You can view the current performance activity of a server using the Tivoli Performance Viewer (TPV) in the administrative console.
Before you begin
TPV monitors the performance activity of all servers on a node, which can include the following:Why and when to perform this task
TPV enables administrators and programmers to monitor the current health of WebSphere Application Server. Because the collection and viewing of data occurs in the application server, performance is affected. To minimize performance impacts, monitor only those servers whose activity you want to monitor.Steps for this task
Option | Description |
Advisor | Use the Performance Advisor to examine various data while your application is running. The Performance Advisor provides advice to help tune systems for optimal performance and gives recommendations on inefficient settings by using collected PMI data. |
Settings | Configure user and logging settings for TPV. These settings can affect the performance of your application server. |
Summary Reports | View summary reports on servlets, enterprise beans (EJBs), EJB methods, connections pools and thread pools in WebSphere Application Server. |
Performance Modules | View performance modules that provide graphics and charts of various performance data on system resources such as CPU utilization, on WebSphere pools and queues such as database connection pools, and on customer application data such as servlet response time. In addition to providing a viewer for performance data, TPV enables you to view data for other products or customer applications that have implemented custom PMI. |
What to do next
When you finish monitoring a server, select the server and click Stop Monitoring. TPV automatically stops monitoring a server when it detects a long period of inactivity.Related concepts
