TIBCO Adapters Heatmap

Clicking All Adapters Heatmap in the left/navigation menu opens the TIBCO Adapters Heatmap, which provides an easy-to-view interface that allows you to quickly identify the current status of each of your adapters for each available metric. You can view the adapters in the heatmap based on the following metrics: the current alert severity, the current alert count, the messages received rate, the messages sent rate, the current messages sent (since the last data update), the current messages received (since the last data update), and the increase in errors (since the last data update). By default, this display shows the heatmap based on the Alert Severity metric.

Each rectangle in the heatmap represents an adapter. The rectangle color indicates the most critical alert state associated with the adapter. Choose a different metric to display from the Metric drop-down menu. Mouse over a rectangle to see additional metrics. By default, this display shows Alert Severity.

You can use the Show Agent check-box

to include or exclude labels in the heatmap, and you can mouse over a rectangle to see additional metrics for an adapter. Drill-down and investigate an engine by clicking a rectangle in the heatmap to view details in the TIBCO Adapter Summary display.

Fields and Data:
	Adapters	The number of adapters included in the display.
	Show Agent	Select this check box to display the names of the agents at the top of each rectangle in the heatmap.
	Log Scale	Select this check box to enable a logarithmic scale. Use Log Scale to see usage correlations for data with a wide range of values. For example, if a minority of your data is on a scale of tens, and a majority of your data is on a scale of thousands, the minority of your data is typically not visible in non-log scale graphs. Log Scale makes data on both scales visible by applying logarithmic values rather than actual values to the data.
	Auto Scale	Select to enable auto-scaling. When auto-scaling is activated, the color gradient bar's maximum range displays the highest value. Note: Some metrics auto-scale automatically, even when Auto Scale is not selected.
	Metric	Select the metric driving the heatmap display. The default is Alert Severity. Each Metric has a color gradient bar that maps values to colors. The heatmap organizes the servers by agent, where each rectangle represents an adapter. Mouse-over any rectangle to display the current values of the metrics for the adapter. Click on a rectangle to drill-down to the associated TIBCO Adapter Summary display for a detailed view of metrics for that particular adapter.
		Alert Severity	The current alert severity. Values range from 0 - 2, as indicated in the color gradient bar, where 2 is the highest Alert Severity: Red indicates that one or more metrics exceeded their ALARM LEVEL threshold. Yellow indicates that one or more metrics exceeded their WARNING LEVEL threshold. Green indicates that no metrics have exceeded their alert thresholds.
		Alert Count	The total number of critical and warning unacknowledged alerts in the adapters. The color gradient bar, populated by the current heatmap, shows the value/color mapping. The numerical values in the gradient bar range from 0 to the maximum count of alerts in the heatmap. The middle value in the gradient bar indicates the average alert count.
		Sent Msgs/s	The number of message sent per second. The color gradient bar shows the range of the value/color mapping. ated by the current heatmap, shows the value/color mapping. The numerical values in the gradient bar range from 0 to the defined alert threshold of TadAdapterMsgsSentRateHigh. The middle value in the gradient bar indicates the middle value of the range. When Auto Scale is checked, the numeric values in the color gradient bar show the range of the data being displayed rather than the default values. The middle value changes accordingly to indicate the color of the middle value of the range.
		Received Msgs/s	The number of messages received per second. The color gradient bar, populated by the current heatmap, shows the value/color mapping. The numerical values in the gradient bar range from 0 to the defined alert threshold of TadAdapterMsgsRcvdRateHigh. The middle value in the gradient bar indicates the middle value of the range. When Auto Scale is checked, the numeric values in the color gradient bar show the range of the data being displayed rather than the default values. The middle value changes accordingly to indicate the color of the middle value of the range.
		Current Sent Msgs	The increase in the number of messages sent (per second) from the previous polling period to the current polling period. The color gradient bar, populated by the current heatmap, shows the value/color mapping. The numerical values in the gradient bar range from 0 to the maximum number of messages sent. The middle value in the gradient bar indicates the middle value of the range. The Auto Scale check box does not impact this metric.
		Current Received Msgs	The increase in the number of messages received (per second) from the previous polling period to the current polling period. The color gradient bar, populated by the current heatmap, shows the value/color mapping. The numerical values in the gradient bar range from 0 to the maximum number of messages received. The middle value in the gradient bar indicates the middle value of the range. The Auto Scale check box does not impact this metric.
		Current Errors	The increase in the number of errors from the previous polling period to the current polling period. The color gradient bar, populated by the current heatmap, shows the value/color mapping. The numerical values in the gradient bar range from 0 to the defined alert threshold of TadAdapterDeltaErrorsHigh. The middle value in the gradient bar indicates the middle value of the range. When Auto Scale is checked, the numeric values in the color gradient bar show the range of the data being displayed rather than the default values. The middle value changes accordingly to indicate the color of the middle value of the range.
