HPCC Systems Thor Monitor - Using Workunit Services and Power BI to Monitor Thor Activity

The ECL Workunit Services standard library functions can be used to capture details about workunits running on Thor including processing time, errors, current state, and more. Capturing these details allows for monitoring, trending, error analysis, degradation, and other data points that can help improve the efficiency of your Thor environments. We will look at how to use this information to monitor the system with visualizations in Power BI.
Jessica has been with LexisNexis Risk Solutions Group since 2001. She spent 16 years as a developer and technical lead with the Legal & Professional division, before moving to her current role 2.5 years ago when she began learning about and working with HPCC Systems, ECL, and Power BI. She has a BS degree in Systems Analysis from Miami University (OH).
