Measures reported by IBMWLPThreadTest

By continuously monitoring the thread pools of the IBM WebSphere Liberty server, administrators can figure out the number of active threads in each thread pool and the size of the thread pool. Using this test, administrators can determine the thread pool containing the maximum number of active threads.

Outputs of the test : One set of results for each thread pool on the target IBM WebSphere Liberty server being monitored.

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
activeThreads Indicates the number of threads in this thread pool that are currently active in servicing the requests. Number Comparing the value of this measure across the thread pools helps administrators identify the thread pool containing the maximum number of active threads.

If the value of this measure is equal to the value of the poolSize measure, then, it indicates that the thread pool is busy servicing the requests and new requests have to wait for a while till the threads are released. In such circumstances, administrators may consider increasing the size of the thread pool.
poolSize Indicates the number of threads that are currently available in this thread pool. Number
