  • 1.  TPV logs interpretation

    Posted Tue November 07, 2017 10:22 AM

    I am trying to understand the content of the tpv logs. For instance for the following sample:

    <Stats name="WebContainer" statType="threadPoolModule" il="-2" type="COLLECTION">
    <BRS id="3" lWM="1" hWM="191" cur="41" int="2.0547835486E10" sT="1509534982732" lST="1510064499893" lB="0" uB="0">
    </BRS>
    <BRS id="4" lWM="1" hWM="300" cur="176" int="4.5396247295E10" sT="1509534982732" lST="1510064499893" lB="50" uB="300">
    </BRS>
    <BRS id="5" lWM="0" hWM="0" cur="0" int="0.0" sT="1509534982732" lST="1510064499893" lB="0" uB="0">
    </BRS>
    </Stats>

    It seems to me that the id=3 is the ActiveCount value. The id=4 should be the Poolsize and id=5 the PercentMaxed. Am I right?

    The parameters IWM , hWM and cur are obvious, like the minimum, the maximum and current value.

    I would like also to know what is the meaning of parameter int, sT, IST, IB, uB in each case.

    Can anyone help me with this? Where can I find documentation about this?

    If you are interested in the performance metrics I would recommend to use the perfServlet

    https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSEQTP_9.0.0/com.ibm.websphere.base.doc/ae/tprf_devprfservlet.html

    Or use the graphical interface of the Tivoli Performance Viewer

    https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSEQTP_9.0.0/com.ibm.websphere.base.doc/ae/tprf_tpvsumrpts.html

    They can show you what the metrics are all about.

    Thanks very much for your answer. I will check those links. I am interested in crating my own tool to retrieve from the file the stat values that I am interested on, and create some kind of report based in a all day of logs. The tpv tool in the admin console, is good, but you loose the general view of all the day, I want to get all the values of the current number of webcontainer threads, calculate the maximum value reached, the average and the periods with high values, put all in an excel sheet and after that create some graphs. That's why it is important to me to know the exact meaning of the values in the tpv log file.
