Messaging Engine Communications workspace

This workspace displays data provided by the Messaging Engine Communications attributes.

This workspace provides aggregated counter statistics for all the messaging engines being hosted by the current application server. WebSphere® Application Server Version 5.1 based products do not support this workspace.

Notes:
  • This workspace reports blanks for resource data on the first invocation if PMI data collection is configured for on-demand sampling (that is, if your site set configuration value Resource Data Collection Method to On Demand) or if you have not yet run applications that generate PMI resource data. To report resource data in this workspace after installing and configuring the data collector, use the WebSphere administrative console to set the appropriate PMI instrumentation level.
  • Because of high processor usage, the monitoring agent provides on-demand sampling by default. To activate PMI monitoring, you must first select this workspace and then select it again later. Each time you select the workspace, it displays the data collected during the interval between selections.
The predefined workspace contains the following items:
  • Situation Event Console report, which shows the event activity for situations associated with the current Navigator item and any items within the branch. The Navigator alerts you when a situation becomes true by overlaying the Navigator item with an event indicator. This report is useful when multiple alerts are raised and you might not know newly arrived alerts just by looking at the indicator.
  • Messaging Engine Communications report, which displays information about the messaging engine communications, including API connections, errors, reads, writes, message written and message read.
