PMI client interface (deprecated)

The data provided by the Performance Monitoring Infrastructure (PMI) client interface is documented here.

Access to the PMI client interface data is provided in a hierarchical structure. Descending from the object are node information objects, module information objects, CpdCollection objects and CpdData objects. Using v5.0, you will get Stats and Statistic objects. The node and server information objects contain no performance data, only static information.PMI Data" />

Each time a client retrieves performance data from a server, the data is returned in a subset of this structure; the form of the subset depends on the data retrieved. We can update the entire structure with new data, or update only part of the tree, as needed.

The JMX statistic data model is supported, as well as the existing CPD data model from v4.0. When you retrieve performance data using the Version 5.0 PMI client API, you get the Stats object, which includes Statistic objects and optional sub-Stats objects. When you use the v4.0 PMI client API to collect performance data, you get the CpdCollection object, which includes the CpdData objects and optional sub-CpdCollection objects.

The following are additional Performance Monitoring Infrastructure (PMI) interfaces:

The following PMI interfaces introduced in v4.0 are also supported:

The CpdLong maps to CountStatistic; CpdStat maps to Time Statistic; CpdCollection maps to Stats; and CpdLoad maps to RangeStatistic and BoundedRangeStatistic.

Note: v4.0 PmiClient APIs are supported in this version, however, there are some changes. The data hierarchy is changed in some PMI modules, notably the enterprise bean module and HTTP sessions module. If we have an existing PmiClient application, and to run it against Version 5.0, you might have to update the PerfDescriptor(s) based on the new PMI data hierarchy. Also, the getDataName and getDataId methods in PmiClient are changed to be non-static methods in order to support multiple WAS versions. You might have to update your existing application which uses these two methods.
Use PMI client to develop your monitoring application (deprecated)
