A technical walk-through of how the PerformanceGuard web interface works.
| Anchor | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
The PerformanceGuard API is an application programming interface for access to collected data and administration of PerformanceGuard entities.
The API is based on REST (REpresentational State Transfer), and you access it through HTTP.
To try out the API, view examples, etc., log in to the PerformanceGuard display and type /swagger after the server name in the URL.
Example: performance.yourcompany.com/swagger
For more information, see API in the PerformanceGuard help system's table of contents.
For more information, see PerformanceGuard API.

The following parameters control the behavior of the PerformanceGuard web interface. They can be set either in the config_params database table or in the file performanceguard.xml (the default location of the file is \[PerformanceGuard installation folder\]\display\conf). |

If required, you can make PerformanceGuard services use Windows Authentication on to the PerformanceGuard SQL Server databases. See Windows Authentication for PerformanceGuard Services.
If required, you can make PerformanceGuard services use Windows Authentication on to the PerformanceGuard SQL Server databases. See Windows Authentication for PerformanceGuard Services in the PerformanceGuard online help system.
Demo Mode
demo.mode |
...

When demo mode is activated, the internal clock in the PerformanceGuard web interface will be stopped and reset to the time stamp of the last delivered sample. When in demo mode PerformanceGuard won't accept incoming data from agents, and it won't delete old data (the cleanup job is stopped). |
Access Logging
| Wiki Markup |
|---|
Access logging, that is logging of who accesses the PerformanceGuard system, is by default _not_ enabled. When access logging has been enabled, you can view the access log in the folder \[PerformanceGuard installation folder\]\display\accesslogs. |

It's possible to customize the product name, logo and company name in the PerformanceGuard web interface for OEM purposes.
This will also affect the product name and company name shown in reports.
The PerformanceGuard web interface also contains a copyright notice. It's not possible to change the name of the copyright holder.
Customizable items are available in a properties file that's by default called branding.properties. You find the file in the PerformanceGuard installation folder, under ...\display\localize.
The properties file may have a different name in your organization. The name of the properties file is controlled by the propertyFile parameter in the file ...\display\conf\performanceguard.xml. Note that the properties file must be placed in the ...\display\localize folder.

As a PerformanceGuard administrator you may occasionally want to view custom performance data that's not covered by the data display options of the PerformanceGuard web interface.
When that's the case, you can get a CapaSystems consultant to help you extract the required custom data. After the consultant has extracted the data, you can view it in the PerformanceGuard web interface when you select ADMINISTRATION > Status > Uploaded Files.
Prerequisites
In order for extracted custom data to be available for viewing in the PerformanceGuard web interface, you or your CapaSystems consultant must define a home for the extracted data files. To do that, define a main folder with one of more subfolders, depending on the structure and nature of the extracted data.
To define the main folder, select ADMINISTRATION > Setup > Parameters. Then select the Display tab and scroll down to the Browse Upload Folders parameter.
Note that the folder structure, including at least one custom subfolder, must exist. That means that if you want to use the default path of C:\Program Files\PerformanceGuard\notification\uploadedFiles\Dump, you must create the Dump folder yourself, because that folder doesn't exist by default. You must also create at least one custom subfolder under the Dump folder, for example ...\Dump\CustomData.
If in doubt, ask your CapaSystems consultant to define the folder structure for you when he or she sets up the custom data extraction.
