where is the Websphere selection in custom charts in 5.6? 5.5 has it.
Within 5.5 if you go to Charting, Custom, Server Side Performance, Agent Based Measures, you will find a group specifically called Websphere. In 5.6 it is not there. We need to create a chart for WebContainer Active counts (which was normally under the Websphere group). Can you tell me where it is or what replaced it?
Thanks,
David
Hi Dave. Thanks for the update. You are right - by default many metrics are not there. We made that concious decision to not collect data that nobody needs anyway and just fills up the Performance Warehouse. Good News is that you can easily create these measures as they are pre-configured. All you need to do is follow the steps we both explained
Cheers
Hi David
Nothing has changed between 5.5 and 5.6 - BUT - be aware that these measures need to be created in a System Profile in order to be available for you to chart. Is it possible that you upgraded to 5.6 and are now working on a new System Profile? If that is the case I suggest you edit your system profile -> Measures -> Create Measures -> and select those WebSphere measurees you are interested in. Once these are created you can chart them.

Thanks Andi, It is true that it is a new System Profile. However, I went back to our 5.5 environment which has 8 DT servers with about 8-10 System profiles on each and under Measures for all these system Profiles there is a WebSphere selection (Measures\Server Side Performance\Agent Based Measures\WebSphere. And under that selection are about 25 measures that were not created by my team so they have to be out of the box. Such as EJB Activate Count, EJB Concurrent Live Count, EJB Pooled Count, JDBC Connection Pool Use Time (and 10 other JDBC measures), JTA Active Count, JCA Allocate Count, Servlet Session Active Count, Thread Cleared Hung Count, WebContainer Active Count, etc.
I checked to see if maybe it was a plugin so I looked on 5.6 for a Websphere pluging reference as 5.5 has. And I found that 5.6 has the Websphere plugin too.
Thanks,
David
We found that we had not turned that metric on yet. By Default many metrics are off. They only place to turn them on is when you select the Create measures - which requires you to use a metrics. You can scroll down all the metrics available but not all are On/enabled. You will see that, while scrolling, when you highlight some the add button becomes highlighted (Others the add button is grayed out which means that metric is already On). To turn the metric on you need to click the ADD button. This is what you meant I am sure Andi, sorry I did not follow it at first. Thank you!
David
