Viewing performance metrics with the Tivoli Performance Viewer

You can use the Tivoli® Performance Viewer to start and stop performance monitoring; view Performance Monitoring Infrastructure data in chart or table form as it occurs on your system; and, optionally, log the data to a file that you can later review in the same viewer.

Before you begin

Before you can view performance metrics with the Tivoli Performance Viewer, the following conditions must be true:

About this task

The Tivoli Performance Viewer (TPV) is a powerful application that allows you view a variety of details of about the performance of your server. The section entitled "Monitoring performance with Tivoli Performance Viewer" in the WebSphere® Application Server Information Center contains details about how to use this tool for a variety of purposes, and you should see that resource for complete instructions on using this program. This section is limited to discussing the viewing of performance data for events specific to WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus.

The performance viewer enables administrators and programmers to monitor the current health of WebSphere ESB. Because the collection and viewing of data occurs on the process server, performance is affected. To minimize performance impacts, monitor only those servers whose activity you want to monitor.
Note: When viewing these statistics, you should not mix counter-type statistics with duration-type statistics. Counters are cumulative, and the scales against which they are graphed can quickly grow depending on your application. Duration statistics, in contrast, tend to remain within a certain range because they represent the average amount of time that it takes your system to process each event. Consequently, the disparity between the statistics and their relative scales may cause one or the other type of statistic to appear skewed in the viewer graph.
