Monitoring System Health & Service Status
Sectona PAM platform provides features for monitoring the use of system resources & system services via the application interface. It includes a list of system services and resources for your environment's active setup. This section guides you in managing system services and monitoring system health status:
Managing App Services
Navigate to System → System Status → App Services to view system services status. These application services have functionalities in common, which are as follows:
Status: This has two indicators: Start/Stop, which indicates whether the service has started.
Started On: This specifies the date and time for the service to be started.
Last Process Completed On: This specifies the date and time when the service was processed last.
- Click on the Action button to view the respective App Service Log.
- Click on the Setting icon to get the consolidated view of Default, Config, and the trigger interval time of the service, along with the latest changes information.
- Click on the Run Now button to run the App Service immediately.
Note: The user can run App Services on Primary P1 and other application nodes using the Trigger/Run option. The Trigger/Run option will be available for other non-primary P1 nodes, such as primary P2, application proxy, fallback application, and remote site application notes (except the DR Application node).

Monitoring System Status
You can also monitor the performance of your Application as well as Vault.
Navigate to System → System Status → Performance.
Here you can keep track of the performance based on the following parameters:
Information: Sectona provides information about applications and vaults, such as property and the current value of the Computer System, Processor, Environment Variable, Memory, Network, Operating System, Services, and storage.
Utilization: It is the percentage of time a component is occupied compared to the total time the component is available for use. For instance, if the CPU processes transactions for a total of 40 seconds during a single minute, its utilization during that interval is 67 percent.
Sectona regularly measures and records the utilization of the following system resources:
Processor
Memory
Disk
Processes: Sectona lists multiple processes and threads on the application and vault. This helps maintain System Health as we know the number of processes and threads concurrently executing.
