DX Application Performance Management

Hello all,

Has anyone found or created an XML Typeview (<EM_HOME>/ext/xmltv/*) for the PerfMonCollectorAgent, a.k.a. the CA APM PerfMon Collector Service for Windows? If so, please share! There are lots of wonderful metrics that this component of the .NET Agent install provides, but a Typeview would make the data much more approachable within the Introscope Workstation Investigator.

Any thoughts as to which metrics you want to see and where?

few metrics that may be interesting to view:

- Worker Process threads
- Worker process memory utilization
- .NET CLR Loading
- .NET CLR Memory
- Process/Processor
- WebServices.


again there are SO many of them and everyone would have a different requirements; but i do believe having spent SO MUCH MONEY ON THIS SOLUTION; CA Needs to provide these basic views.

other view that we are interested in:

- Spring Tomcat
- Weblogic Typeviews (especially for JMX Metrics)

Sample Dashboards for Spring TC and Weblogic.

Thanks
Ashish

I can certainly display those PerfMon metrics.
I'll write something today.

For Spring, Tomcat, etc, I'll check around my files to see if I have something already. I know I've done one for Spring in the past. You can grab the Spring PBD from the Community Documents; it's compatible with 2.5.

There is a WebLogic TypeViewer in Community Documents that I uploaded from the old community site.

JMX is a more complicated issue.When I configure my agent profile to display JMX, I always enable the 'primarykeys' parameter. I don't like having to constantly deal with the '=' symbol when building metric groupings. What this does is reorganizes the metrics to display as 'bean name|group|metricvalue'. With that said, building a TypeViewer for JMX is like any other metrics in Introscope.

Bashboards I'll leave to whoever has the time for that.

Hiko,

Here's what I've come up with so far (it's just a start), which includes support for the below PerfMon Counters. Please feel free to include this in what you're creating.

|Memory|*
• Pages/sec
• Available MBytes
• Committed Bytes
• Page Faults/sec

|Network Interface|*|*
• Bytes Total/sec
• Packets/sec

|Process|{osprocessname}|*
• % Processor Time
• % Privileged Time
• % User Time
• IO Data Bytes/sec
• IO Other Bytes/sec
• IO Read Bytes/sec
• IO Write Bytes/sec
• Page Faults/sec
• Page File Bytes

|Processor|*|*
• % Processor Time
• % Privileged Time
• % User Time
• Interrupts/sec

|PhysicalDisk|*|*
• % Disk Time
• Avg. Disk Bytes/Transfer
• Avg. Disk Queue Length
• Avg. Disk sec/Transfer
• Disk Transfers/sec

|System|*
• Context Switches per Second
• Processes
• Processor Queue Length

Attached is the TypeView that I've created for use with the Spring PBD in the Community Documents.

Hiko,

I was curious to see if you've been able to make any progress on this. I'm very curious to see what you come up with.

Sorry about that; tied up with my latest project and working on the presentation for the next webcast.

I'll have something for you this week.

Hiko,

No worries; I know how that goes :). I'm just eager to see what you've come up with.
