eG Monitoring
 

Measures reported by WASConnPoolTest

This test monitors the usage of the connection pools on the WebSphere server.

Outputs of the test : One set of results for each connection pool being monitored

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Allocate_count Indicates the number of connections allocated to the pool during the last measurement period. Number  
Close_count Indicates the number of connections released from the pool during the last measurement period. Number Ideally, this value should be low.
Create_count Indicates the number of connections created during the last measurement period. Number  
Fault_count Indicates the number of connection timeouts in the pool in the last measurement period. Number Ideally, this value should be low. An unusually high value could indicate an application leak.
Freed_count Indicates the number of connections that were returned to the pool in the last measurement period Number A very low value of this measure could result in a shortage of connections in the pool.
Free_pool_size Indicates the current number of free connections in the pool. Number  
Pool_size Indicates the current size of the connection pool. Number  
Jdbc_time Indicates the time taken by the JDBC queries to execute. Seconds A low value is ideal.
Percent_used Indicates the percent usage of this pool. Percent A value close to 100% is a cause for concern, as it implies that the pool is rapidly running out of free connections. Without free connections, the WebSphere server may not be able to service subsequent connection requests from users. To avoid this, you may want to allocate more connections to the pool.
