response contents. This information assists users in diagnosing issues while sending to and integrating with the external monitoring address.If a monitoring message cannot be sent, a warning is noted in the warn log.
Event Message Delivery
The DSA does not guarantee message delivery. The DSA makes every effort to deliver a monitoring event to the configured end points. If the delivery fails, a warning is logged in the DSAs warn log. This warning indicates that the message was not sent and the information is now lost.
