You can use the Performance, Events and Policies profiles to display run-time information for any asset.
Virtual service assets contain these profiles by default. An administrator can optionally choose to display these profiles for any other asset type. For example, if your site uses Insight or some other run-time monitoring device (such as Layer 7) to capture performance metrics, events or rogue WS-Policy assets, an administrator might want to display these profiles for additional assets.
Use the following procedure to display performance metrics for assets.
Note:
For more information about the key performance indicator (KPI)
metrics that webMethods Mediator publishes for virtual services, see the
section Run-Time Events in the document Managing
Targets and Run-Time Events.
To display performance metrics for an asset
Display the details page for the asset whose performance metrics you want to display. If you need procedures for this step, see Viewing Details for an Asset.
Open the Performance profile.
Use the button to switch between a tabular view of the metrics or a graphical view.
When viewing metrics in Tabular View, specify the following fields:
| In this field... | Specify... |
|---|---|
| Select Target |
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 |
The time period from which to view the metrics. |
Click .
The table displays metrics for all performance categories (e.g., Success Request Count, Total Request Count, Fault Count, etc.).
Use the following procedure to display event information for assets.
Note:
CentraSite provides predefined event types for use
with any supported policy-enforcement point (PEP) or run-time monitoring
component such as Insight. In addition, you can create custom event types,
using the CentraSite Control user interface. For more information, see the
section Run-Time Events in the document Managing
Targets and Run-Time Events.
To display event information for an asset
Display the details page for the asset whose event information you want to display. If you need procedures for this step, see Viewing Details for an Asset.
Open the Events profile.
Use the following fields to filter the event list you want to view:
| In this field... | Specify... |
|---|---|
| Target Type | The target type (e.g., Mediator or a run-time monitoring component such as Insight). |
| Target | The target name. |
| Event Type | A particular event type, or select All to view all event types. For descriptions of the predefined event types, see the section Run-Time Events in the document Managing Targets and Run-Time Events. |
| Date Range | A range of dates from which to view the events. |
| Start Date | Alternatively, select the check box next to this field and click the calendar and select a starting date and time. |
| End Date | Click the calendar and select an ending date and time. |
Click the button.
The generated event list displays the following information:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Date/Time | The date/time that the event occurred. Click this hyperlinked value to view the Event Detail page, which will contain the event's SOAP request or response name in the Attribute column. Click the hyperlinked request or response name to display the full SOAP request or response. |
| Session ID | (Read-only.) The session ID that generated the event. |
| Event Type | (Read-only.) The type of event (e.g., Monitoring, Policy Violation, Error, etc.). |
| Service Name | (Read-only.) The name of the service that caused the event. |
| Service Type | (Read-only.) The service’s type. |
| Target | (Read only.) The target on which the event occurred. |
| Target Type | (Read only.) The type of the target on which the event occurred. |
The Policies profile displays the following information:
For virtual services, the Policies profile will display a list of all design-time and run-time policies that apply to a particular virtual service.
If your site uses Insight or some other run-time monitoring device (such as Layer 7) to capture rogue assets, this profile will display the rogue WS-Policy assets.
To display policy information for an asset
Display the details page for the asset whose policy information you want to display. If you need procedures for this step, see Viewing Details for an Asset.
Open the Policies profile.
Click the hyperlinked policy name to view the policy details.
