Keepers Views

These displays provide detailed data for all keepers in a heatmap or tabular format, as well as metrics and trend data for a particular keeper. Clicking Keepers in the left/navigation menu opens the TIBCO ActiveSpaces StateKeepers Table display, which provides a tabular view of all keepers and their associated metrics within a particular realm. Displays in this View are:

• All Keepers Heatmap: Opens the TIBCO ActiveSpaces StateKeepers Heatmap display, which is a heatmap view of all keepers contained within a particular realm.
• Single Keeper Summary: Opens the TIBCO ActiveSpaces Keeper Summary display, which allows you to view metrics and trend data for a particular keeper.

 

TIBCO ActiveSpaces StateKeepers Table

The table in this display provides a view of all keepers and their associated metric data for a specific realm. 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 keeper in the TIBCO ActiveSpaces Keeper Summary display

TIBCO ActiveSpaces StateKeepers Heatmap

Clicking All Keepers Heatmap in the left/navigation menu opens the TIBCO ActiveSpaces StateKeeper Heatmap, which provides an easy-to-view interface that allows you to quickly identify the current status of each of your keepers for each available metric. You can view the keepers in the heatmap based on the following metrics: current alert severity, alert count, CPU usage, memory usage, rate of messages received, and rate of messages sent. By default, this display shows the heatmap based on the Alert Severity metric.

You can mouse over a rectangle to see additional metrics for a keeper. Clicking one of the rectangles in the heatmap opens the TIBCO ActiveSpaces Keeper Summary display, which allows you to see additional details for the selected keeper.

 

 

Filter By:

 

Realm

Select the realm for which you want to see data.

Fields and Data:

 

Count

The total number of keepers found for the selected realm.

 

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.

 

Auto Scale

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).

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 keepers, where each rectangle represents a keeper. Mouse-over any rectangle to display the current values of the metrics for the keeper. Click on a rectangle to drill-down to the associated TIBCO ActiveSpaces Keeper Summary display for a detailed view of metrics for that particular keeper.

 

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 alarm and warning alerts 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 alerts in the heatmap. The middle value in the gradient bar indicates the middle value of the range.

 

CPU Usage

The CPU usage rate for the keeper. 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 TdgKeeperCpuUsageHigh. The middle value in the gradient bar indicates the middle value of the range.

 

Memory

The usage memory for the keeper. 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 TdgKeeperMemoryUseHigh. The middle value in the gradient bar indicates the middle value of the range.

 

Msgs Rcvd/sec

The rate of messages received.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 TdgKeeperMsgsRcvdRateHigh. The middle value in the gradient bar indicates the middle value of the range.

 

Msgs Sent/sec

The rate of messages received.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 TdgKeeperMsgsSentRateLow. The middle value in the gradient bar indicates the middle value of the range.

 

 

 

TIBCO ActiveSpaces Keeper Summary

Clicking Single Keeper Summary in the left/navigation menu opens the TIBCO ActiveSpaces Keeper Summary, which provides a view of the current and historical metrics for a single keeper. The trend graph in the display traces the current and historical CPU usage percentage, process memory usage (in KB), rate of received messages, and the rate of sent messages for the keeper.

 

 

Filter By:

The display might include these filtering options:

 

Realm

Select the realm (containing the keeper) for which you want to show data in the display.

 

Keeper

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

Trends

Traces the following:

CPU Used (%)-- traces the CPU usage percentage.

Memory Used (kb) -- traces the memory usage, in kilobytes.

Message Rcvd Rate-- traces the rate of messages received, per second.

Message Sent Rate-- traces the rate of messages sent, per second.

 

 

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.
