IBM Tivoli Composite Application Manager for Application Diagnostics, Version 7.1.0.1
Web Applications workspace
This workspace displays information about the Web applications running in J2EE application servers.
This workspace displays data provided by the Web Applications attributes.
- The Web Applications workspace reports blanks for resource data on the first invocation if PMI data collection is configured for on-demand sampling (that is, if your site set configuration value Resource Data Collection Method to On Demand) or if you have not yet run applications that generate PMI resource data. To report resource data in this workspace after installing and configuring the data collector, use the WebSphere administrative console to set the appropriate PMI instrumentation level.
- Because of high overhead, the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Agent provides on demand sampling by default. To activate PMI monitoring, first select this workspace and then select it again later. Each time you select the workspace, it displays the data collected during the interval between selections.
The predefined workspace contains the following items:
- Worse Response Times bar chart, which shows the worst servlet response times (in milliseconds) during the interval
- Most Popular Web Applications bar chart, which shows the servlet exception and request rates (in events per second)
- Worse Error Rates bar chart, which shows the worst servlet error rates during the interval
- Web Applications report, which displays aggregated performance data for each Web application, about all servlets and JSPs deployed to that Web application, including response and error rates and response times.
