This document covers the following topics:
The tables below describe the KPIs (key performance indicators)
monitored by the Application Monitoring Data Collector. Each KPI is represented
as a row in the CSV file produced by the data collector. The KPI name is
identical to the row name in the first column of the CSV file. There is only
one common layout of the CSV file. Therefore, depending on the scenario, KPIs
may have no values. In this case, the column has an empty entry in the
corresponding row. This can be changed to the value
"0" by setting the parameter
entirex.appmondc.usezeroasnullvalue in the configuration
file entirex.appmondc.properties (see
Configuration for Application
Monitoring).
There are three different scenarios: RPC, CICS ECI and IMS Connect. Each scenario has a different set of KPIs for successful requests and for failed requests. For a successful request, the KPI "ErrorCode" is always empty. For a failed request this KPI always has a value.
The RPC scenario is supported when using the EntireX Broker as well as when using the Direct RPC component of the EntireX Adapter. The CICS ECI and IMS Connect scenarios are supported by the EntireX Adapter only when using the corresponding connection types.
The sequence of the KPIs in the tables below is the same as the sequence of the KPIs in the CSV file.
| KPI Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Time | The time the event has been processed by the data collector in the format "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS.SSS" using the current time zone. |
| Timestamp | The time the event has been processed by the data collector as a number. The number is the difference, measured in milliseconds, between the current time and midnight, January 1, 1970 UTC. |
| Scenario | The scenario identifier "RPC". |
| ApplicationName | "application-name"
as defined by the broker attribute APPMON-NAME.
If the broker attribute is not specified, the server address is used; for
example RPC/SRV/CALLNAT.
|
| Address | The broker ID and the server address of the RPC request. |
| TimeResponse | The complete response time (roundtrip from client to server and back) in microseconds. |
| TimeClientLayer | The time spent in the client RPC layer in microseconds. |
| TimeClientTransport | The transport time from the client to the broker and back in microseconds. |
| TimeBroker | The time spent in the broker (active processing) in microseconds. |
| TimeBrokerWaitForServer | The time spent in the broker waiting for an available server in microseconds. |
| TimeServerTransport | The transport time from the broker to the server and back in microseconds. |
| TimeServerLayer | The time spent in the server RPC layer (runtime and stub) in microseconds. |
| TimeServerProgram | The time spent in the user program (called by the RPC server) in microseconds. For Natural programs on a mainframe, this time does not include the database times. For other programs, the database times are included. |
| TimeDBCalls | The time spent for database calls in microseconds. For an Adabas database, this is the time the Adabas server needs to process the database call ("client wait time"). For other databases, the DB calls time includes also the DB transport time. 1 |
| TimeDBTransport | The transport time from the Natural user program to the Adabas router and back including the client receiving time in microseconds. 1, 2 |
| Program | The program name. |
| ClientApplication | The client application name as defined in the broker control block. |
| ClientHost | The client host name. |
| ClientUser | The client user ID. |
| LengthRequest | The length of the RPC request in bytes. |
| LengthReply | The length of the RPC reply in bytes. |
| LengthTotal | The total length of the RPC call (request plus reply) in bytes. |
| DBCalls | The number of database calls (including system file calls, without Natural Security calls). 1 |
| ErrorCode | Always empty. |
1 This KPI is only available if the call is issued by a Natural RPC server on a mainframe.
2 This KPI is only available for a database call against an Adabas server.
