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 the Model Generated
- Date/Time the Model Was Generated
- Time Taken to Build the Model
- Status of service (the status can be one of the following: Building Model, Idle, Running, Stopping, Stopped, or Paused)
- Source Model 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. Additionally, failures may be due to bad data in the source tables or incorrect data mapping information in the model configuration.
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 PredictorClient object are being called.
For more information about Predictor performance counters, see Predictor Resource Performance Counters.
