Baseline attributes

The attributes provide information for baseline extract data.

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.

The attributes within this group are used to build the Selected Request - Baseline workspace.

Application ID The unique identifier that is assigned automatically when the application is first configured and is preserved during the whole application life cycle. The valid format is a positive integer.

Bad Hits (%) The percentage of bucket hits in the metric bad value zone. The valid format is a positive integer.

Bucket Number The bucket number of the baselining data. The valid format is a positive integer.

EJB (%) The average percent of time that bucket requests were executed inside EJB container. The valid format is a positive integer.

Fair Hits (%) The percentage of bucket hits in the metric fair value zone. The valid format is a positive integer.

Good Hits (%) The percentage of bucket hits in the metric good value zone. The valid format is a positive integer.

Hits (%) The percentage of hits for the bucket during the baselining. The valid format is a positive integer.

Interval (sec) The length (in seconds) of the sampling interval. The valid format is a positive integer.

JCA (%) The average percent of time that bucket requests spent for JCA access. The valid format is a positive integer.

JDBC (%) The average percent of time that bucket requests spent for JDBC access. The valid format is a positive integer.

JMS (%) The average percent of time that bucket requests spent for JMS access. The valid format is a positive integer.

JNDI (%) The average percent of time that bucket requests spent for JNDI access. The valid format is a positive integer.

Lower Boundary (msec) The lower boundary of bucket response times in milliseconds. The valid format is a positive integer.

Metric ID The metric identifier of the baselining data. The valid format is a positive integer.

Metric Type The metric type of the baselining data. Valid formats are Request, Error, and Resource.

Node Name The name of the system on which the server is running. The valid format is an alphanumeric string, with a maximum of 256 characters.

Origin Node The name of the server subnode. The valid format is an alphanumeric string, with a maximum of 128 characters.

Portal (%) The average percent of time that bucket requests were executed inside portal container. The valid format is a positive integer.

Response Time Mean (msec) The mean time of bucket response times. The valid format is a positive integer.

Sample Date and Time The date and time the monitoring 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:

Table 1. 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.

Selection Hits (%) The percentage of bucket hits in the metric selection value zone. The valid format is a positive integer.

Server Name The name of the application server. The valid format is an alphanumeric string, with a maximum of 256 characters.

Servlet JSP (%) The average percent of time that bucket requests were executed inside the servlet container. The valid format is a positive integer.

Total Hits The total hits number for the bucket during the baselining. The valid format is a positive integer.

Upper Boundary (msec) The upper boundary of bucket response times. The valid format is a positive integer.
