The System Health page shows the state of your Syteca deployment on five customizable dashboards: four on the System State tab (Storage Usage, CPU Usage, Memory Usage, Database State) and one on the Offline Clients tab (Clients). Use them to keep an eye on resource consumption, database write throughput, and Client connectivity.
This functionality is not available in SaaS for the four System State dashboards. The Clients dashboard is available on all deployments.
This page covers the dashboards on the System Health page. A separate set of user-productivity dashboards lives on the Dashboards page - different page, different audience.
The dashboards are user-specific, and your customizations (layout, sizes, colors, settings) are stored on the Application Server - so the dashboards look the same when you sign in from any other computer.

Dashboard reference

Each dashboard has its own configuration accessed by clicking the cog icon in its top right. All dashboards check user permissions: if you don’t have the required permission, the dashboard is empty (or hidden from the Add drop-down).

Storage Usage

Shows disk space consumption, depending on how binary data storage is configured:
  • Binary data in SQL database - a single Database pie chart shows disk space used by the database (including binary data) and remaining free space.
  • Binary data in a shared or local folder - two pie charts: Database (disk space used by the database alone) and Binary Data (disk space used by binary data).
If the database was created manually or disk space isn’t auto-detected, you must specify the allocated disk space in the settings before statistics can be shown.
Requires: Database Management administrative permission.

CPU Usage

Real-time chart of CPU usage by the Application Server process, displayed in percentage terms. Updates every 5 seconds. Setting: Chart color. Requires: Tenant Management and System Configuration administrative permission.

Memory Usage

Real-time chart of memory usage by the Application Server process (private working set), displayed in MB. Updates every 5 seconds. Setting: Chart color. Requires: Tenant Management and System Configuration administrative permission.

Database State

The average number of times Clients write data to the database per minute, plus the current number of records queued to be written (shown at the bottom of the chart). Setting: Chart color.
The queue has a maximum size of 64 records. If this limit is reached, Clients stop sending data to the Application Server and temporarily store it in their offline cache until the queue size decreases.
Requires: Tenant Management and System Configuration administrative permission.

Clients

A pie chart of the number of Clients currently Online, Offline, and Disconnected - where Disconnected means a Client that’s been offline longer than its specified threshold. Updates every 1 minute. An Install More Clients button links to the Computers Without Clients page. If at least one Client doesn’t have a valid license, the message ATTENTION: Not all Clients are licensed! appears at the top of the dashboard. Requires one of:
System Health page showing the five system-state dashboards

The System State and Offline Clients tabs on the System Health page.

Customize the layout and settings

Customizations are user-specific and stored on the Application Server, so they follow you to other computers.

View disconnected Clients

Clients that have been offline longer than a specified threshold appear on the Offline Clients tab of the System Health page, visible to users with the administrative Client Installation and Management permission.
In Multi-Tenant mode, tenant users only see Clients belonging to their own tenant.
The grid shows: Filter by When (a preset or custom time range), Category, Source, or Details. Click a column header to sort, and use Offline Clients → Export Filtered Records to export the current view.
Offline Clients tab showing disconnected Client records

The Offline Clients tab listing Clients that have been disconnected past the configured threshold.

The System Health dashboards also summarize how many Clients are currently online, offline, and disconnected at a glance.

View system errors and warnings

NOT AVAILABLE IN SAAS.
The critical error threshold. If errors exceed 100 per minute, Transaction Log recording stops and a Critical Error Threshold error is logged instead - usually a sign that Clients are failing to write data to the database. Logging resumes once the error rate drops back below 100 per minute.

Tasks List

The Tasks List tab shows long-running background tasks, and lets you cancel them.
In Multi-Tenant mode, users see only their own tenant’s tasks. Viewing requires the administrative Client Installation and Management permission; canceling additionally requires the administrative Database Management permission.
Task types shown: Each row shows: Depending on status, action icons appear:
  • Cancel - available for Queued (removes the task entirely) or In Progress (marks it Canceled) tasks.
  • Download logs - Account Discovery tasks only, once Finished or Failed.
  • Remove - Account Discovery tasks only, once Finished or Failed; deletes the task and its logs.
Select multiple tasks’ checkboxes and use the Bulk Action button to cancel or remove several at once.
Tasks List tab showing tasks with Start Time, Task Name, Status, and other columns

The Tasks List tab, showing tasks in various states.

The grid refreshes automatically every 60 seconds (or press F5 to refresh manually). Resize columns by dragging their separators. Sort by clicking a column header. Filter using the available filter controls, and search Details text using the Search box (top right). Click Load More to display 50 additional records at a time.
The System State tab shows system error and warning notifications in the Transaction Log grid, visible to users with the administrative Tenant Management and System Configuration permission.
Transaction Log records are kept for 30 days by default. Change this by adding the HealthMonitoringCleanPeriod key (value in days) to EkranServer.Settings.config, located by default in C:\Program Files\Ekran System\Ekran System\Server. The same file’s DatabaseStorageSizePerClientWarning key controls the free-space warning frequency.IN SAAS ONLY: contact your Syteca vendor or the Syteca Support team to change the default 30-day retention.
The Transaction Log grid shows, most recent first: Resize or hide columns via Manage Hidden Columns. Filter by When, Category, Source, and - via More Criteria - Details and Severity. Sort by clicking a column header. Export the current view via System State → Export Filtered Records. For log downloads, see Logs. To temporarily disconnect all Clients from the database during maintenance, see Isolating the database from Clients.
