Dimension Hierarchies
Each dashboard tracks asset status using hierarchies. The TIBCO Service Performance Manager hierarchy tables contain aggregated data across dimensions. The aggregated data are measurements calculated across time dimensions.
TIBCO Service Performance Manager maintains the life cycle of assets as separate dimension hierarchies, known as asset hierarchies. Non-asset hierarchies are simple aggregations of measurements over different time dimensions.
The assets states are changed as and when probes send the state information to the SPM Server. A change in the asset status can trigger a change to other non-asset hierarchies. For example, if the underlying asset is deleted, all measurements that include this asset in other computation hierarchies are also deleted.
| Asset | Hierarchy | Life-cycle Events |
|---|---|---|
| Environment | Assets/env | CREATE, DELETE |
| Application | Assets/app | CREATE, DELETE, START, STOP, PARTIALLY RUNNING, and so on |
| Service Instance | Assets/svcinst | START, STOP, DELETE |
| Node | Assets/node | CREATE, DELETE, START, STOP, and so on |
| HTTP Shared Resource | Assets/http | RUNNING, INSTALL, UNINSTALL |
| JDBC Shared Resource | Assets/jdbc | RUNNING, INSTALL, UNINSTALL |
| JMS Connection Factory Shared Resource | Assets/jmscf | RUNNING, INSTALL, UNINSTALL |
| Thread Pool Shared Resource | Assets/threadpool | RUNNING, INSTALL, UNINSTALL |
Disabled Hierarchies
If a hierarchy is disabled, there are following possibilities:
- If there is no data computed previously in the time range (this hour/ this day/ this week), then the corresponding table for the hierarchy keeps showing “No Data.”
- If there is data computed previously in the time range, then the corresponding table for the hierarchy keeps showing old computed data without any updates till the time window is crossed. After that, the table shows “No Data.”
