Viewing message flow statistics and accounting data

You can use the web user interface to view snapshot statistics and accounting data for independent integration servers and managed integration servers (which are managed by an integration node). You can also report statistics and accounting data for independent integration servers and managed integration servers to the user trace log, IBM® MQ, and MQTT.

Before you begin

Read the topic Message flow statistics and accounting data.
Start message flow statistics collection, as described in Configuring the collection of message flow statistics by using a .yaml configuration file and Configuring the collection of message flow statistics by using the mqsichangeflowstats command.
For information about how to subscribe to message flow statistics and accounting data, read Subscribing to event message topics.

About this task

You can configure the statistics data to be published in a number of formats. For example, JSON, XML, CSV (for use in spreadsheets), and the user trace log.

Use the snapshot statistics and accounting data to monitor the performance of your integration servers at the message flow or message flow node level. You can view the statistics data for independent integration servers and managed integration servers in the App Connect Enterprise web user interface. The snapshot data that is displayed in the web user interface is updated automatically every 20 seconds. You can also report the data for independent integration servers or managed integration servers to the user trace log, IBM MQ, and MQTT.

For more information about how to start the web user interface for an integration server, see Accessing the web user interface.

You can display high-level statistical data that provides an overview of all the message flows in an integration server, or you can display statistical information that relates to a specific message flow. The level of information that is displayed depends on the type of resource that you select.

You can use the statistics data in these views to compare the performance of message flows in your applications. You can also use it to help you identify the possible reasons for reduced performance in a message flow.
