Watching correlator runtime status
 
List of correlator status statistics
The engine_watch tool lets you monitor the runtime operational status of a running correlator. The executable for this tool is located in the bin directory of the Apama installation. Running the tool in the Apama Command Prompt or using the apama_env wrapper (see Setting up the environment using the Apama Command Prompt) ensures that the environment variables are set correctly.
Synopsis
To monitor the operation of a correlator, run the following command:
engine_watch [ options ]
When you run this command with the –h option, the usage message for this command is shown.
Description
The engine_watch tool periodically polls a correlator for status information, writing the standard status messages to stdout (see List of correlator status statistics for more information on the standard status messages). When you also specify the -a option, any user-defined status values are appended to the standard status messages. For additional progress information, use the –v option.
Options
The engine_watch tool takes the following options:
Option
Description
-h | --help
Displays usage information. Optional.
-n host | --hostname host
Name of the host on which the correlator is running. The default is localhost. Non-ASCII characters are not allowed in host names.
-p port | --port port
Port on which the correlator is listening. Optional. The default is 15903.
-i ms | --interval ms
Specifies the poll interval in milliseconds. Optional. The default is 1000.
-f filename | --filename filename
Writes status output to the named file. Optional. The default is to send status information to stdout.
-r | --raw
Indicates that you want raw output format, which is more suitable for machine parsing. Raw output format consists of a single line for each status message. Each line is a comma-separated list of status numbers. This format can be useful in a test environment.
If you do not specify that you want raw output format, the default is a multi-line, human-readable format for each status message.
-a | --all
Outputs all user-defined status values after the standard status messages. Optional. The default is to output only the standard status messages.
-t | --title
If you also specify the --raw option, you can specify the --title option so that the output contains headers that make it easy to identify the columns.
-o | --once
Outputs one set of status information and then quits. Optional. The default is to indefinitely return status information at the specified poll interval.
-v | --verbose
Displays process names and versions in addition to status information. Optional. The default is to display only status information.
-V | --version
Displays version information for the engine_watch tool. Optional. The default is that the tool does not output this information.
Exit status
The engine_watch tool returns the following exit values:
Value
Description
0
All status requests were processed successfully.
1
No connection to the correlator was possible or the connection failed.
2
Other error(s) occurred while requesting/processing status.
