ThingWorx Performance Monitoring with Grafanaauthored by EDC team member Desheng Xu ( @xudesheng ) Monitoring ThingWorx performance is crucially important, both during the load testing of a newly completed application, and after the deployment of new code in an existing application.

Tried restarting the ExportImportSubsystem but it threw an error stating that Stop service is not available for this sub system. Please provide a resolution for this issue.  Thanks,Saran
