Getting Started Monitoring ThingWorx

This video is a culmination of about 1 years worth of learnings around monitoring ThingWorx metrics. Developers, architects, integrators, and system administrators responsible for aspects of a solution lifecycle will all find something beneficial here.
In the recording I touched heavily on DB connections, pool configuration, and resources, as well as the often unknowing heavy use of persisted properties, however there is another key area where such monitoring can be of great help: application memory usage. It can be quite easy to write or execute a service which consumes/monopolizes large swaths of memory; and this will have negative impact on the users, even causing system crashes.
Resources used to document and set this up can be found here: drive.google.c...
You will also need two extensions to be installed in ThingWorx in order to capture and provide additional metrics which are not part of the standard ThingWorx Metrics APIs -- JMX Extension, PersistenceExtension (should be explained in the Word document).

DISCLAIMER: I am positioning this approach as a fast and easy way to start comprehensively monitoring ThingWorx Foundation. It should be expected to adapt and evolve this approach over time depending on your needs, components to monitor, solution architecture, and preferred tools.

why don't you just embed Grafana in Thingworx as a vizaulization tool ?

[@IAMGregEVA]

Grafana is mostly used for I.T. systems monitoring, observability, etc. Some people (including myself) do use is to analyse data in the ThingWorx database(s) to correlate application data to infrastructure type metrics (files transferred, load balancer network bytes, shared file storage file ops, ...).

@@IAMGregEVA I think the visualization quality of Grafana is superior to what Thingworxx can do. Add to this the simplicity of use and convenience to lambda users
