IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2
Tivoli Enterprise Portal client
The Tivoli Enterprise Portal client issues requests to the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server and renders the data that is returned. Depending on the choice of installation, the portal client can be started as a desktop application or as an applet embedded in a Web browser.
The topics in this section outline considerations for optimizing the portal client performance:
- Tuning the portal client JVM
The memory usage of the portal client JVM increases as the size of the monitoring environment increases. If the maximum Java heap size setting is too low, the JVM spends a significant amount of time performing garbage collection. This can result in poor portal client response time and high CPU utilization.
- Portal client parameter tuning
This section provides some information about parameters you might consider editing to improve portal client performance and usability.
- Avoid displaying a large number of events in the Situation Event Console
Tivoli Enterprise Portal performance starts to slow down as the number of events in the Situation Event Console view increases, especially if there are more than 1000 events.
