Before using Talend Activity Monitoring Console

Before collecting and reusing the activity monitoring information of your Talend Jobs, you have to:

• Create files or database tables to be used as datasources for the activity monitoring information. For more information, see Creating files or database tables.
• Enable activity monitoring either by configuring the Stats & Logs settings at the project level or Job level or by adding the relevant components to your Jobs in order to catch and record the activity monitoring information and deliver it to the defined output (files or database tables). For more information, see Enabling activity monitoring.
• Configure the datasources to retrieve the activity monitoring information, which can be displayed on Talend Activity Monitoring Console either from the studio or from the Monitoring module of Talend Administration Center. For more information, see Configuring datasources for the monitoring console.

For more information about the database supported by Talend Activity Monitoring Console, see the section about compatible databases in the Talend Installation and Upgrade Guide.
