Content Observability for Tungsten Automation TotalAgility
From document to decision in TotalAgility — observed, assured, self-healed.
Tungsten Automation TotalAgility (formerly Kofax) is the capture and process-automation platform your business runs on — invoices, claims, onboarding packets, and case documents scanned, classified, extracted, and exported into the systems of record. When the Core Worker saturates, an import batch backs up, or a license pool runs dry, work stalls and SLAs slip. Reveille pioneered Content Observability to catch that: continuous coverage of the Core Worker, Import Connector, databases, batch queues, and licensing — plus real user analytics and self-healing built in.
Agentless — pre-configured for Tungsten Automation TotalAgility, on-premises or in the cloud.
The Blind Spot
Enterprises can monitor infrastructure. What they can't see is TotalAgility.
TotalAgility is a deep, multi-server capture stack — Core Worker, job processing, Import Connector, Transformation, Reporting, and a Workspace front end, all backed by SQL Server databases. Infrastructure tools see the servers and the database. What they can't see is whether a batch advanced through its queue, whether the Import Connector is draining its inbox, or whether a license pool is exhausted — the things that actually drive documents processed and SLAs met.
That layer is where silent failures live. The Core Worker thread pool saturates. An import batch ages in the queue. A volume license pool runs out mid-shift. A Transformation queue climbs unnoticed. An AI agent or downstream system consuming TotalAgility output fails — not because the model is wrong, but because the capture pipeline feeding it broke.
What infrastructure tools see
The servers ping, the database is up, the services show running. Every host check is green — and a TotalAgility batch can still be stuck in queue.
What Reveille sees
A Core Worker thread pool saturating, import batches aging, a license pool exhausting, a Transformation queue backing up, and abnormal Workspace access — the TotalAgility-level signals that precede a stalled batch or a missed SLA.
Why it matters
Platform availability is not workflow availability. Reveille measures the difference — at the Core Worker, Import Connector, database, and user-activity level — and self-heals before it reaches a ticket.
What Reveille Watches
Every layer of the TotalAgility stack. Application-aware.
100+ prebuilt, application-aware tests cover the components that actually drive TotalAgility service levels — not generic endpoint pings. An agentless TotalAgility Wizard and monitor template spin up a working monitor in minutes, drawn from a library that already understands the Core Worker, Import Connector, database, and licensing model. Zero relearning.
01 / Connectivity8 tests
Every server reachable
Web, application, database, and transformation servers, the Search & Matching Server, and the fax, email, and import-folder hosts are reachable — the first signal that the TotalAgility stack is up.
02 / Platform6 tests
Platform ready to process work
Server free space, TotalAgility services, the web server, the license service responding, the Windows error log, and live job processing — proof the platform can actually move work.
03 / Database8 tests
Every database answering
SQL Server services and the TotalAgility, Documents, Reporting, Reporting Staging, and Simulator databases — with size and backup checks across the data tier behind every batch.
04 / Import Connector11 tests
Intake flowing in
Email inbox and folder access, import-folder file age and counts, connector status and storage, messages waiting and failed, archive-folder access, the Fax FOIP port, and the SMTP server — every intake channel watched.
05 / Clients4 tests
Users never locked out
Workspace login, Designer access, the SDK interface, and the Device Manager interface — the clients operators, designers, and capture devices depend on every day.
06 / Licensing3 tests
Licenses in hand
Volume licensing, station licensing, and license expiration — so a pool never runs dry mid-shift and a renewal never surprises the floor.
07 / Performance7 tests
Core Workers keeping pace
Core Worker tasks taken, threads active, items in the thread pool, system tasks, and locked activities, plus the Search & Matching Server and Export Service — the engine room of TotalAgility throughput.
08 / Reporting & WCF3 tests
Reporting and services healthy
Report data aging and record counts, plus WCF service metrics — the reporting pipeline and service layer that downstream consumers rely on.
09 / Metrics180+ metrics
KPIs from the platform
Batch queue counts, licenses in use, batch aging, station and page counts, and ingestion exceptions — any of 180+ TotalAgility KPIs saved as a measurable, trackable metric.
Detection is half the job. Reveille closes the loop — from a single threshold breach to a root-cause view in the affected module, engine, queue, or import batch.

Dynamic threshold detection powered by machine learning
Reveille uses patented collectors to observe the actual user experience and activity across the TotalAgility Workspace, Designer, and WCF/REST applications — out-of-band, never capturing passwords. It surfaces user adoption and response times, and flags suspicious or abnormal access that can signal an insider threat or a content access breach.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
What is Reveille for Tungsten Automation TotalAgility?
Reveille for Tungsten Automation TotalAgility (formerly Kofax) is agentless Content Observability software that continuously monitors, alerts, self-heals, and reports on the health of TotalAgility environments. It covers the Core Worker engine and job processing; the Import Connector and its email, fax, folder, and web-service intake; the TotalAgility, Documents, Reporting, Reporting Staging, and Simulator databases; Workspace, Designer, SDK, and Device Manager client access; WCF service metrics; reporting; and licensing — helping organizations prevent SLA breaches and keep business-critical capture and automation running, on-premises or in the cloud.
How is this different from TotalAgility's own admin tools and dashboards?
TotalAgility's native tools — the System Dashboard, Designer, and Administration — are platform-scoped: they report on what happens inside TotalAgility. Reveille is the independent, cross-vendor watcher. It runs application-aware transactions against the Core Worker, Import Connector, and databases, applies machine-learning thresholds, self-heals on breach, captures real user activity, and feeds your existing SIEM and incident-management tools — one workflow view across TotalAgility and the scanners, databases, and downstream systems it depends on, instead of a console per platform.
Is Reveille for Tungsten Automation TotalAgility agentless?
Yes. Reveille installs no agents on your TotalAgility servers. An agentless TotalAgility Wizard generates over 100 out-of-the-box tests against the Core Worker, Import Connector, databases, clients, licensing, WCF services, reporting, and performance counters, and the patented Reveille Collector handles cloud or highly secured environments. Credentials are encrypted, and the Collector offers a local credential store so they are not shared with third parties.
Does Reveille support TotalAgility on-premises and in the cloud?
Yes. The agentless TotalAgility Wizard supports Tungsten Automation TotalAgility 8.1 or above, operating on-premises or in the cloud. Reveille delivers improved preventive monitoring to avoid red-level issues across either deployment, and maintains currency with Tungsten Automation platform advances.
Which TotalAgility components does Reveille monitor?
Web, application, database, transformation, and Search & Matching servers; the Core Worker engine, job processing, services, web server, and license service; the TotalAgility, Documents, Reporting, Reporting Staging, and Simulator databases, with size and backup checks; the Import Connector — status, storage, messages waiting and failed, archive-folder access, the Fax FOIP port, and SMTP; Workspace login, Designer access, the SDK interface, and the Device Manager interface; volume, station, and expiration licensing; WCF service metrics; report data aging and record counts; and Core Worker tasks, threads, locked activities, the Search & Matching Server, and the Export Service.
How many tests does Reveille provide for TotalAgility?
Over 100 Tungsten Automation out-of-the-box agentless tests across nine categories — Connectivity, Platform, Database, Import Connector, Clients, Licensing, WCF Service Metrics, Reporting, and Performance — plus over 180 dashboard metrics. The monitor extends with Reveille infrastructure wizards for SQL, REST and web services, file movement over UNC, FTP, and SFTP, and server-level checks via PowerShell, WMI, and Windows performance counters. Any custom ASP.NET component can be added and leverage all Reveille core functionality.
Can Reveille detect a saturated Core Worker or a stalled import batch?
Yes. Performance tests track Core Worker worker tasks taken, threads active, items in the thread pool, system tasks, and locked activities, while Import Connector tests track messages waiting, messages failed, import-folder file age and counts, and connector status — so a thread pool saturating or a batch backing up stands out. Machine-learning dynamic thresholds learn normal TotalAgility patterns and reduce alert noise from workload variation.
Does Reveille self-heal TotalAgility issues?
Yes. On a threshold breach, Reveille can conditionally trigger recovery actions — reducing processing bottlenecks, redriving repository connections, and executing PowerShell-based recovery scripts — resolving many issues before the ticket queue fills. The Reveille platform also supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP) for communication with AI assistants and agents.
Can Reveille tell who accessed which document and detect abnormal access?
Yes. Reveille's patented collectors observe the actual user activity across the TotalAgility Workspace, Designer, and WCF/REST applications — capturing who accessed which document, from which module, and when, for audit, compliance, and capacity reviews. It detects suspicious or abnormal access patterns — such as the same user from different IP addresses or different users from one IP — that can indicate an insider threat or content access breach, and reduces mean time to threat detection with endpoint integration such as Microsoft Defender for Endpoint. The user-analytics collector is a passive packet observer and never captures user passwords.
Does Reveille monitor TotalAgility licensing?
Yes. Reveille checks volume licensing, station licensing, and license expiration, and tracks licenses in use as a dashboard metric — so a volume pool never runs out mid-shift, station use never exceeds entitlement unnoticed, and a renewal never surprises the floor. License usage and page counts are baselined for capacity planning.
How does Reveille handle TotalAgility capacity planning?
Reveille dashboard metrics baseline batch queue counts, batch aging, Core Worker throughput, license and page usage, and Workspace activity and response times. Combined with user analytics on transaction volumes and document-access activity, that exposes consumption trends so you can plan capacity — and right-size modules and licenses — before volume outpaces the environment.
What about security and audit monitoring for TotalAgility?
Reveille captures the actual user activity of who accessed what document during what time period, and audits Designer and Administration transactions that modify TotalAgility operation and configuration — useful for audit, compliance, and capacity reviews. It surfaces failed and suspicious activity, and integrates with SIEMs such as Splunk and incident-management tools such as ServiceNow to reduce mean time to threat detection.
Does Reveille integrate with our existing tools?
Yes. Reveille integrates with existing ITOM platforms such as Splunk and incident-management systems such as ServiceNow to extend your existing IT investments, and with endpoint detection such as Microsoft Defender for Endpoint. It exposes REST endpoints to administer Reveille and retrieve metrics and activity, and supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP) for communication with AI assistants and agents.
Will Reveille work in a secured or cloud environment?
Yes. The patented Reveille Collector runs as a low-footprint service near the application, collecting TotalAgility data locally or remotely into a compressed and optionally encrypted package — ideal for cloud or highly secured deployments, with a local credential store so application credentials are not shared with third parties.
How quickly can we get value from Reveille for TotalAgility?
The agentless TotalAgility Wizard and monitor template jumpstart monitor creation — over 100 out-of-the-box tests and 180+ dashboard metrics from a library that already understands the Core Worker, Import Connector, database, and licensing model. Customers typically see reduced TotalAgility support tickets, shortened time to resolution, and greatly enhanced coordination with Tungsten Automation support.
