eG Monitoring
 

Measures reported by SybEngineTest

This test measures the efficiency of the Sybase engines by monitoring the CPU usage of each engine. You will have to enable the enable monitoring configuration parameter to make this test work.

 The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Cpu_time Indicates the percentage of CPU used by this engine during the last measurement period, for processing queries. Percent A high value for this measure indicates excessive utilization of CPU. The CPU utilization may be high because a few queries are consuming a lot of CPU, or because there are too many queries contending for a limited resource. Check the currently running queries to see the exact cause of the problem. If one/more queries appear to be resource-intensive, you might have to fine-tune them to make them resource efficient.
Sys_cpu_time Indicates the percentage of CPU used by this engine during the last measurement period, for system-level processing. Pct An unusually high value indicates a problem and may be due to too many system-level tasks executing simultaneously.
User_cpu_time Indicates the percentage of CPU used by this engine during the last measurement period, for processing user requests. Pct A high value for this measure indicates that one/more user transactions are consuming too much CPU. You can take the help of the detailed diagnosis information provided by the Avg CPU time measure reported by the Sybase Statement test to identify the user queries that are consuming CPU resources excessively. Once identified, you might have to fine-tune the application that initiated the query.
Idle_cpu_time Indicates the percentage of time for which the CPU was idle during the last measurement period. Pct
