Too many virtual proxies in the QMC - not sure which is used? How to tell?

[mwallman]

Hi,

We have 6 virtual proxies in our Production server. This information is in the Virtual proxies page of the QMC.

This seems like too many and I am not sure which one is being used.

Is there a way to tell which virtual proxies are used and not used?

Interesting question.

I don't think that info is readily available, so my approach would be to use the regular Operations Monitor app and sift through it for information about the VPs.

For example, let's say you have VPs called vp_test, vp_finance and vp_report. Do a full text search for those terms (maybe one at a time, to keep things simple) in the OpsMonitor app. I suspect you will get results in the "Context" log entry field.

Then create new table in which you count those log files against week, maybe?

While not perfect this could give you a rough idea of what VPs are used, and if the first test works you can always refine the concept later.

@mwallman ,

The virtual proxy in use is recorded in the Proxy > Trace > Audit log in the VirtualProxy column. Here's a super quick and dirty app which can be used. Example output:
