The WebSphere® Portal Server workspace displays overall statistics for each application server being monitored by the monitoring agent.

The predefined workspace contains the following items:

  • Heap Usage - History bar chart, which displays free memory size and used memory size (in kilo bytes) within the WebSphere Application Server's heap over time. The chart's flyovers display the exact values

    This view displays data provided by the Garbage Collection Analysis attributes.

  • Response Time - History graph, which shows the server response time to requests over time

    This view displays data provided by the Request Times and Rates attributes.

  • Request Rate - History graph, which shows the rate at which requests have been received by this server over time

  • Percent CPU Used - History graph, which shows the percentage of the CPU that this server consumed over time

    This view displays data provided by the Application Server attributes.

  • Application Server Summary report, which displays overall information about this WebSphere application server, including JVM statistics and CPU usage statistics

    This view displays data provided by the Application Server attributes. In the Application Server Summary report, each row represents a different region. When you right-click the link for a row, you can choose to go to Selected Region - Application Server Summary, Selected Region - Request Analysis, Selected Region - Application Health Status, Selected Region - Datasources, Selected Region - Log Analysis, Selected Region - JMS Summary, Selected Region - Portal Summary, Selected Region - Portlet Summary.
