RTView© Enterprise User's Guide Version 6.4

The EMS Server selected from this drop-down menu populates all associated Topic data in this display.

The total number of currently active topics on the selected server, which is filtered by the Data Collection > Metric Filters > Topics field in the RTView Configuration Application.

The default value for the Topics property is:

^(?!^\\$sys\\.|^\\$TMP\\$\\.|^AMX_MGMT\\.|^EMSGMS\\.|^AMX_SV\\.|^_HAWK\\.|^_LOCAL\\._HAWK\\.|^TMP\\.EMS)

You can modify the filter value by editing the Topics property, which will override the default value. See “Configuring Data Collection” for more information.

This table describes all topics on the selected server. Click a row to view metrics for a single topic in the TIBCO EMS Topic Summary display.

When checked, performance data has not been received within the time specified (in seconds) in the Expire Time field in the Duration region in the RTView Configuration Application > (Project Name) > Solution Package Configuration > TIBCO Enterprise Message Service > DATA STORAGE tab. The Delete Time field (also in the Duration region) allows you to define the amount of time (in seconds) in which the row will be removed from the table if there is no response.

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.

The number of durables for the topic.

The EMS Server selected from this drop-down menu populates all associated Topic data in this display.

The total number of currently active topics on the selected server, which is filtered by the Data Collection > Metric Filters > Topics field in the RTView Configuration Application.

The default value for the Topics property is:

^(?!^\\$sys\\.|^\\$TMP\\$\\.|^AMX_MGMT\\.|^EMSGMS\\.|^AMX_SV\\.|^_HAWK\\.|^_LOCAL\\._HAWK\\.|^TMP\\.EMS)

Select this check box to display the server URL in the heatmap.

When checked, the values of the selected metric are auto-scaled to its highest defined value. When unchecked, the values of the selected metric display based on the threshold defined for the alert associated with the selected metric. Selecting Auto helps to visualize the range of the values currently present for the selected metric instead of the threshold of the alert that has been associated with the metric. All metrics that have not been associated in the heatmap defaults with alerts use a monochromatic color gradient bar (whites and greens). All metrics that have been associated in the heatmap defaults with alerts use a multi-chromatic color gradient bar (reds, yellows, white, and greens).

The maximum alert level in the item (index) associated with the rectangle. Values range from 0 to 2, as indicated in the color gradient bar , where 2 is the greatest Alert Severity.

2 -- Metrics that have exceeded their specified ALARMLEVEL threshold and have an Alert Severity value of 2 are shown in red. For a given rectangle, this indicates that one or more metrics have exceeded their alarm threshold.

1 -- Metrics that have exceeded their specified WARNINGLEVEL threshold and have an Alert Severity value of 1 are shown in yellow. For a given rectangle, this indicates that one or more metrics have exceeded their warning threshold.

0 -- Metrics that have not exceeded either specified threshold have an Alert Severity value of 0 and are shown in green. For a given rectangle, this indicates that no metrics have exceeded a specified alert threshold.

The total number of consumers in a given item (index) associated with the rectangle. The color gradient bar shows the value/color mapping. The numerical values in the gradient bar range from 0 to the maximum count of consumers in the heatmap. The middle value in the gradient bar indicates the middle value of the range.

The Auto Scale option does not impact this metric.

The total number of subscribers in a given item (index) associated with the rectangle. The color gradient bar shows the range of the value/color mapping. The numerical values in the gradient bar range from 0 to the maximum count of subscribers in the heatmap. The middle value in the gradient bar indicates the middle value of the range.

The number of inbound messages per second in a given item (index) associated with the rectangle. The color gradient bar shows the range of the value/color mapping. By default, the numerical values in the gradient bar range from 0 to the alert threshold of EmsTopicsInMsgRateHigh, which is 9. The middle value in the gradient bar indicates the middle value of the range (the default is 4.5).

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.

Note: This metric comes directly from the tibjms.admin.DestinationInfo class from TIBCO.

The number of outbound messages per second in a given item (index) associated with the rectangle. The color gradient bar shows the range of the value/color mapping. By default, the numerical values in the gradient bar range from 0 to the alert threshold of EmsTopicsOutMsgRateHigh, which is 9. The middle value in the gradient bar indicates the middle value of the range (the default is 4.5).

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.

Note: This metric comes directly from the tibjms.admin.DestinationInfo class from TIBCO.

The EMS Server selected from this drop-down menu populates the Topic drop-down menu with the Topics belonging to this EMS Server.

Fields and Data

This display includes:

The number of subscribers for the topic.

The number of outbound messages, per second, for the selected topic.

The size of outbound messages, in kilobytes per second, for the selected topic.

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.

The number of durable subscribers (active and inactive) to the topic.

The size of the messages for the selected topic, in megabytes, currently waiting to be processed.

The maximum amount of memory, in megabytes, allocated for flow control use by the topic.

When true, the topic has a static destination.

When true, the topic is designated as secure and enforces permission policies.

When checked, performance data has not been received within the time specified (in seconds) in the Expire Time field in the Duration region in the RTView Configuration Application > (Project Name) > Solution Package Configuration > TIBCO Enterprise Message Service > DATA STORAGE tab. The Delete Time field (also in the Duration region) allows you to define the amount of time (in seconds) in which the row will be removed from the table if there is no response.
