BW5 Servers

These displays present performance metrics and alert status for all BW5 servers. Clicking BW5 Servers from the left/navigation menu opens the TIBCO BusinessWorks 5 Servers Table display, which shows all available utilization metrics for all BW5 servers. The options available under BW5 Servers are:

• All Servers Heatmap: Opens the TIBCO BusinessWorks 5 Servers Heatmap , which shows server and alert status for all BW5 servers.
• BW5 Server Summary: Opens the TIBCO BusinessWorks 5 Server Summary display, which shows information for a single BW5 server.

TIBCO BusinessWorks 5 Servers Table

Investigate detailed utilization metrics for all BW servers. The TIBCO BusinessWorks 5 Servers Table contains all metrics available for servers, including CPU usage percentage, free memory, and percentage of virtual memory used. Each row in the table contains data for a particular server. Click a column header to sort column data in ascending or descending order. Double-click on a table row to drill-down to the TIBCO BusinessWorks 5 Server Summary display and view metrics for that particular server. Toggle between the commonly accessed Table and Heatmap displays by clicking the drop down list on the display title.

TIBCO BusinessWorks 5 Servers Heatmap

Clicking All Servers Heatmap in the left/navigation menu opens the TIBCO BW5 Servers Heatmap, which allows you to view the status and alerts of all BW5 servers. Use the Metric drop-down menu to view the Alert Severity, Alert Count, CPU Used Percentage, Virtual Memory Used Percentage, Free Memory, Deployed Engines, or Active Engines.

The heatmap is organized by host with each rectangle representing a server. The rectangle color indicates the most critical alert state. Click on a node to drill-down to the TIBCO BusinessWorks 5 Server Summary display and view metrics for a particular server. Toggle between the commonly accessed Table and Heatmap displays by clicking the drop down list on the display title. Mouse-over rectangles to view more details about host performance and status.

 

 

Fields and Data:

 

Servers:

The total number of servers in the display.

 

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.

 

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 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 host, where each rectangle represents a server. Mouse-over any rectangle to display the current values of the metrics for the Server. Click on a rectangle to drill-down to the associated TIBCO BusinessWorks 5 Server Summary display for a detailed view of metrics for that particular server.

 

 

Alert Severity

The maximum level of alerts in the heatmap rectangle. 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 alerts in the heatmap rectangle. 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.

 

 

CPU Used%

The percent (%) CPU used in the heatmap rectangle. 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 alert threshold of BwServersCpuUsedHigh, which is 100. The middle value in the gradient bar indicates the middle value of the range (the default is 50).

 

 

V(irtual) Memory Used%

The percent (%) virtual memory used in the heatmap rectangle. 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 alert threshold of virtual memory used percentage in the heatmap. The middle value in the gradient bar indicates the middle value of the range (the default is 50).

 

 

Free Memory

The amount of free memory in the heatmap rectangle, in megabytes. 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 amount of free memory in the heatmap. The middle value in the gradient bar indicates the middle value of the range.

 

 

Deployed Engines

The number of deployed engines in the heatmap rectangle. 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 number of depoloyed engines in the heatmap. The middle value in the gradient bar indicates the middle value of the range.

 

 

Active Engines

The number of active engines in the heatmap rectangle. 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 number of active engines in the heatmap. The middle value in the gradient bar indicates the middle value of the range.

 

TIBCO BusinessWorks 5 Server Summary

Clicking BW5 Server Summary in the left/navigation menu opens the TIBCO BusinessWorks 5 Server Summary display, which allows you to track utilization and performance metrics for specific BW5 servers. Clicking on the information boxes at the top of the display takes you to the TIBCO BusinessWorks 5 Servers Table display, the TIBCO BusinessWorks 5 Engines Table display, or the TIBCO BusinessWorks 5 Processes Table display (depending on which box you select), where you can view additional servers data. In the CPU and Memory Utilization trend graph region, you can view CPU usage percentage, free memory, and virtual memory used percentage over a selected time range. Clicking the Critical/Warning link at the bottom of the display opens the Alerts Table by Component display.
