Configuring Hourly Graphs

To configure graphs to display data on a hourly 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 Hourly tab on the left pane.

On the Hourly page’s dashboard, four graphs are displayed by default. These are Average Queue Sizes, Average WIS Usage, Average iPOS Load, and Average Background CPU.

Figure 51: Hourly Graph Dashboard

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

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

    Figure 52: Configured Graphs

    2. 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 FG CPU 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 AVERAGE.
8. Click ADD.
The configuration options for the selected graph and plot type are displayed.
9. Configure one or multiple background 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.
10. Select the Select Active Logins check box if you also want to add and analyze data for the number of employees logged in.
11. 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 .
12. 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 FGWISMBD.
Note: The name for your graph must be unique and should not include any special characters.
13. 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.
14. 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 steps given above.

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 the 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.

WIS CPU Load

Allows you to monitor CPU usage for the Work Item Server.

WIS Memory Load

Allows you to monitor memory usage for the Work Item Server.

WIS Threads Load

Allows you to monitor number of threads used for the Work Item Server.

Work Item Load

Allows you to monitor the work item load on the Work Item Server (WIS).
