Spaces

These displays present performance metrics and alert status for your TIBCO ActiveSpaces spaces. Clicking Spaces from the left/navigation menu opens the TIBCO ActiveSpaces 2 Spaces Table display, which shows all available utilization metrics for all spaces within a particular metaspace. The options available under Spaces are:

• All Spaces Heatmap: Opens the TIBCO ActiveSpaces 2 Spaces Heatmap , which shows a heatmap view of all spaces contained within a particular metaspace.
• Space Summary: Opens the TIBCO ActiveSpaces 2 Space Summary display, which allows you to view metrics and trend data for a particular space.

 

TIBCO ActiveSpaces 2 Spaces Table

The table in this display provides a view of all of your spaces and their associated metric data including domain, metaspace, space, alert level, alert count, and the current value of each gathered metric. You can click a column header to sort column data in numerical or alphabetical order, and drill-down and investigate by double-clicking a row to view details for the selected space in the TIBCO ActiveSpaces 2 Space Summary display.

 

Note: Fields/columns with an asterisk (*) at the end of the field/column definition contain data that is provided by the selected domain. Refer to TIBCO ActiveSpaces documentation for more information regarding these fields.

TIBCO ActiveSpaces 2 Spaces Heatmap

Clicking All Spaces Heatmap in the left/navigation menu opens the TIBCO ActiveSpaces 2 Spaces Heatmap, which provides an easy-to-view interface that allows you to quickly identify the current status of each of your spaces for each available metric. You can view the spaces in the heatmap based on the following metrics: current alert severity, entries, gets per second, puts per second, takes per second, expires per second, and evicts per second. By default, this display shows the heatmap based on the Alert Severity metric.

The heatmap is organized so that each rectangle represents a space. The rectangle color indicates the most critical alert state. Click on a node to drill-down to the TIBCO ActiveSpaces 2 Space Summary display and view metrics for a particular space. Toggle between the commonly accessed displays by clicking the drop down list on the display title. Mouse-over rectangles to view more details about space performance and status.

 

 

Filter By:

 

Domain

Select the domain for which you want to see data.

Log Scale

Select this check box to use a logarithmic scale, rather than a linear scale, to map from the selected metric value for a cell to the color for the cell. Log Scale provides another way to distribute and differentiate values that you might not be able to see on a linear scale due to the dominant nature of large values in a linear scale.

 

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 is organized by spaces, where each rectangle represents a space. Mouse-over any rectangle to display the current values of the metrics for the space. Click on a rectangle to drill-down to the associated TIBCO ActiveSpaces 2 Space Summary display for a detailed view of metrics for that particular space.

 

 

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 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.

 

 

Entries

The total number of entries in the space. 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 TasSpaceEntriesHigh. The middle value in the gradient bar indicates the middle value of the range.

 

 

Gets/sec

The number of gets 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 TasSpaceGetRateHigh. The middle value in the gradient bar indicates the middle value of the range.

 

 

Puts/sec

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 TasSpacePutRateHigh. The middle value in the gradient bar indicates the middle value of the range.

TIBCO ActiveSpaces 2 Space Summary

Clicking Single Space in the left/navigation menu opens the TIBCO ActiveSpaces 2 Space Summary display, which provides a view of the current and historical metrics for a single space. Clicking on the information boxes at the top of the display takes you to the TIBCO ActiveSpaces 2 Spaces Table , where you can view additional cluster/event data. There are two options in the trend graph region: Activity Level and Exceptions. In the Activity Level trend graph region, you can view “gets” rate, “puts” rate, and “takes” rate over a selected time range. In the Exceptions trend graph region, you can view “expires” rate and “evicts” rate over a selected time range. Clicking the Critical/Warning link at the bottom of the display opens the Alerts Table by Component display.

 

Note: Fields/columns with an asterisk (*) at the end of the field/column definition contain data that is provided by the selected domain. Refer to TIBCO ActiveSpaces documentation for more information regarding these fields.

 

Filter By:

The display might include these filtering options:

 

Domain

Select the domain for which you want to show data in the display.

 

Metaspace

Select the metaspace for which you want to show data in the display.

 

Space

Select the space for which you want to show data in the display.

Fields and Data:

 

Seeders

The number of seeders in the space.*

 

Members

The total number of members associated with the space.*

 

Invokes/Misses

The total number of invocations and the total number of misses on the user-spaces defined for the space.*

 

Gets/s

The number of “get” operations received per second.

 

Puts/s

The number of “put” operations received per second.

 

Total Locks/Unlocks

The total number of locks and unlocks in the user-spaces defined for the space.*

Trend Graphs

Activity Level

Gets/s -- traces the number of gets per second.

Puts/s -- traces the number of puts per second.

Takes/s -- traces the number of takes per second.

Exceptions

Expires/s -- traces the number of expires per second.

Evicts/s -- traces the number of evicts per second.

 

 

Use Rates

Select this check box to trace the rates (Gets/s, Puts/s, Takes/s, Expires/s, Evicts/s) instead of the total numbers (Gets, Puts, Takes, Expires, Evicts).

 

 

Log Scale

Select 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.

 

 

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.
