The Activity workspace analysis tabs display indepth in-depth information about and in context of the node selected in the execution tree, shown within the tree in bold for referencing. While navigating through the analysis tabs, you can select different hyperlinked entities associated with the originally selected node. Selecting a hyperlinked node in an analysis tab will select that node within the execution tree, and all information displayed in the analysis tabs will be refreshed to correspond to the newly selected node.

The Highlights tab

The Highlights tab appears when any node type within the execution tree is selected, and displays a comprehensive performance overview of the selected node. The highlights tab provides information regarding performance trends for the selection’s underlying call path and displays performance findings to facilitate focused navigation to the root cause of a performance issue.

About the Load Balance tab

The Load Balance tab displays the selected entity and compares its performance in all the contexts it was invoked by in the selected time frame. If “All instances” is selected in the execution tree, it will show the instances table (similar to the view provided in the Dashboard workspace).

...

The Executions overtime graph displays and compares the average number of executions for the selected instance in the selected time frame against the average number of executions for the AppTier. If the average number of executions is identical, the overtime graph will display information for the selected JVM.

About the Impact tab

The Impact tab displays information regarding the selected method’s impact on the application. It displays general performance data in context for the selected node and specific information regarding its contribution to all entry points and methods in the application by which it is directly invoked. This provides the user with a comprehensive overview of the specific method’s performance throughout the application.

  • Caller. Displays the name of the method that directly invoked the selected method.

    Info

    Selecting the hyperlinked direct caller name selects the method in the execution tree and displays the Highlights tabs for the method.

  • Work Impact on Caller. Displays the percentage of the selected method’s total response time out of the direct caller method’s total response time.
  • Method Avg. Response Time (Sec). Displays the method’s average response time.
  • Executions by Caller. Displays the number of times the selected method was executed by the specific direct caller method.
  • Sum. Method Response Times. Displays the method’s total response time.

About the Entry Points tab

The Entry Points tab displays the top level URI/iView or methods (EJB or others) that are monitored for this instance, comparing performance data of the detected entry points within the monitored application in the selected time frame. This view enables efficient identification of problematic entry points and, in the event of many entry points from the same instance showing distress, problematic instances as well.

...

The Avg. Response Time (Sec) vs. Executions overtime bar graph displays the relationship over time between the average response time of the entry point selected in the table above and the number of times the entry point was executed in the same time frame. Hovering over any point in the bar graph will display a ToolTip with the date and time of the time slice, the average response time, and the number of executions.

About the SQL & Exit Points tab

...

  • Name. Displays the destination name that can be either the Web service request name, 'DB Name' on 'Server Name' for SQLs, and so on.
  • Type. Displays the exit point destination type such as, Web service, DB type, and so on.
  • Work Impact. Displays the percentage of work time of the selected exit point in relation to the total work time of the invoking method
  • Executions. Displays the number of executions within the selected node.

The Avg. Response Time (Sec) vs. Executions overtime bar graph displays the relationship over time between the average response time of the exit point selected in the table above and the number of times the exit point was executed in the selected time frame.

The Avg. Lock Time (Sec) of the Methods Selected in the Tables Above overtime bar graph shows an overtime view of the periods where the methods selected in the tables above acquired locks. This view enables you to understand the mutual locking relationship of the two methods - are they always locked at the same times (meaning, they lock each other only), is one locking (indicated by a short lock time) and other locked (indicated by a long lock time), and so on. Hovering at any point in the bar graph will display a ToolTip with the date and time of the time slice, the average lock time, and the number of locks.
