Using the Analytics Overview Page
On the Analytics Overview page in the Monitoring section of My webMethods, you can:
view the status of business and system components,
view information about process steps and step intrinsics,
view information about stages and stage intrinsics,
search components based on a variety of criteria.
Note:
Business process data is specific to Optimize for Process.
By default, information displayed on the Analytics Overview page appears in built-in business and system views, though you can also create custom data views using the Overview Configuration page in My webMethods (Navigate > Applications > Administration > Analytics > Overview Configuration). These data views are referred to as configurations. For more information about setting up configurations, see Administering webMethods Optimize .
To open the Analytics Overview page in My webMethods navigate to:
Navigate > Applications > Monitoring > System Wide > Analytics Overview.
The Overview Configuration field that is located at the top right side of the page displays the currently selected configuration. You can use the field to select from the default and custom configurations that exist. If no configuration has been selected for the Analytics Overview page, a message “No Configurations Found” is displayed.
The Status column (
) to the left of each component in the
Analytics Overview panel indicates its current status. Additional icons beside each component indicate whether that component is a KPI, KPI instance, dimension, process, or a step. If a rule is violated, warning icons are displayed in the
Detail column, and you can click them to view more information about the violation. The
Detail column displays a variety of icons to show statistical measurements, rule status, links to KPI details, and six sigma for processes. Other icons provide access to pages containing additional information about trends, rules, and other pertinent issues. You can drill down into each KPI to view the KPI Instance Detail or KPI Summary page.
You can use the four radio buttons at the top of the Analytics Overview panel to customize the data view on the page. This capability facilitates viewing data according to your specific needs and is especially useful with data models that entail large and complex data relationships. These buttons and the corresponding views are as follows:
Complete Tree: This view is selected by default and displays all elements of the configuration. The tree is grouped by KPI type and individual KPI instances are further broken down by dimension.
Dimension Tree: This view displays KPI instances grouped by dimension. It facilitates pulling together KPI instances that share common dimension values.
KPI Tree: This view is grouped by KPI instance name and displays only KPI instances without their KPI type and dimension folders. This view is especially useful when KPI instance names include dimensional values. It does not show KPI or dimension nodes.
Table View: This view displays all KPI instances in a tabular format with no hierarchy. The view does not show the folder nodes. You can use the
Export Readings button to export a .csv file with the data that is displayed in the table, or a .csv file that contains all readings for a specified time interval. For more information, see
Exporting KPI Readings for a Specified Time Range.
Regardless of the selected view, the Analytics Overview panel shows configuration information.
The following table describes the configuration information in the Analytics Overview panel.
Column | Description |
Status | Indicates whether instances associated with the components are executing normally, have a rule violation, or are statistically abnormal. Status indicators include the following: Rule violation Statistical abnormality Normal No data is available For more information about these status indicators, see
Optimize Icons in this guide. |
Components | Lists all monitored business and system components. Click a component name to display the KPI Instance Detail or KPI Summary page for that component. The icon adjacent to each node indicates whether the node is a process, a KPI instance, a KPI, a dimension, a stage, or a step. The node is a KPI The node is a KPI instance The node is a dimension of a KPI The node is a process The node is a step in a process The node is a stage The node is a step in a stage For more information about these icons, see
Optimize Icons in this guide. |
Last Reading | Displays the value and unit of measure for the last aggregated data point collected for a KPI instance at the end of the collection interval. |
Date/Time | Indicates the date and time of the last reading. |
