Enable monitoring access

Who?

Security server administrator or manager, in cooperation with the network administrator if necessary.

What?

X-Road's central monitoring collects metadata related to data exchange from members' security servers and the security server's own metrics.

Collecting such data enables ADEL to:

  • Get an overview of the use of X-Road environments.

  • Disclose information about the data services offered on X-Road in the form of a service catalog.

  • Provide better customer support to ADEL members because we can see when and which requests were successful or failed;

  • Proactively respond if necessary if we observe a large number of failed requests in monitoring.

Note: ADEL does not receive or collect data on the content of queries made by ADEL members.

To enable monitoring, incoming requests from the ADEL monitoring security servers (on ports 5500 and 5577) must be allowed at the firewall level. The server addresses can be found in the documentation listed here.

Why?

In addition to the reasons mentioned above, enabling security server monitoring helps us provide better customer support. Depending on the nature of the error, we can obtain the necessary technical information from monitoring, allowing us to provide more specific answers right away.
