Instrumentation and Diagnosis Settings

The JADE initialization file contains the:

[JadeMonitor] section, which stores JADE Monitor directives and preferences so that they can be re-used in your next work session.
[JadeMonitorBackground] section, which contains parameters that specify the directives required to run the non-GUI JADE Monitor as a background process to log selected statistics into a flat file for subsequent analysis.

For details about these sections and the parameters that they can contain, see the JADE Initialization File Reference.

The parameters in the [JadeMonitor] section for the JADE Monitor application are listed in the following table.

Parameter	Example	Description
BackgroundWindow	0, 0, 450, 300, 0	Position and size of the client MDI window
DefaultLogDirectory	c:\jade\monitor\logs	Absolute path of directory to which samples are logged
DirectivesFile	c:\jade\bin\directives.txt	Text (.txt) file that contains sets of statistics displayed, recorded, and so on, when the JADE Monitor is invoked
NavigatorClickCausesRefresh	false	Specifies whether clicking in the Navigator pane causes a refresh action
ShowOverview	true	Specifies whether the overview is displayed below a JADE Monitor sheet
UIFontSize	10	Point size of the font displayed when the JADE Monitor is invoked

The parameters in the [JadeMonitorBackground] section for the non-GUI background JADE Monitor application are listed in the following table.

Parameter	Example	Description
DefaultLogDirectory	c:\jade\logs	Absolute path of directory to which samples are logged
DirectivesFile	c:\jade\bin\directives.txt	Text (.txt) file that contains sets of statistics displayed, recorded, and so on, when the background JADE Monitor is invoked

You can start the JADE Monitor background application by:

Using the predefined application (that is, ServerApplication<application-number> = JadeMonitorSchema,JadeMonitorBackground) in the [JadeServer] section of the JADE initialization file on the server node to start the background application when the server node starts up
Selecting the Start Monitor Background Application command from the File menu in the GUI JADE Monitor

The JADE Monitor background application does nothing if a directives file containing the statistics to be recorded has not yet been saved to the path and file specified in the DirectivesFile parameter in the [JadeMonitorBackground] section of the JADE initialization file (that is, if the directives file is empty, it does not exist, or it is not specified, the monitor application is launched and then waits for user input).
