Operational Insights User Guides

Prerequisites

  • TDP v4.5.0 or later for Health Monitoring App v2.0.0 and later (Health Monitoring App v1.x is supported by TDP v4.3.0-v4.5.0 only)
🚧

IMPORTANT

Upgrading to Health Monitoring App v2.0.0 or later is recommended after upgrading to TDP v4.5.0 or later for improved functionality and will be required starting in TDP v4.6.0. For more information, see the Health Monitoring App v1.1.0 and Earlier Deprecation Notice.

For Customer-Hosted TDP Environments Only

  • The TetraScience Databricks integration (which supports the Lakehouse). Contact your customer account leader to set this up.
  • The TDP's Transport Layer Security (TLS) certificate must validate the following endpoint: *.data-apps.tdp-hostname.com
  • The Domain Name Server (DNS) zone for tdp-hostname.com must have a CNAME record routing *.data-apps.tdp-hostname.com to tdp-hostname.com

Activate the Health Monitoring App

To activate the Health Monitoring App in your TDP environment, contact your customer account leader.

📘

NOTE

In TDP v4.5.0 and later, the Operational Insights menu option now displays for all customers by default, whether or not the Health Monitoring App is installed and activated in their TDP environment. Previously, the Operational Insights dashboard required the Health Monitoring App to be manually activated by a customer account leader.

For the Operational Insights dashboard to appear and populate with usage data, either a user with Administrator permissions must choose to enable the dashboard in the UI after selecting the Operational Insights menu option, or customers must have the Health Monitoring App activated in their TDP environment. If the app isn't activated or the Operational Insights dashboard isn't enabled through the UI by and admin, then customers will see a prompt to either enable the dashboard if they're an admin, or to contact their admin to enable it if they're a non-admin user.

Enabling the Operational Insights dashboard through the UI installs the Health Monitoring App and activates the Operational Insights dashboard only. It doesn't activate the Health Monitoring App dashboard, which must still be done in coordination with TetraScience.

Upgrade the Health Monitoring App

To upgrade the Health Monitoring App to the latest version after it's activated, do the following:

  1. Open the Health Monitoring App.
  2. Click the three-dot menu icon next to the NEW UI | WELCOME TO OUR NEW HEALTH MONITORING EXPERIENCE display at the top of the page.
  3. Select Change Version. The Change Version dialog appears. Health Monitoring App three-dot menu icon
  4. In the VERSION dropdown, select the version that you want to upgrade to.
  5. Choose Change Version.

Activation Considerations

When activating the Health Monitoring App, keep in mind the following:

  • After being activated, the app may return a 500 internal server error as it establishes a new user database. To resolve the issue, log out of the TDP, close your web browser, and then reopen the browser and sign back in to the TDP.
  • The app might also display a Workgroup Not Found error when you open it the first time. To resolve the issue, you must rotate your organization-level SQL Credentials. Keep in mind, the new set of generated credentials will cause the previous set of credentials to stop working.
  • The app can be deactivated at any time, if needed.
  • (For customer-hosted deployments only) Activating the Health Monitoring App introduces additional data processing costs in the Data Lakehouse. To process integration events in near real time, the app creates its own silver Lakehouse Tables that are required for data cleaning and validation. These tables support the analytics displayed in the Health Monitoring App and are activated through a feature flag (enable_dam_silver_tables), which can be turned off at any time. For a cost estimate based on your specific needs, contact your customer account leader.
