Monitor Caches in NCache Monitor

Both local and clustered caches publish performance statistics using Windows Performance Counters. NCache also publishes performance statistics of cache from client perspective. In this step, you will verify that the Stress test tool that you ran in previous step is making cache calls successfully.

• Right-click on the cache name and select Monitor Cluster. This opens up NCache Monitor.

• By default, NCache Monitor displays selected counters in Server Dashboard and Report-View Dashboard form. Granted that the Test-Stress tool is running, you will be able to monitor statistics for each server:

You can also create custom dashboards as explained in detail in Administrator's Guide.

To browse cache statistics in .NET Core, make sure that you run the NCache service as an administrator. Here are the steps to do so:

• Open Services window and look for NCache in the list.
• Right click NCache from the list and choose Properties.
• Go to the Log On tab and click on the Browse button.
• In the object name field, type Administrator and click on the Check Names button.
• It will pick the appropriate Administrator, then click OK.
• Now, set a Password and click OK.
• Right click on the NCache service and choose the Restart option. Now your service will start running as administrator.
