Navigating the Enterprise Usage Monitor Environment

It is also important to understand that Manager users, Developers, Advanced users, and Basic users have different access to environment options. That access is determined by the group of users to which you are assigned.

The Real Time RMLDATA Static and Real Time RMLDATA Dynamic pages show the same content, but use different intervals in which the data is refreshed. The static page refreshes every time you load the page, so you can use it for analysis. The dynamic page automatically refreshes every 30 seconds. You can use it to view the resource management data in real time. All of the reports shown on these pages can be sorted in ascending or descending order. Each page contains the following dashboards:

• Metrics by User

  The Metrics by User dashboard is shown in the following image.

  

  The Metrics by User dashboard contains a visualization comprised of content along the top row that shows core metrics (DBMS, CPU, Elapsed, and Server Time) utilization by User. The charts in the middle of the dashboard show performance by both data and hour, and are color coded by DBMS, CPU, elapsed and server time, and the total number of users, The bottom report shows information on core metrics by user ID. You can use the filter panels on the right to narrow your results to a specific date and time, user ID, server name, and agent service name.

• Response Times by Datetime

  The Response Times by Datetime dashboard is shown in the following image.

  

  The charts on the Response Time by Datetime dashboard show how many reports are being run by user ID, core metrics by hour, and core metrics by user ID. The reports on the bottom of the dashboard show four types of response times (Average, Mean, Min, and Max) by date and by reporting server. You can use the filter panels on the right to narrow your results to a specific user ID, start date, start hours, server name, and agent service name.

• Metrics and Average Response Times

  The Metrics and Average Response Times dashboard is shown in the following image.

  

  The series of horizontal charts across the top of the Metrics and Average Response Times dashboard show core metrics (DBMS, CPU, Elapsed, and Server time) by time and hour. The report and charts in the left middle show core metrics and average user response time by user ID and server. The line chart on the bottom shows user average response time by date and time. This chart is intended give a summary of how well the system is performing at a given time. You can also use the filter panels on the right to narrow your results to a specific start date, start hour, user ID, server name, and agent service name.

• Mid-tier

  The Mid-tier dashboard is shown in the following image.

  

  The Mid-tier dashboard represents activity on the WebFOCUS mid-tier. The line chart on top shows the mid-tier CPU utilization by time. The horizontal bar charts show core metrics (CPU, DBMS and Web Tier time) by user and time. The report on the bottom-right shows the domains and procedures users run, and the time they run them. You can use the filter panels on the right to narrow your results to a specific user ID, hour and minute range.

The Performance dashboards tab contains pages with dashboards that represents the activity occurring in your environment. The available dashboards show metrics by user ID, server, time, or web application server. You can use the filter drop-down menus, shown in the following image, to narrow down your results to a specific user ID, server, data, hour, agent, and request name.

These filters are applied globally and affect all dashboards on the Performance Dashboard portal page.

When viewing charts on these pages, note that any chart that measures metrics by user ID are auto link enabled drill-down reports. This allows you to drill down to a User Detail report that shows the procedure name and procedure for each metric. To access this report, right-click the metric and click User Details.

There are also active reports available on the Time Focus and Web Browser Focus pages, respectively. When working with an active report, you can:

• Sort data within any column in ascending or descending order.
• Make a comment on a specific data field. A comment will be indicated by an asterisk (*) next to the field.
• Highlight a data field or row.
• Remove the highlight from all fields or rows.
• Filter the data.

The Performance Dashboard page contains the following dashboards:

• User Focus

  The User Focus dashboard is shown in the following image.

  

  The User Focus dashboard contains a visualization comprised of content along the top row that shows core metrics (DBMS, server time, CPU time, and requests) by user ID. The remaining charts in the dashboard show performance metrics by session date, user, and session hour.

  Note: The selected filter values are propagated to the drill-down report.

• Server Focus

  The Server Focus dashboard is shown in the following image.

  

  The charts on the Server Focus dashboard show core metrics by server. The top row shows the number of requests made by a specific user, core server metrics (duration, CPU time, DBMS, and server time) by hour, and core server metrics by user. The bottom row shows the number of requests made by the hour, along with an active report that shows the performance statistics of the server as a whole.

• Time Focus

  The Time Focus dashboard is shown in the following image.

  

  The Time Focus dashboard represents metrics by time.

• Web Browser Focus

  The Web Browser Focus dashboard is shown in the following image.

  

  The Web Browser Focus dashboard represents metrics used on the web or server application, and focuses on the client CPU, as well as the web tier by time.
