Counters

The Counters Panel provides an interface for users to enable and view the Content Manager counters.

Interface

To enable a counter or a group of counters enter the path to the counter or path to the counter subtree you wish to enable in the Enable field and press the configure button . This will send a configure request to Content Manager. If you wish to enable all the Content Manager counters enter com.cognos.cm in this field and press configure.

The Counters Panel is driven using the buttons defined in the Interface section of the main CMTop help section. To refresh the counter values click the refresh button .

There are different transforms you can apply to reply from Content Manager. These transforms can be applied by choosing the desired transform from the Transform drop down.

The filter text field defines the server side filter that will be applied to the counters. Enter the branch of the counter tree you wish to filter on and click the refresh button to apply the filter. Enter com.cognos.cm to display all Content Manager filters.

Period vs Total

You will notice that the counters have both a period and total value. The period value is the change in value since the last time you requested the counter value from Content Manager whereas the total value is the value of this counter since it was enabled.
