Best Practices and Recommendations

For the optimal usage of Micrometer metrics and the Kibana dashboard, the following recommendations are made:

• Ensure that elastic.step in micrometer.properties server settings is not less than 1 min, as the defaults mentioned earlier. This setting controls the frequency with which metrics are stored to the elastic search index. Too short an interval could lead to increased elasticsearch index sizes

• The "Informatica MDM - Product 360 System Metrics (Extended)" gives access to low level monitoring of Caches, Hibernate etc. These metrics are disabled by default to prevent excessive elasticsearch index sizes and performance issues. These metrics should be enabled primarily for debugging purposes.

• When querying statistics for a time range of over multiple days, ensure that the " Maximum buckets" setting in Kibana > Management > Advanced Settings is set to a high number (greater than 20000 as suggested in the defaults)
