Hi,
we are playing with the idea, to supply our users with a general report, that tells them something about the health status/workload level of our appian server.
We have several Apps running on our on premise system an usually the server is performing well. But in several facilities in our company the overall network/infrastructure is so bad, that appian users sometimes suffer heavily from it, although our Appian Server ist doing well.
We think it may be a good source for information for our users, if we can provide them with a gerneral performance dashboard of our appian environment, telling them for example how high/low the workload level of the server, the database, the disk quota usage or the mean process time for some of our main processes are. (KPIs)
This way users can easier judge, wether it is their application or their facility environment , that is currently going crazy.
We know that there are administrator tools like the "Appian healthCheck script", which produces an Excel Output. Readable/understandable by the administrators, but not the users.
But did anybody anywhere create something like a general server performance dashboard, that gathered at least some life performance parameters from the system and shows them with appian report abilities?
thanks for your ideas and advice.

Hi olafn,
You can make use of the excel output from Appian Health Check in order to create a dashboard for users. A java plugin can be written to parse the document and get the required data back to Appian in the form of json response. You can parse this data and make reports in Appian. Also, one of the smart services which comes along Appian Health Check named Create Health Check Package gives you log files for all the activities in the environment including the logs for Appian Objects and servers, data metrics etc. You can parse this data and create a customized report in Appian.
