We can view the current performance activity of a server using the Tivoli Performance Viewer (TPV) in the admin console.
Once monitoring is enabled, TPV monitors the performance activity of all servers on a node, which includes the associated appservers and the administrative agent for the node being monitored.
Because the collection of data occurs in the appserver, performance may be affected. To minimize performance impacts, monitor only those servers whose resources need to be optimized.

Monitor and Tuning | Performance Viewer | Current Activity

The TPV current activity collection is displayed.
Start monitoring the current activity of a server in either of two ways:

Under Server, click the name of the server whose activity you want to monitor.
Clicking on the name starts the monitoring for the server and displays the activity page for the server.
Select the check box for the server whose activity you want to monitor, and click Start Monitoring.
To monitor multiple servers at the same time, select the servers and click Start Monitoring.

A TPV console panel is displayed, providing a navigation tree on the left and a view of real-time data on the current performance activity of a server on the right.
From the navigation tree, select the server activity data to view.

Option Description
Advisor Use the Performance Advisor to examine various data while the application is running. The Performance Advisor provides advice to help tune systems for optimal performance and gives recommendations on inefficient settings by using collected PMI data.
Settings Set user and logging settings for TPV. These settings can affect the performance of the appserver.
Summary Reports View summary reports on servlets, EJBs, EJB methods, connections pools and thread pools in WAS.
Performance Modules View performance modules that provide graphics and charts of various performance data on system resources such as...

CPU utilization
WebSphere pools and queues such as database connection pools
Servlet response time

In addition to providing a viewer for performance data, TPV enables you to view data for other products or customer applications that have implemented custom PMI.

What to do next

When you finish monitoring a server, select the server and click Stop Monitoring. TPV automatically stops monitoring a server if we the browser window is closed or if the user logs out.
