Monitoring Hourly Graphs

Viewing Hourly Graphs

This section gives information about the Hourly frequency graph.

To view graphical data on an hourly frequency, navigate to the Monitoring section by performing the following steps:

1. Click Menu at the upper-left corner of the dashboard.
2. Click Monitoring.
3. On the left pane, click Hourly.

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

Configuring Hourly Graphs

This section explains how to configure additional graphs of Hourly frequency by using the hourly graph template.

To configure additional graphs, perform the following steps:

Procedure 

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

Figure 77: Configured Graphs

Note:
  • When you select a particular graph, its configuration information is displayed.
  • At any point, if you want to return to the Hourly page dashboard, click Return to Graph View.
2. To configure a new graph, click Add Configuration.
A Choose Graph Type dialog is displayed.

Figure 78: Hourly Graph Type
3. In the Choose Graph Type dialog, select a template from the Template Graphs dropdown list. For example, select the FG CPU template graph.
Note: When you hover the mouse over the info icon, it displays the information about the different Hourly graph templates that are available.
4. Click ADD.
A Choose Plot Type dialog is displayed.

Figure 79: Plot Type
5. On the Choose Plot Type dialog, you must select whether you want the average values to be plotted or the maximum values to be plotted. Select AVG or MAX from the Plots dropdown list. For example, select AVG.
6. Click ADD.
The configuration options for the selected graph and plot type are displayed.

7. Configure one or multiple background processes as required by performing the following steps:
a. Select a machine from the Machine Name dropdown 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 example, select 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, separate each instance by a comma (,). For example, 0,1,2. All instances is indicated by 0. 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. For example, enter 2 in this field for the WISMBD process.
8. (Optional) Select the Select Active Logins checkbox if you also want to add and analyze data for the number of employees logged in.
9. 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 .
10. Enter a name for your graph. For example, name your graph as FGWISMBD.
Note: The name for your graph must be unique and should not include any special characters.
11. 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.

Note:
  • Click the Edit button at the upper-right corner to edit the configuration of the selected graph. After saving the edited configuration, a Graph edited successfully message is displayed.
  • If you want to delete a graph, click the Delete icon corresponding to the graph that you want to delete. On the confirmation dialog, if you click YES, REMOVE, then a Graph deleted successfully message is displayed.
12. Click Return to Graph View to go back to the dashboard and view the graph that you just added.

Graph

Description

FG CPU

You can configure this to monitor the CPU usage for foreground processes.

In addition, 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

You can configure this to monitor the memory usage for foreground processes.

Additionally, 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

You can configure this to monitor the number of threads used by foreground processes.

In addition, 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

You can configure this to monitor the CPU usage for foreground MBox Queues.

BG Usage

You can configure this to monitor the CPU and memory usage for background processes.

Additionally, you can monitor processes specific to a particular MBox Queue.

Queue Message Counts

You can configure this to monitor the message count for all queues.

Active Logins

You can configure this to monitor the number of active logins.

Total Resources

You can configure this to monitor the CPU, memory, and thread usage for all iProcess Engine resources.

WIS CPU Load

You can configure this to monitor CPU usage for the Work Item Server (WIS).

WIS Memory Load

You can configure this to monitor memory usage for the Work Item Server.

WIS Threads Load

You can configure this to monitor number of threads used for the Work Item Server.

Work Item Load

You can configure this to monitor the work item load on the Work Item Server.
