Measures reported by BobiWISStTest

SAP BusinessObjects Web Intelligence ensures your deployment meets performance demands and supports standardization efforts by providing an integrated analysis tool for all users. It is a tool built upon a complete, trusted, and agile BI platform that offers powerful, online and offline ad hoc query and reporting.

If the Web Intelligence server is not running or is experiencing errors or is disabled, then critical data cannot be queried from storage and custom reports cannot be built. Likewise, if the Web Intelligence server is not sized with adequate threads, slowdowns in query processing become inevitable. To avoid this, administrators must be promptly alerted when a Web Intelligence server suddenly stops functioning or is about to run out of free threads. This is exactly what the BobiWISStTest test does.

This test tracks the overall health and status of the Web Intelligence server and notifies administrators if the server has stopped, has encountered errors, or is disabled. In addition, the test also monitors the thread pool usage of the server and proactively alerts administrators if the pool is over-utilized.

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
healthState Indicates the current health state of the Web Intelligence server in the monitored node.   The values that this measure can report and their corresponding numeric values are discussed in the table below:

Measure Value Numeric Value
Danger 0
Caution 1
Healthy 2

If the server is not healthy, the detailed diagnosis of this measure (if enabled) provides the process ID of the server.

Note:

By default, this measure reports the Measure Values listed in the table above to indicate the health state of the server. In the graph of this measure however, the same is represented using the numeric values only.
serverRunningState Indicates the current running state of the Report Application server.   The values that this measure can report and their corresponding numeric values are discussed in the table below:

Measure Value Numeric Value
STOPPED 0
STARTING 1
INITIALIZING 2
RUNNING 3
STOPPING 4
FAILED 5
RUNNING_WITH_ERRORS 6
RUNNING_WITH_WARNINGS 7

Note:

By default, this measure reports the Measure Values listed in the table above to indicate the running state of the server. In the graph of this measure however, the same is represented using the numeric values only.
serverEnabledState Indicates whether/not the Web Intelligence server is enabled.   The values that this measure can report and their corresponding numeric values are discussed in the table below:

Measure Value Numeric Value
Disabled 0
Enabled 1

Note:

By default, this measure reports the Measure Values listed in the table above to indicate whether/not the server is enabled. In the graph of this measure however, the same is represented using the numeric values only.
busyServerThreads Indicates the number of server threads that are currently servicing requests. Number If this measure reaches the configured maximum thread pool size for the server, new requests to the server would have to wait until a server thread becomes free. If this happens often, it may significantly slowdown request processing by the server. In such a situation, you may want to consider resizing the thread pool.
