Overview

The Tivoli Performance Viewer (TPV) enables administrators and programmers to monitor the overall health of WAS without leaving the administrative console.

From TPV, one can view current activity or log Performance Monitoring Infrastructure (PMI) performance data. TPV provides a simple viewer for the performance data gathered by the Performance Monitoring Infrastructure for WebSphere Application Server.

 

Procedure

1. Optional: Adjust the PMI settings for the servers that you want to monitor. The PMI service is enabled by default with a basic set of counters enabled.

2. Monitor current server activity. We can view real-time data on the current performance activity of a server using TPV in the administrative console.

   • Use the performance advisors to examine various data while your application is running. The performance advisor in TPV provides advice to help tune systems for optimal performance and gives recommendations on inefficient settings by using collected PMI data.

   • Configure user and logging settings for TPV. These settings can affect the performance of your application server.

   • View summary reports on servlets, EJB methods, connections pools and thread pools in WebSphere Application Server.

   • 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.

3. View server performance logs. We can view data that has been logged by TPV in the administrative console. Be sure to configure user and log settings for TPV.

4. Log performance data. We can store real-time data in log files for later retrieval and analysis.
