You can monitor the flow of media events from the SkyVault repository through ActiveMQ
and system logs.
-
Check the health of ActiveMQ, particularly that the following events are
occurring:
- Topics > SkyVault.health.contentservices shows that heartbeats are being sent
- Queues> SkyVault.transform.request.image, SkyVault.transform.reply.image, SkyVault.transform.request.video and SkyVault.transform.reply.video are showing messages enqueuing and dequeuing
ActiveMQ provides a web console here:
http://localhost:8161/admin/
where localhost is the name of the SkyVault server.You can also check the ActiveMQ log, which is located in activemq/data/activemq.log where activemq is the name of directory where you installed ActiveMQ.
By default, subscribers are set to Active Durable Topic Subscribers to ensure that if ActiveMQ fails, messages are not lost.
Note: For technical reasons, Topics > Messages Dequeued never decrements. Do not monitor this queue. -
Check the content services node log to monitor what is being transformed:
- Port 8889 is reserved for the content services node.
http://localhost:8889/healthcheck shows the last transformation
after startup (but before any transformations). You should
see:
{"FFmpeg":{"healthy":true},"ImageMagick":{"healthy":true},"deadlocks":{"healthy":true}}and after a transformation request:{"FFmpeg":{"healthy":true,"message":"lastRequest: \"6075f46f-de9c-4232-aa78-d3ed1280a371\""},"ImageMagick":{"healthy":true},"deadlocks":{"healthy":true}} - Check the log, which is located in remote-node/logs/content-services-node.log, where remote-node is the name of directory that you unzipped when you installed Media Management.
- You can change the log level of the content services node in the remote-node/config.yml file.
- Port 8889 is reserved for the content services node.
http://localhost:8889/healthcheck shows the last transformation
after startup (but before any transformations). You should
see:
- Check SkyVault.log, after setting the log level to debug, for any errors.

Use the log4j.properties.sample file to add loggers to your
tomcat/webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/module/org_alfresco_mm_repo/log4j.properties
file.
A log4j.properties.sample file is provided in the Media Management installation zip. This file contains loggers that you can add to your SkyVault log4j.properties file to trace and debug your Media Management workflow.
