Monitoring dashboard

We introduce DigiBoard - a monitoring dashboard from Grafana that will assist the administrators with having overview of the system health and detecting possible problems early. It will also be a first place to check when something doesn’t work as intended, making troubleshooting easier.

The following information can be accessed through DigiBoard:

• Information about the server (e.g. memory usage, CPU)

• RabbitMQ monitoring (e.g. error queues, delay queues

• Debouncing messages

While the dashboard available out-of-the-box is not customizable, it is possible to add new dashboards. It is also possible to configure alerts and notifications.

Performance and stability

ItemSecurity was further enhanced in DAM Center 5.4. Thanks to to this the performance of the system was significantly improved.

Re-write of Digibatch

One of the major tasks for the release 5.4 was re-writing Digibatch in order to allow more effective maintenance of the underlying code in the future. As a result the speed of the system was roughly doubled.

Another important change is that the status of jobs is now available from Media Manager instead of DAM Center. This increases the accessibility of jobs in the system as the administrator no longer needs to switch to another interface. DidiBatch status can be found under the Settings menu. The following information concerning each job is available:

• Which asset it concerns

• Job name

• Who started the job

• Current status

• When it was started and finished

• Description

• Logs
