Configuring Daily Graphs

To configure graphs to display data on a daily frequency, navigate to the Monitoring section by performing the following steps:

1.

From the dashboard, click the Main Menu icon on the top-left corner.

2.

Click the Monitoring tab.

3.

Click the Daily tab on the left pane.

On the Daily page’s dashboard, four graphs are displayed by default. These are Case Summary, Maximum Resource Usage, Table sizes, and Total cases.

To delete the default graphs or configure additional drafts, perform the following steps:

1. Click Configure Graphs in the top-right corner.
   A page titled Configured Graphs is displayed.

   Figure 56: Configured Graphs

   

   Note: At any point, if you want to return to the page’s dashboard, click Return to View.

2. (Optional) On the Configured Graphs page, the four default graphs are listed. To delete a default graph, click the Delete icon against the graph title.

3. Click YES, REMOVE in the confirmation dialog box.

   

4.

To configure a new graph, click Add Graph. A "Choose Graph Type" dialog box is displayed.

5.

On the Choose Graph Type dialog box, select a Template Graph from the drop-down menu. For example, let’s consider that you selected the Total Resources template graph.

6.

Click ADD. A Choose Plot Type dialog box is displayed.

7.

On the Choose Plot Type dialog box, you must select whether you want the average values to be plotted or the maximum values to be plotted. Select AVERAGE or MAXIMUM from the Plots drop-down menu. Let’s consider that you selected MAXIMUM.

8.

Click ADD. The configuration options for the selected graph and plot type are displayed.

9.

Configure one or multiple processes as required by performing the following steps:

a.

Select a machine from the Machine Name drop-down menu for each background process for which you require the data plotted on the graph. You can select a specific machine or ALL Machines. For the purpose of this example, let’s consider that you selected ALL Machines for the WISMBD process.

b.

Next, enter the instances in the Instance field for which you require the data plotted on the graph. For multiple instances, list each instance separated by a comma. You can also enter a range in this field, such as, 1-10 which includes all instances between 1 to 10 including 1 and 10. Let’s consider you entered 2 in this field for the WISMBD process.

c.

Finally, choose the parameter for which the data should be obtained from the Options drop-down menu. This can be CPU, Memory, or Threads. You can also select all parameters. Let’s consider that you selected Memory in this field.

10.

If you want to plot data for a process on different machines separately, click the Add icon to add another row of the same process. In case you want to remove a process from the list, click the Remove icon .

11.

Before you can save your graph and view it on the dashboard, enter a name for your graph. Let’s consider that you named your graph as ALLPROCESSES.

12.

Click Save. On successfully configuring the graph, a Graph Added Successfully message is displayed. The graph is added to the Configured Graphs list and to the dashboard.

13.

Click Show Graphs to go back to the dashboard and view the graph that you just added.

Likewise, you can configure the following graphs by performing the above steps.

Daily Template Graphs

Graph	Description
FG CPU	Allows you to monitor the CPU usage for foreground processes. Also, you can choose to add an Active Logins parameter to compare CPU usage of the processes with the number of users logged in at a given point in time.
FG Memory	Allows you to monitor the memory usage for foreground processes. Also, you can choose to add an Active Logins parameter to compare memory usage of the processes with the number of users logged in at a given point in time.
FG Threads	Allows you to monitor the number of threads used by foreground processes. Also, you can choose to add an Active Logins parameter to compare number of threads for the processes with the number of users logged in at a given point in time.
FG Queues	Allows you to monitor the CPU usage for foreground MBox Queues.
BG Usage	Allows you to monitor the CPU and memory usage for background processes. Additionally, you can also monitor processes specific to a particular MBox Queue.
Queue Message Counts	Allows you to monitor the message count for all queues.
Active Logins	Allows you to monitor the number of active logins.
Total Resources	Allows you to monitor the CPU, memory, and thread usage for all iProcess Engine resources.
Work Item Load	Allows you to monitor the load on the Work Item Server (WIS).
