Configure Performance Monitoring Infrastructure

You can configure Performance Monitoring Infrastructure (PMI) to gather adapter performance data, such as average response time and total number of requests. After you configure PMI for your adapter, you can monitor the adapter performance using Tivoli Performance viewer.

Before you can configure PMI for your adapter, first set the level of tracing detail and run some events to gather the performance data.

  1. To enable tracing and to receive event data, the trace level must be set to either fine, finer, finest, or all. After *=info, add a colon and a string, for example:
    *=info: WBILocationMonitor.CEI.ResourceAdapter.
    *=finest: WBILocationMonitor.LOG.ResourceAdapter.*=finest:
    For instructions on setting the trace level, see Enabling tracing with the Common Event Infrastructure.
  2. Generate at least one outbound request or inbound event to produce performance data that you can configure.


Procedure

  1. Enable PMI for your adapter.

    1. In the administrative console, expand Monitoring and Tuning, and then select Performance Monitoring Infrastructure (PMI).

    2. From the list of servers, click the name of your server.

    3. Select the Configuration tab, and then select the Enable Performance Monitoring (PMI) check box.

    4. Select Custom to selectively enable or disable statistics.

    5. Click WBIStats.RootGroup. This is a PMI sub module for data collected in the root group. This example uses the name WBIStats for the root group.

    6. Click ResourceAdapter. This is a sub module for the data collected for the JCA adapters.

    7. Click the name of your adapter, and select the processes you want to monitor.

    8. In the right pane, select the check boxes for the statistics you want to gather, and then click Enable.


Results

PMI is configured for your adapter.
