System monitoring tools in ThoughtSpot include several Pinboards in the Admin Console and system logs. Additionally, ThoughtSpot provides several worksheets and out-of-the-box system monitoring pinboards. From these worksheets, you can create your own custom visualizations and pinboards. This page introduces these features and directs you towards more detailed information.
Admin Console
The ThoughtSpot application includes an Admin Console center, where you can easily monitor usage, alerts, events and general cluster health. Navigate to the Admin Console by selecting Admin from the top navigation bar.
Only users with administrative privileges can view the Admin Console. However, administrative users can present the information in the Admin Console to others
Administrators can also create their own, custom boards that reflect system data in ways that are meaningful to specific departments or groups. For more information, see the following documentation:
- Health Overview board
- Data board
- Cluster Manager board
- Alerts and Events board
- System worksheets
- System pinboards
- Falcon monitoring Pinboards
- Performance Tracking Pinboard
Much of the data presented by these boards is also available through tscli commands.
Log files
Many of the administration commands output logging information to log files. The
logs get written into the fixed directory /export/logs, with a sub-directory for
each subsystem. The individual log directories are the following:
/export/logs/orion/export/logs/oreo/export/logs/hadoop/export/logs/zookeeper
You can also view [additional topics that also touch on log files throughout the documentation.
System monitoring notifications
You can configure ThoughtSpot to send emails to addresses you specify with monitoring reports and a cluster heartbeat. Follow these steps to Set up monitoring.
