Application Dashboard (Basic) tab

The Application Dashboard (Basic) tab contains the following fields:

  • Application Fair Completion Rate Threshold (%) - Defines the default completion percentage for application fair availability threshold.
  • Application Bad Completion Rate Threshold (%) - Defines the default completion percentage for application bad availability threshold.
  • Application Fair Resource Usage Threshold (%) - Defines the threshold percentage for fair usage level of an application resource.
  • Application Bad Resource Usage Threshold (%) - Defines the threshold percentage for bad usage level of an application resource.
  • Application Resource Usage Monitoring Cutoff Threshold (%) - Defines the cutoff threshold percentage for application resources usage monitoring.
  • Request Monitoring Control Level - Specifies the request monitoring control level for the server. The following entries can be entered to this field:
    • Application Request monitoring settings are defined for each application independently.
    • Server Request monitoring settings are defined on the server level

The Request Monitoring Control Level option gives you more control over request monitoring settings. In certain sequences, you can benefit from locking the request monitoring control on the server level, because you can change data collector monitoring level in one place.

In Monitoring Agent for WebSphere® Applications, the request data monitoring level (Level1 or Level2) that displays depends on the Request Monitoring Control Level setting you choose.
  • If you select the Request Monitoring Control Level as Application (the default setting), the monitoring level is set separately for every application. For a newly discovered application, the current monitoring level for the agent is applied. Therefore, to display Level2 data for an application in the Monitoring Agent for WebSphere Applications, you must set the monitoring level for the application using the Set_Application_Monitoring: Set monitoring Take Action command.
  • If you select the Request Monitoring Control Level as Server, the level is set for the server and affects all applications. If you set the Request Data Monitoring Level at Level2 using the Start_Request_Monitoring: Begin reporting requst data Take Action command, the Request Data Monitoring Level for all the applications in this server is Level2. While you can still use the Set_Application_Monitoring Take Action command to set the monitoring level for an individual application, the level does not apply as a server-wide level is in operation. To apply the levels set for individual applications, change the Request Monitoring Control Level setting to Application.
