Web Services attributes
The attributes provide web services information.
The Web Services attributes display aggregated information about the web services, including the number of loaded web services, the number of requests delivered and processed, the request response time, and the average size of requests.
The attributes within this group are used to build the Web Services workspace.
- The attributes within this attribute group contain zeros for performance data if your site set configuration value Resource Data Collection Method to On Demand (for on-demand sampling) and you have not yet run applications that generate performance data. To report performance data in these attributes after installing and configuring the Data Collector, use the WebSphere® administrative console to set the appropriate PMI instrumentation level.
- The monitoring agent is set by default to provide on-demand sampling; thus the attributes within this attribute group initially contain zeros until you select the workspace and then select it again later. Each time you select the workspace, these attributes are updated with the latest data.
Dispatched Requests The number of requests the service dispatched or delivered. The valid format is a positive integer.
Dispatch Response Time The average response time, in milliseconds, to dispatch a request. The valid format is a decimal (formatted to 3 decimal places).
Instrumentation Level The instrumentation level for the web services counters. For WebSphere Version 6 or later, the valid values are None, Basic, Extended, All, Custom. Blank if no instrumentation level is set.
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 value 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.
Payload Size The average payload size in bytes of a received request or reply. The valid format is a positive integer.
Processed Requests The number of requests the service successfully processed. Valid format is a positive integer.
Received Requests The number of requests the service received. The valid format is a positive integer.
Reply Payload Size The average payload size (in bytes) of a reply. The valid format is a positive integer.
Reply Response Time The average response time, in milliseconds, to prepare a reply after dispatch. The valid format is a decimal (formatted to 3 decimal places).
Request Payload Size The average payload size, in bytes, of a request. The valid format is a positive integer.
Request Response Time The average response time, in milliseconds, to prepare a request for dispatch. The valid format is a decimal (formatted to 3 decimal places).
Response Time The average response time (in milliseconds) for a successful request. The valid format is a decimal (formatted to 3 decimal places).
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.
| 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.
Server Name The name of the application server. The valid format is an alphanumeric string, with a maximum of 256 characters.
Summary Whether this row is a summary row of statistical totals for all rows. Valid values are No and Yes.
Total Dispatch (ms) The total time (in milliseconds) the service dispatches requests. The valid format is a decimal (formatted to 3 decimal places).
Total Prepare (ms) The total time (in milliseconds) the service prepares requests. The valid format is a decimal (formatted to 3 decimal places).
Total Processing (ms) The total time (in milliseconds) the service processes requests. The valid format is a decimal (formatted to 3 decimal places).
Web Service The name of the web service. The valid format is an alphanumeric string, with a maximum of 256 characters.
