Requests Monitoring Configuration attributes

The attributes provide information for all requests monitored in an application.

Use the Requests Monitoring Configuration attributes to monitor application edge requests. The agent supports three types of edge requests, Servlet/JSP, EJB, and Portal.

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

Application Name The name of the application to which the request belongs. The valid format is an alphanumeric string, with a maximum of 256 characters.

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.

Application Tier Threshold (msec) The response time threshold in the application tier in milliseconds. The valid format is a positive integer.

Auto Threshold Bad Projection (%) The bad response time projection used for auto threshold. The valid format is a positive integer.

Auto Threshold Fair Ratio The percentage to derive the fair response time threshold from the baseline selection. The valid format is a positive integer.

Auto Threshold Fair Projection (%) The fair response time projection used for auto threshold. The valid format is a positive integer.

Auto Threshold Mode The request auto threshold mode. Valid values are Default, Custom, and Disabled.

Auto Threshold Deviation (%) The maximum allowed deviation of requests baseline data used for auto threshold. The valid format is a positive integer.

Auto Threshold Percent (%) The minimum percent of requests baseline data used for auto threshold. The valid format is a positive integer.

Backend Tier Threshold (msec) The response time threshold in the backend tier in milliseconds. The valid format is a positive integer.

Bad Response Threshold (msec) The time (in milliseconds) that defines the bad requests. A request that spends more time than this threshold to complete is a bad request. Use this attribute with Fair Response Threshold (msec) attribute and Fair Response Zone (msec) attribute. The valid format is a positive integer.

Bad Errors Rate Threshold The value of bad error rate percentage. The valid format is a positive integer.

Baselined Request Count The total number of requests accumulated in the baseline. This counter shows the data since the baseline starts. The valid format is a positive integer.

Client Tier Threshold (msec) The response time threshold in the client tier in milliseconds. The valid format is a positive integer.

Fair Response Threshold (msec) The time (in milliseconds) that defines the fair requests. A request that spends less time than this threshold to complete is a good request. Use this attribute with Fair Response Zone (msec) attribute and Bad Response Threshold (msec) attribute. The valid format is a positive integer.

Fair Response Zone (msec) The time span (in milliseconds) that defines the fair requests. This time span is between the fair response time threshold and the bad time threshold. If the response time of a request falls into this time span, the request is a fair request. Use this attribute with Fair Response Threshold (msec) attribute and Bad Response Threshold (msec) attribute. The valid format is a positive integer.

Fair Errors Rate Threshold The value of fair error rate percentage. The valid format is a positive integer.

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

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.

Request Detail The request detail name. The valid format is an alphanumeric string, with a maximum of 256 characters.

Request ID The unique identifier of the request that belongs to the application. The valid format is a positive integer.

Request Label A shortened version of Request Name, used to display the request name in the chart view. The valid format is an alphanumeric string, with a maximum of 24 characters.

Request Name The URL for servlet requests, or the fully qualified class name for EJBs. The valid format is an alphanumeric string, with a maximum of 256 characters.

Request Type The type of request being run. Valid values are All, Servlet/JSP, EJB, and Portal.

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.

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.

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