Web Services workspace

This workspace displays data provided by both the Web Services attributes and the Web Services Gate Way attributes.

The Web Services workspace displays information about the data counters of the web services.

The examples of the information include the number of loaded web services, the number of requests delivered and processed, the request response time, and the average size of requests.

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:
  • Worst Response Times bar chart, which displays the worst average response times (in milliseconds) for the selected web services
  • Most Popular bar chart, which shows the exception and request rates (in events per second) for the selected services
  • Web Services report, which displays aggregated performance data for each web service, including requests, response times, and payload sizes
  • Web Service Gateway report, which displays aggregated performance data for each web service gateway, including the number of synchronous and asynchronous requests and responses

Accessing the Web Services workspace

To access this workspace, complete the following steps:
  1. Within the Navigator, expand Windows Systems, Linux® Systems, z/OS® Systems, or UNIX Systems, as appropriate for the node you are monitoring.
  2. Within the node list, expand the entry that corresponds to the node that you want to select.
  3. Within that node list of monitored applications, expand the list of WebSphere agents.
  4. Within the list of available agents, expand the WebSphere Application Server of your choice.
  5. Within that server list of available WebSphere Application Server workspaces, click the Web Services entry.

Selected Web Services - History workspace

The Selected Web Services - History workspace displays the historical information that corresponds to the information in the Web Services workspace for a selected web service. Historical information is collected over a particular measured time span. See the online help for IBM® Cloud Pak System Software Monitoring Portal for a detailed explanation of historical reporting.

Accessing the Selected Web Services - History workspace

To access this workspace from the Web Services workspace, use one of the following procedures:
  • From the Web Services report, right-click the link icon and from the menu, click Selected Web Services - History.
  • From the Worst Response Times bar chart, or the Most Popular bar chart, right-click any bar; then, from the menu, click Link To > Selected Web Services - History.
