BE Events

These displays present performance metrics and alert status for your BusinessEvents events. Clicking BE Events from the left/navigation menu opens the TIBCO BE Events Table display, which shows all available utilization metrics for all BE events. The options available under BE Events are:

Event Summary: Opens the TIBCO BE Agent Event Summary display, which shows information for a single BE event.
Event Cache Hits: Opens the TIBCO BE Event Cache Hits Table display, which
Event Hit Summary: Opens the TIBCO BE Event Hit Summary display, which

 

TIBCO BE Events Table

View run-time statistics for a selected group of agents. With TIBCO BusinessEvents, events are cached when they are out of scope, and deleted or persisted to the backing store when they are no longer useful. Double-clicking on a row in the table displays access patterns over time for the event in the TIBCO BE Agent Event Summary display. Each row in the table contains data for a particular event. Click a column header to sort column data in ascending or descending order. Toggle between the commonly accessed Table and Summary displays by clicking the drop down list on the display title.

NOTE: Events cause rules to execute in the BusinessEvents Rete network. Events can be created by external phenomena, such as the arrival of a JMS message, or internally when rules are processed. When an event enters the Rete network, it causes a run-to-completion cycle which continues until no further rules can be processed. Each named event that can be handled by a BusinessEvents application is specified at build time in BusinessEvents studio. For details, refer to TIBCO documentation.

Agent Events Table:

Each row in the table is a different event. Data in the row columns describe the event. The following fields are added by Monitor collection. The assertions/sec, modified/sec, and retracted/sec metrics are calculated from the corresponding counters as the delta between two successive samples divided by the polling interval.

Note: Row columns in this table with an asterisk (*) at the end of the column definition contain data that is provided by the TIBCO MBean interface. Refer to TIBCO documentation for more information regarding these columns.

TIBCO BE Agent Event Summary

Clicking Event Summary in the left/navigation menu opens the TIBCO BE Agent Event Summary display, which allows you to view detailed performance metrics for an agent’s event.

Clicking on the information boxes at the top of the display takes you to the TIBCO BE Events Table display, where you can view additional event data. There are three options in the trend graph region: Time in RTC, Agent Rates, and Channel Rates. In the Time in RTC trend graph region, you can view the average amount of time taken for the event to begin its run to completion cycle, the average amount of time taken for the event to complete (once it has started) its run to completion cycle, and the average amount of time taken by the event after its run to completion cycle has ended over a selected time range. In the Agent Rates trend graph region, you can view rate of event assertions into the Rete network via the agent, the rate of event retractions/deletions from the Rete network via the agent, and the rate of event modifications in the Rete network via the agent over a selected time range. In the Channel Rates trend graph region, you can view rate of event assertions into the Rete network via the channel, the rate of event retractions/deletions from the Rete network via the channel, and the rate of event modifications in the Rete network via the channel over a selected time range.

Trend Graphs

Time in RTC

Shows metrics for the selected event:

Avg Time Pre RTC s -- Traces the average amount of time taken for the event to begin its run to completion cycle.

Avg Time in RTC s -- Traces the average amount of time taken for the event to complete (once it has started) its run to completion cycle.

Avg Time Post RTC s -- Traces the average amount of time taken by the event after its run to completion cycle has ended.

Agent Rates

Shows metrics for the selected event:

Assertions/s -- Traces the rate of event assertions, per second, via the agents.

Retractions/s -- Traces the rate of event retractions, per second, via the agents.

Modified/s -- Traces the rate of events modified, per second, via the agents.

Channel Rates

Shows metrics for the selected event:

Assertions/s -- Traces the rate of events asserted, per second, via the channel.

Retractions/s -- Traces the rate of events retracted, per second, via the channel.

Modified/s -- Traces the rate of events modified, per second, via the channel.

 

 

Use Rates

When selected, this toggle allows you to view data in the trend graph in counts per second (asserted count per second, retracted count per second, and modified count per second) instead of the default counts per selected interval (asserted count, retracted count, modified count).

 

 

Log Scale

This option should be used when the range of your data is very broad. When checked, the values are displayed using a logarithmic scale rather than using the actual values so that data on the extreme ends of the scale can be viewed more effectively. For example, if you have data that ranges from the tens to the thousands, the data in the range of the tens will be neglected visually if you do not check this option.

 

 

 

Time Settings

Select a time range from the drop down menu varying from 5 Minutes to Last 7 Days. By default, the time range end point is the current time.

 

To change the time range, deselect the now toggle, which displays some additional date fields. You can click the left and right arrow buttons to decrease the end time by one time period (the time selected in the Time range drop down) per click, or you can choose the date and time from the associated calendar and clock icons. You can also enter the date and time in the text field using the following format: MMM dd, YYYY HH:MM:ss. For example, Aug 21, 2018 12:24 PM. Click the now toggle to reset the time range end point to the current time.

TIBCO BE Event Hit Summary

Clicking Event Hit Summary in the left/navigation menu opens the TIBCO BE Event Hit Summary display, which allows you to view detailed event performance metrics for a single cluster or All Clusters, a node, and an event.

NOTE: Events cause rules to execute in the BusinessEvents Rete network. Events can be created by external phenomena, such as the arrival of a JMS message, or internally when rules are processed. When an event enters the Rete network, it causes a run-to-completion cycle which continues until no further rules can be processed. Each named event that can be handled by a BusinessEvents application is specified at build time in BusinessEvents studio. For details, refer to TIBCO documentation.

There are two options in the trend graph region: Hit Rates and Current Hits. In the Hit Rates trend graph region, you can view the number of “get” operations per second, the number of “put” operations per second, and the number of “remove” operations per second over a selected time range. In the Current Hits trend graph region, you can view the number of “get” operations, the number of “put” operations, and the number of “remove” operations over a selected time range. Clicking the Critical/Warning link at the bottom of the display opens the Alerts Table by Component display.
