WebSphere Extended Deployment’s runtime map provides visual configuration
and performance information about your environment. The runtime map is particularly
helpful if you have a very large topology, because it depicts large sets of
data concisely. For instance, a set of 1000 applications is shown in a treemap
of dynamic clusters with various sizes of rectangles. Goal attainment of a
set of many service classes is shown in the color of rectangles in a map of
service classes. The treemap is generated with Scalable Vector Graphics technology.
You can do the following activities with the runtime map:
- Use the preferences to drill down to particular levels of data. The performance
statistics determine the size and color of the rectangles. Each sector in
the same level is sized proportionately to the other sectors at the same level
based on the number of concurrent requests aggregated to that sector’s level.
The lowest level is server instances. The server instances are sized proportionately
to one another within the parent sector, and are colored proportionately to
one another based on their performance to their business goals. Select the Type and Displayed
Entity to set your preferences.
- With a robust Search facility
with
which you can single out a subset of the data in an entire map. For example,
you can search to highlight the top ten performing applications based on response
time, or the dynamic clusters which have the lowest concurrent request values.
