Content Observability for OpenText Capture

Every invoice, claim, and onboarding document — observed, assured, self-healed.

OpenText Capture turns your highest-volume documents — invoices, claims, onboarding — into business data, from digital-mailroom intake to export into your ERP and content repositories. When that pipeline stalls, the AP close slips and claims miss SLA. Reveille pioneered Content Observability to keep it running: continuous coverage of the Captiva Server, CaptureFlow batches, and the REST API, with self-healing built in.

The blind spot

The Capture server is up. The invoice didn’t post.

Your IT team can watch Capture server health, CPU, and uptime. What they can’t see is what’s happening to the documents and workflows inside Capture — the invoices, claims, and audit packages that actually drive the business. The platform is at 99.99%. The capture batch still stalled before the AP close ran. Platform SLA is not workflow SLA.

01

Infrastructure monitoring ≠ Capture health

CPU, memory, and uptime tell you the server is running. They don’t tell you whether the Web Client logged in, whether the CPOCR batch progressed, or whether the export to the ERP committed. Most Capture failures live above the OS — in the application layer generic tools can’t see.

02

Silent failures live in the workflow

A Capture failure rarely shows up as a CPU spike. It surfaces as a delayed invoice, a stalled claim, a missed retention deadline, or a failed audit pull — by which point the damage is downstream and the business is asking IT what happened.

03

Vendors grade their own homework

OpenText reports on OpenText’s platform availability. Reveille is the independent record of your Capture service levels — the verification audit, risk, and compliance teams can rely on, written by a measurement layer loyal to the customer.

What Reveille Watches

Every layer of the Capture stack. Application-aware.

50+ prebuilt, application-aware tests cover the components that actually drive Capture service levels — not generic infrastructure pings. Wizards and templates spin up a working monitor in minutes, drawn from a library that already understands Capture architecture. Zero relearning.

01 / Connectivity06 tests

Every Capture host reachable

Captiva Server, database, remoting, and administration console hosts pinged — and Capture modules confirmed connected and active, not merely running.

02 / Platform07 tests

The platform can process work

Windows event log, internal and external database logs, remoting and admin web servers, server services, free disk space, and client debug logs.

03 / Server Metrics09 tests

Captiva Server performance

Data Access Layer execution time, request rate, and errors, plus batch loading, pending I/O, processing messages, VBA message thread queue, and event queue depth.

04 / Database03 tests

The Capture databases respond

The Capture database and the information-extraction database answer queries, and the SQL Server services backing them are running.

05 / Process Metrics06 tests

CaptureFlow throughput

Batch aging, batch creation, batch levels, department batch and task levels, and module task levels — for a single Capture server or across all servers.

06 / Process Exceptions06 tests

Stuck, locked, and hung batches

Batches in error or hold status, batches with locks, priority-0 batches, batches with task errors, and hung batch counts — caught before they breach SLA.

07 / Licensing03 tests

No silent license lapse

Licensed page and connection counts, license expiration date and status, and Capture REST license status and expiration.

08 / Input Sources04 tests

Mailroom, email, fax, and scan

Input file share counts and file age, email folder item counts, and the Capture web service importer — so the digital mailroom keeps feeding work.

09 / Output & Clients05 tests

Results land; clients stay up

Export database connection and file share currency, plus Capture Web Client and REST Interface availability for branch users and applications.

From Signal to Resolution

Alert. Drill in. Resolve.

Detection is half the job. Reveille closes the loop — from a single threshold breach to a root-cause view in the affected queue, batch, workflow, or service.

1

Anomaly detected

AI/ML dynamic thresholds learn normal Capture patterns and cut alert noise from workload variation.

2

Context-packaged alert

Notifications arrive with the metrics, affected components, and troubleshooting data attached.

3

Self-healing remediation

When thresholds breach, Reveille can automatically trigger recovery actions — resolving issues before the ticket queue fills.

KPI Dashboards

Capture operational KPIs, out of the box.

40+ prebuilt dashboard metrics turn Capture signals into measurable key performance indicators — tracked, charted, and reported through Capture-aware dashboards.

  • Server performance, database activity, and capture processing
  • Process and system exceptions, license utilization
  • Web Client and REST performance trends
  • Dynamic threshold detection powered by machine learning

User Analytics

See who did what, where — and what was unusual.

Reveille uses patented collectors to observe real Capture user activity, turning every login, retrieve, search, and document action into auditable, queryable insight.

  • Track adoption and end-user response times continuously
  • Detect suspicious or abnormal access patterns (insider threat)
  • Same-user/different-IP and content-access-breach alerts
  • Integrates with Microsoft Defender for Endpoint to speed mean time to resolution

Service Level Assurance

For the processes Capture runs, a silent failure is a missed commitment.

Capture platform availability is not the same as Capture workflow availability. Reveille measures the difference — and proves it to the business, the auditor, and the customer.

Questions

Reveille for OpenText Capture, answered

What is Reveille for OpenText Capture?
Reveille for OpenText Capture is agentless Content Observability software that continuously monitors, alerts, self-heals, and reports on the health of OpenText Capture environments. It covers the Captiva Server, Capture modules, CaptureFlow batches, the Data Access Layer, input and output sources, the Web Client, and the REST API — helping organizations prevent SLA breaches and keep business-critical content operations running.
Does Reveille require agents on Capture servers?
No. Reveille is the only agentless monitoring system that integrates with OpenText Capture. Nothing is installed on Capture servers, which avoids the maintenance overhead and platform risk of agent-based tools while still delivering full transaction-level visibility.
Which versions of OpenText Capture does Reveille support?
Reveille integrates with OpenText Capture 20.x and above, across on-premises and cloud-hosted Capture deployments — including AWS, Azure, GCP, and private cloud.
What can Reveille monitor in OpenText Capture?
Reveille includes 50+ Capture-specific application-aware tests and 40+ prebuilt dashboard metrics covering connectivity, platform health, Captiva Server metrics and the Data Access Layer, the Capture and information-extraction databases, CaptureFlow process metrics, process exceptions, licensing, input and output sources, and the Web Client and REST API.
Does Reveille work with OpenText Capture Cloud Edition and hosted Capture?
Yes. Reveille supports Capture deployed on-premises, in OpenText Capture Cloud Edition, and in customer-managed cloud environments on AWS, Azure, GCP, and private cloud. Because Reveille is agentless, it works the same way against hosted Capture as it does against on-prem — no installation on OpenText infrastructure.
Can Reveille monitor the OCR modules (CPOCR, SSOCR) and Capture REST APIs?
Yes. Reveille includes dedicated tests for the OCR and image modules (CPOCR, SSOCR, IMGCONV), for CaptureFlow batch progress (aging, error, hold, and hung batches), and for the export modules (CPEXPORT) and export targets. It also verifies Capture Web Client and REST Interface access and observes the real HTTP/HTTPS experience end to end.
How quickly can Reveille be deployed for Capture?
Wizards and templates build a working Capture monitor in minutes from a prebuilt library that already understands Capture architecture. There is no agent installation, no relearning of Capture interfaces, and no custom integration work. The Reveille implementation team brings deep ECM experience to accelerate production rollout.
How does Reveille help reduce Capture support tickets and resolution time?
Reveille proactively detects degrading conditions and can trigger self-healing remediation before issues escalate — replacing manual checklist monitoring and after-the-fact troubleshooting. Customers typically see fewer Capture support tickets and shortened time to resolution on the issues that remain.
Can Reveille detect suspicious or abnormal Capture user activity?
Yes. Reveille uses patented collectors to capture actual Capture user activity — who accessed which document, when, and from where — and flags abnormal patterns such as suspicious transactions or same-user/different-IP access, supporting audit, compliance, and insider-threat detection.
Does Reveille integrate with existing IT and AI tools?
Yes. Reveille for OpenText Capture integrates with ITOM platforms such as Splunk, incident management systems such as ServiceNow, and endpoint detection tools such as Microsoft Defender for Endpoint. It also supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP) for use with AI assistants and AI agents.
Is Reveille an OpenText partner?
Yes. Reveille is an OpenText Solution Extension Partner, and the Reveille implementation team brings deep ECM experience to Capture deployments.
How do I get started with Reveille for OpenText Capture?
Start by requesting a demo at reveillesoftware.com — a Reveille engineer will walk through your specific Capture environment, identify the highest-value monitors to deploy first, and outline a proof-of-value timeline. Most customers see a working Capture monitor deployed within days of project kickoff thanks to wizard-driven templates and the agentless architecture.
How does Reveille compare to SolarWinds, Splunk, Datadog, or Nagios for Capture?
SolarWinds, Splunk, Datadog, and Nagios are general-purpose infrastructure monitoring tools — they watch servers, networks, OS metrics, and log volumes. They do not understand Capture as an application and cannot test Capture-specific operations such as Web Client login, CaptureFlow batch progress, export to the ERP, or input-source aging. Reveille is purpose-built Content Observability for OpenText Capture, with 50+ Capture-specific application-aware tests, 40+ prebuilt Capture dashboard metrics, AI/ML dynamic thresholds, and self-healing automation. Reveille is the only agentless platform built specifically for Capture, and integrates with Splunk, ServiceNow, and other ITOM tools rather than replacing them.
What does Reveille monitor in Capture that other tools cannot?
Reveille observes the application and content layer inside Capture — the layer infrastructure monitoring cannot see. The structural difference is that Reveille is purpose-built for Capture and runs application-aware tests that understand Capture semantics: what a successful Web Client login looks like, what a healthy CaptureFlow batch looks like, what a normal Capture REST transaction looks like, what a stalled export to the ERP looks like. Generic tools cannot generate that signal because they do not understand Capture as an application — they only see the servers Capture runs on. Reveille feeds that content-layer signal into the observability stack you already operate (Splunk, ServiceNow, PagerDuty), making your existing tools richer rather than replacing them.
