IBM Tivoli Composite Application Manager for Application Diagnostics, Version 7.1.0.1
Thread Pools attributes
The Thread Pools attribute group provides information about the data source, as well as connection statistics, for database connection pools in a WAS. Use it to monitor pools activity and to spot potential throttling.
The attributes within this group are used to build the Pool Analysis and Thread Pools workspaces.
- The attributes within this attribute group contain zeros for performance data if your site set configuration value Resource Data Collection Method to On Demand (for on-demand sampling) and you have not yet run applications that generate performance data. To report performance data in these attributes after installing and configuring the data collector, use the WebSphere administrative console to set the appropriate PMI instrumentation level.
- The Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Agent is set by default to provide on-demand sampling; thus the attributes within this attribute group initially contain zeros until you select the workspace and then select it again later. Each time you select the workspace, these attributes are updated with the latest data.
For information about WebSphere PMI metrics, see WebSphere PMI Attribute Mapping.
Indicates J2EE application ID.
The average number of concurrently active threads during the sampling interval. Format is decimal (formatted to 3 decimal places). This value is an average of several values collected over an interval. The interval can be either between this time and the previous time you activated this workspace, or fixed (normally 60 seconds), depending on the configuration of the monitoring agent.
The average number of free threads in the pool. Format is decimal (formatted to 3 decimal places). This value is an average of several values collected over an interval. The interval can be either between this time and the previous time you activated this workspace, or fixed (normally 60 seconds), depending on the configuration of the monitoring agent.
The average number of threads in the pool. Format is decimal (formatted to 3 decimal places). This value is an average of several values collected over an interval. The interval can be either between this time and the previous time you activated this workspace, or fixed (normally 60 seconds), depending on the configuration of the monitoring agent.
This value may exceed Maximum Pool Size in certain configurations where the pool is enabled to grow beyond the specified maximum size.
The instrumentation level for the thread pools. For WebSphere 6 or higher, the valid values are None, Basic, Extended, All, Custom. Blank if no instrumentation level is set.
The length (in seconds) of the sampling interval. Format is positive integer.
The configured maximum number of threads allowed in the pool. Format is positive integer.
The name of the system on which the server is running. Alphanumeric string.
The name of the server subnode. Alphanumeric string.
The average percentage of time that all threads were in use during the sampling interval. Format is decimal (formatted to 3 decimal places). This value is an average of several values collected over an interval. The interval can be either between this time and the previous time you activated this workspace, or fixed (normally 60 seconds), depending on the configuration of the monitoring agent.
The bad percent of pool usage by application. Format is positive integer.
The fair percent of pool usage by application. Format is positive integer.
The good percent of pool usage by application. Format is positive integer.
The date and time the Tivoli Enterprise Management Agent collected the data. The valid format is a 12-character timestamp. For the STR and SCAN functions, the format is MM/DD/YY HH:MM:SS; the following table shows the values contained in this character string:
Format of the 12-character timestamp
Character String Meaning MM Month DD Day YY Year HH Hour MM Minute SS Second
Example: 09/13/06 18:32:03 indicates the data was collected on September 13, 2006, at 18:32:03.
This attribute was designed for logging and reporting data-collection times rather than for creating situations. To specify a time and date for comparison and testing, use attributes from the Universal Time or Local Time groups.
The name of the WebSphere application server. Alphanumeric string.
Type
Indicates the WebSphere resource category, which is used by the agent to modify the Instrumentation Level for transaction data collection.
Whether this row is a summary row of statistical totals collected for all thread pools. The valid values are No and Yes.
Thread Creation Rate
(per sec)
The rate (per second) at which threads were created during the sampling interval. Format is decimal (formatted to 3 decimal places).
Thread Destruction Rate
(per sec)
The rate (per second) at which threads were destroyed during the sampling interval. Format is decimal (formatted to 3 decimal places).
The name of the thread pool. Alphanumeric string.
The number of threads created during the sampling interval. Format is positive integer.
The number of threads destroyed during the sampling interval. Format is positive integer.
