Viewing statistics with the web console

You can monitor statistics and other performance information with the web console.

Before you begin

Before you can view statistics with the web console, you must complete the following tasks:

Start the web console server. See Starting and logging on to the web console for more information.
Connect your catalog servers to the web console server. See Connecting the web console to catalog servers for more information.
Run active data grids and applications within the servers that are managed by your catalog service domain.

About this task

After you create your data grids and configure your applications to use the data grids, allow some time to pass for the statistics to become available. For example, with a dynamic cache data grid, statistics are not available until a WebSphere® Application Server that is running a dynamic cache connects to the dynamic cache. In general, wait up to one minute after a major configuration change to see the changes in your statistics.

Tip: To view more specific information about any data point in a chart, you can move the mouse pointer over the data point.

Procedure

To view the current server statistics, click Monitor > Server Overview.
To view the performance of all of your data grids, click Monitor > Data grid domain overview.
To view individual data grids, click Monitor > Data grid overview > data_grid_name.
This page shows a summary that includes the number of cache entries, the average transaction time, and average throughput.
To view further details about a specific data grid, click Monitor > Data grid details.
A tree displays with all of the data grids in your configuration. You can drill down into a specific data grid to view the maps that are a part of that data grid. You can either click a data grid name or a map for further information.
To choose which statistics you would like your custom report to contain, click Monitor > Custom reports.

Use this view to construct detailed data charts of the various statistics. Use the tree to explore the available data grids and servers and their associated statistics. A menu opens when you click or press enter on a node that references data that can be charted. Create a new chart containing the statistics, or add the statistics into an existing chart with compatible statistics. See Monitoring with custom reports for more information.
