Resource statistics data: Global Cache

Learn about the data that is returned for the Global Cache resource type when you activate resource statistics collection.

You can view these statistics in the web user interface, or you can write a program that subscribes to a publication (single XML message) that returns this data. For an example of the publication message, see Example XML output.

The global cache resource manager contains data about the interactions between message flows in a named integration server and the cache. Statistics are available for all activity in the embedded global cache and external WebSphere® eXtreme Scale grids. One line of statistics is shown for each configurable service that is used to connect to an external grid.

The following table describes the measurements that are returned.
Measurements Description
ConnectionFailures The number of failed attempts to connect from this integration server to the named cache.
Connects The number of successful attempts that were made from this integration server to the named cache.
FailedActions The number of failed map operations by message flows in this integration server on the named cache.
MapReads The total number of read operations that were completed by message flows in this integration server on the named cache.
MapRemoves The total number of remove operations that were completed by message flows in this integration server on the named cache. This count is incremented by removing or updating an entry.
MapsUsed The total number of maps that are used by message flows in this integration server in the named cache. This count is incremented each time a different map name is used in this integration server.
MapWrites The total number of write operations that were completed by message flows in this integration server on the named cache. This count is incremented by putting or updating an entry.
Name The name of the WebSphere eXtreme Scale grid for this cache.

For the embedded global cache, this name is "WMB". For an external grid, this name consists of the name of the configurable service that is used to connect to the grid, and the name of the grid itself. For example, if you use a configurable service called "xc10" to connect to a grid called "Grid1", this name property has the value xc10 (Grid1).

TotalMapActions The total number of map operations that were completed by message flows in this integration server on the named cache. This number includes reads, writes, removes, and key checks.
