IBM Tivoli Composite Application Manager for Application Diagnostics, Version 7.1.0.1
Thread Pools workspace
This workspace reports information about the various thread pools that support the applications running in your Java Virtual Machine (JVM).
This workspace displays data provided by the Thread Pools attributes.
- This 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:
- Highest Average Pool Sizes bar chart, which shows the largest thread pools in the JVM
- Average Thread Pool Usage bar chart, which shows the average active and free threads for each thread pool
- Thread Pools report
Shows information about the usage statistics for thread pools that belong to a WAS, such as average and maximum pool sizes and creation and destruction rates
