WebSphere Applications agent reports

Predefined reports are available for data that is collected by the WebSphere® Applications agent.

Scope of the WebSphere Applications agent report:

Supported subnodes

WebSphere Application Server (KYNS)
WebSphere Portal Server (KYNR)

Unsupported subnodes

WebSphere Process Server (KYNP)

The data for the reports is stored in the WAREHOUS Db2 database. The reports display hourly, daily, weekly, and monthly data which is retained for 1 month, 3 months, 1 year , and 1 year respectively. Cloud APM does not provide scripts or instructions to change these retention periods. The following reports are available for data that is collected by the WebSphere Applications agent:

Application Request Performance

Description: This report analyzes how applications perform at an aggregated level across an application server. The pie-chart shows the aggregate level requests for applications. The bar chart shows the average response time for applications at an aggregate level. The two time series line charts show the average response time and total request count trend for all of the applications. To drill down into the individual requests for an application, click a pie slice or a bar.
Parameters: Date Range: select one of the predefined reporting periods or select exact start and end times from the calendar.; Required parameters: Summarization Type and Application Server Type
Tables Used: Request_Analysis_*V

DB Connection Pools

Description: This report analyzes database connection pools in an application server. The table shows the key statistics for all the connection pools at an aggregate level. When you select a specific data source, two trend charts show the trend of the key statistics.
Parameters: Date Range: select one of the predefined reporting periods or select exact start and end times from the calendar.; Required parameters: Summarization Type, Application Server Name
Tables Used: DB_Connection_Pools_*V

EJB Performance

Description: This report analyzes how EJBs deployed in the application server perform. The pie chart shows the aggregate level method count for the EJBs. The bar chart shows the average Method Response Time across EJBs at an aggregate level. The Two Time series charts show the Method Invocation Count trend and Average Method Response Time trend for all EJBs. The trend lines can be filtered per EJB by clicking a row from the list.
Parameters: Date Range: select one of the predefined reporting periods or select exact start and end times from the calendar.; Required parameters: Summarization Type, Application Server Name
Tables Used: Enterprise_Java_Beans_*V

GC Usage of Application Server

Description: This report analyzes garbage collection. Use this report to determine whether garbage collection is creating problems or if the heap is not sized properly. The first graph shows the average heap percent that is used and the average real-time percent garbage collection over time. The second graph shows the average real-time percent garbage collection runs and the average garbage collection rate.
Parameters: Date Range: select one of the predefined reporting periods or select exact start and end times from the calendar.; Required parameters: Summarization Type, Application Server Type
Tables Used: Garbage_Collection_Analysis_*V

JVM Usage for Application Server

Description: This report analyzes how the JVM of an application server performs. The stacked bar chart shows how the JVM Memory is used and is freed up. The dual line chart shows the JVM CPU consumption vis-a-vis JVM Memory usage.
Parameters: Date Range: select one of the predefined reporting periods or select exact start and end times from the calendar.; Required parameters: Summarization Type, Application Server Type
Tables Used: Application_Server_*V

Threadpools

Description: This report analyzes thread pools in an application server. The table shows the key statistics for all thread pools at an aggregate level. Once you select a thread pool from the list, the trend chart shows the trending of the key statistics for the selected Thread Pool. If no thread pool is selected, the trends show summary of all the thread pools.
Parameters: Date Range: select one of the predefined reporting periods or select exact start and end times from the calendar; Required parameters: Summarization Type, Application Server Type
Tables Used: Thread_Pools_*V

Web Application Performance

Description: This report analyzes how the applications perform in the web container of an application server (PMI Data). The pie charts show the aggregate level requests for the applications. The bar chart shows the average response time for applications at an aggregate level. The two time series line charts show the Average Response time and Total Request count trend for all the applications. Click a pie slice or a bar or a line to drill down into the individual servlet/jsps for that application.
Parameters: Date Range: select one of the predefined reporting periods or select exact start and end times from the calendar.; Required parameters: Summarization Type, Application Server Type
Tables Used: Thread_Pools_*V

Application Request Performance for Clusters

Description: This report analyzes how servers in a cluster are performing. The first chart shows the number of requests that are completed by each of the cluster members during the selected time interval. The second chart provides information about the average response time trend for each of the cluster members. There is a separate line in this chart for each server in the cluster. Click a line to drill down into the individual server data. The Application Request Performance report for this server opens
Parameters: Date Range: select one of the predefined reporting periods or select exact start and end times from the calendar.; Required parameters: Summarization Type, Cluster Name
Tables Used: Request_Analysis_*V

JVM and GC Usage for Clusters

Description: This report analyzes JVM and garbage collection usage trends by each of the cluster members. The first chart shows the average real-time percent garbage collection runs. The second chart shows average heap percent used. The last charts show CPU and JVM memory usage. All of these charts show data for each cluster member as a separate line.
Parameters: Date Range: select one of the predefined reporting periods or select exact start and end times from the calendar.; Required parameters: Summarization Type, Cluster Name
Tables Used: Garbage_Collection_Analysis_*V, Application_server_*V

Top applications with slowest response times across servers

Description: This report analyzes how the applications perform at an aggregated level across all application servers. A bar chart shows the average response time for applications at an aggregate level.
Parameters: Date Range: select one of the predefined reporting periods or select exact start and end times from the calendar.; Required parameters: Summarization Type, Number of Applications
