1. Monitor

One way to monitor a Pentaho Transformations / Jobs is to use the PDI Status page, which shows you the details of remotely executed and scheduled transformations, such as the date and time they were run, their status and results.

To access the PDI Status page, you need to navigate to the /pentaho/kettle/status page on your Pentaho Server, and change the host name and port to match your configuration.

Another way to monitor a Pentaho transformation is to enable logging and step performance monitoring in the PDI client. Logging provides you with summarized and detailed information about a transformation, such as the number of records inserted, the total elapsed time, and any errors or exceptions.

Step performance monitoring allows you to see how each step in your transformation is performing in terms of speed, memory usage, and input/output rates.

Monitor

Now that executed the transformation against the Pentaho server kettle engine you can remotely log into the service to monitor the tasks.

1. Click on the following URL:

http://localhost:8080/pentaho/kettle/statuslocalhost
