Displaying Performance Metrics for Assets

Pre-requisites:

The following general guidelines apply when displaying the Key Performance Indicator (KPI) metrics:

Ensure that webMethods Mediator is configured to collect and report runtime metrics.

You must configure Mediator to communicate with CentraSite (in the Integration Server Administrator, go to Solutions > Mediator > Administration > CentraSite Communication). For procedures, see Administering webMethods Mediator.

Ensure that CentraSite is configured to receive runtime metrics from Mediator.

Gateways capture runtime metrics for assets. If you are using the Mediator gateway, Mediator's data collector captures KPI metrics for each asset and publishes them to CentraSite at regular intervals. If you are using a runtime monitoring component such as Insight, the monitoring component captures the KPI metrics of all rogue assets and publishes them to CentraSite at regular intervals.

Note:
If you receive a Javascript error when trying to display the Performance profile, please install the latest versions of the Adobe Flash Player/Shockwave Player plug-ins on your Microsoft Internet Explorer.

To display the runtime performance of an asset

1. In CentraSite Control, go to Asset Catalog > Browse.

A list of currently defined asset types is displayed in the Types pane.

2. Select the Virtual Service check box.

A list of the Virtual Service assets are displayed in the Assets pane.

3. In the Assets pane, right-click an asset whose runtime metrics you want to examine, and then click Details, or select the check boxes for multiple assets, click the Actions menu, and then click Details.

4. Click the Performance tab.

5. To switch between the tabular view or graphical view of the runtime metrics, click the Switch to button.

6. In the Tabular view of the runtime metrics, type the appropriate information for each of the displayed fields:

In this field...	Do the following...
Select Target	Specify a target of the asset, or select All to view the metrics of all targets to which the virtual service is deployed.
Start Date/End Date	Specify the time period to view the metrics.

7. Click Search.

The table displays the asset's performance metrics in the available categories (Success Request Count, Total Request Count, Fault Count, and so on.).
