Front-End UI Example

Overview

This section displays the following:

The Elastic Path Commerce version.
The end-of-life date for the current version of the platform.
A link to the relevant version of the documentation.
A calculation showing the maximum number of concurrent Cortex API requests that the environment could (theoretically) handle.

Top 10 Recommendations

This section collects the highest-severity issues detected from all of the subsequent sections so that urgent issues can be seen at a glance.

note

The recommendations provided by Operational Insights should drive discussion and validation, and should not be blindly followed. The advice may not be correct for all customers and are intended to be an indication that additional analysis may be required.

EP Service Instances

This section contains details collected from each Elastic Path Commerce service detected in the environment. An environment means all services currently connected to the same ActiveMQ broker.

EP Service Instances section

The "Overview" subsection shows how many of each type of instance were detected.

The "Instance Details" subsection contains details from each Elastic Path Commerce service. The blue-highlighted title contains the instance type and the instance identifier in brackets. The instance identifier is a GUID generated at application startup, so it can be used to differentiate between two running instances of the same type. If the service is restarted it will be assigned a new instance identifier. The hostname, IPV4, and IPV6 addresses for the instance are shown below the instance title.

The subsequent subsections show details about the service:

Hardware
Operating System
JVM
Application Server
Database Client
JMS Client
Caching
Search Indexing (relevant to search instances only)

Database

This section contains details about the connected database.

Settings

This section contains details about configuration settings in the application. This information helps to ensure that the configuration is correct for the specified environment.

Data Shape

This section contains details about how many records of each type are present in the database. This can help to highlight data volume and data-growth of certain application tables.
