Monitoring the Predictor Resource
You can monitor the status of your analysis models through Commerce Server Manager or you can use performance counters to help you monitor the performance of the Predictor resource for prediction time, model load time, number of times a model is loaded, or the total number of predictions made.
When you view the current status of an analysis model, the following information is displayed in the details screen:
Model Name
Model Type
Size of Last Model Generated
Date/Time Last Model Was Generated
Time Taken to Build Last Model
Status of service (The status can be one of the following: Building Model, Idle, Loading Data, Running, or Paused.)
Source Configuration
Recommended Score
Data Fit Score
If you receive the message Build Failed, open the Event Viewer to view the event log. Depending on the type of failure that occurred, you should be able to adjust the appropriate parameters and rebuild the model.
The Predictor resource has four performance counters, one (the Client Avg Prediction Time counter) that allows you to measure how fast predictions are occurring, and three others that count how often certain operations on the Predictor Client Object are being called.
For more information about Predictor performance counters, see Monitoring the Predictor Resource.
