IBM Tivoli Composite Application Manager for Application Diagnostics, Version 7.1.0.1
Attributes for ITCAM Agent for J2EE
IBM Tivoli Composite Application Manager for Application Diagnostics Agent for J2EE is a Tivoli Enterprise Management Agent that is located within your distributed system. This agent gathers data about running J2EE Application Server processes that have been collected and stored by the ITCAM for J2EE data collector, and stores this data in elements called attributes. Each attribute is a characteristic of an object. For example, the Receive Count attribute in the JMS Summary attribute group counts the number of messages your applications have retrieved from JMS messages queues.
Attribute groups
The IBM Tivoli Composite Application Manager for Application Diagnostics Agent for J2EE attributes are organized into groups of related items. These attribute groups comprise the attribute tables for this agent. For example, the Garbage Collection Analysis attribute group provides information about the frequency with which the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) invokes its garbage collector.
Attributes and workspaces
Various attributes are referenced by the product's predefined situations. You can also use the IBM Tivoli Composite Application Manager for Application Diagnostics Agent for J2EE attributes to create your own situations to monitor the performance of your J2EE application servers and their applications. These situations can monitor your J2EE Application Server resources or correlate multiple conditions to alert you to problems that may have occurred when attribute values exceed thresholds that you define.
- Attribute groups used by the predefined workspaces
A workspace contains graphical data or report columns that correspond directly to particular attributes in an attribute group. The table shows the correlations between the predefined workspaces and the attribute groups. The workspaces, primary and secondary, are listed alphabetically, not in the order in which they display in the Navigator.- Allocation Failure - J2EE attributes
The Allocation Failure - J2EE attribute group provides information about the heap-allocation failure that caused the Java Virtual Machine hosting the application server to invoke its garbage-collection routine. Use the Allocation Failure attributes when you need to determine the events that caused the JVM to invoke garbage collection.- Application Health Status attributes
The Application Health Status attributes provide information for real-time and historical application health status.- Application Monitoring Configuration attributes
The Application Monitoring Configuration attributes provide information for the Application Monitoring Configuration. Use these attributes to monitor different J2EE applications running within an application server.- Application Server Status - J2EE attributes

The Application Server - J2EE attributes gather status and summary data for a specific J2EE application server. They provide performance data for the J2EE Application Server runtime (JVM memory), HTTP sessions, and configuration parameters. They also provide some information from other attribute groups to provide an overall view of the J2EE application server. Use the Application Server attributes in situations to monitor the health and performance of a J2EE application server.- Baseline attributes
The Baseline attributes provide information for baseline extract data for the given application. The baselining collects statistical information about an application requests completion times and uses this information to assign fair and bad thresholds on the application requests. The product divides the whole request response times into buckets and collects individual hits into each bucket. Use these attributes to get statistics from individual requests collected during baselining interval.- Data sources - J2EE attributes
The Data sources - J2EE attributes provide database usage information. For example, these attributes provide traffic information such as response times for database requests, the frequencies at which database connections are created and destroyed, and how often databases are being accessed.- DB Connection Pools - NetWeaver attributes

The Garbage Collection Analysis - J2EE attribute group provides information from the profiler about the garbage collector in the Java Virtual Machines that are hosting an application server. For example, these attributes report the number of times the collector ran during the interval and the resulting number of objects that the collector freed. Use the Garbage Collection Analysis attributes in situations to monitor garbage-collection performance and possible problems.- Garbage Collection Cycle - J2EE attributes
The Garbage Collection Cycle - J2EE attribute group provides information about a single garbage-collection cycle that the Java Virtual Machine hosting the application server performed. For example, these attributes report the free heap space both before and after garbage collection, the heap space freed, and the number of objects moved during garbage collection. Use the Garbage Collection Cycle attributes in situations to examine the results of a particular garbage collection.- J2EE Agent Events attributes
The J2EE Agent Events attributes collect information about agent-level events that affect the ability of the OMEGAMON XE agent to collect data about J2EE Application Server. These attributes provide error messages, their IDs, and their severities.- J2EE Connector Connection Pools - WebLogic attributes
The J2EE Connector Connection Pools - WebLogic attributes provide data and statistics for the BEA WebLogic Connector Connection Pools.- JCA Connection Pools - J2EE attributes
The JCA Connection Pools - J2EE attribute group collects information about the JCA connection pools for each connection factory.- JDBC Connection Pools - WebLogic attributes
The JDBC Connection Pools - WebLogic attributes provide data and statistics for JDBC connection pools.- JDK - Operation System attributes
The JDK - Operation System attributes provide data and statistics of the operating system on which the J2SE application server is running. The information includes the operating system's architecture, name, version, and the available memory information. The data for attributes is gathered from JVM MBeans, which are supported in JVM version 1.5 and higher. No data will be available for JVM with versions lower than 1.5.- JDK - Memory attributes
The JDK - Memory attributes provide the memory usage information of the operating system on which the J2SE application server is running.
