he Data Monitoring panel, located on the right side, enables the selection of multiple counters and displays the resulting performance data for the currently selected resource. It contains two panels: the Viewing Counter panel above and the Counter Selection panel below. If necessary, you can set the scaling factors by typing directly in the scale field.
The refresh operation is a local, not global, operation that applies only to selected resources. The refresh operation is recursive; all subordinate or children resources refresh when a selected resource refreshes. To refresh data:
Click one or more resources in the Resource Selection panel.
Click File > Refresh. Alternatively, click the Refresh icon or right-click the resource and select Refresh.
Clicking refresh with server selected under the viewer icon causes TPV to query the server for new PMI and product configuration information. Clicking refresh with server selected under the advisor icon causes TPV to refresh the advice provided, but will not refresh PMI or product configuration information.
Summary reports are available for each application server.
Before viewing reports, make sure data counters are enabled and monitoring levels are set properly.
The standard monitoring level enables all reports except the report on Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) methods. To enable an EJB methods report, specify Use synchronized update in the General properties section of the PMI services panel.
