Discover System Monitoring
Discover provides several mechanisms for monitoring the health of the Discover system and Discover user activities. This section provides access to the various tools available in the Discover system for monitoring it and its users.
Reporting on Captured Hits
A request and its matching response are bundled together as a hit in the Unica Discover Network Capture Application. After the DNCA captures a hit, it is forwarded to the Transport Service or the Health-Based Routing machine for disposition to the appropriate Short Term Canister.
Hits in the Transport Service or HBR
After a request has been matched with the corresponding response and passed through the DNCA's internal pipeline, the DNCA forwards the bundled hit to the Windows™ servers for processing.

Hits in the Transport Service

After a request has been matched with the corresponding response and passed through the DNCA's internal pipeline, the DNCA forwards the bundled hit to the Windows™ servers for processing.

Depending on your Discover deployment, the receiver can be either of the following:

Discover Transport Service - This service receives hits from the DNCA and manages their processing through the Windows pipeline.
- See Monitoring the Pipeline.
Health-Based Router - In multi-Canister deployments, HBR can be deployed to manage spooling and load balancing between Canisters. See "Health-Based Routing (HBR) Session Agent" in the Unica Discover Configuration Manual.
- You can monitor the status of HBR through the System Status page in the Discover Portal. See System Status.
