Measures reported by WASTransTest

Transactions are the key functionality of the WebSphere application server. The WASTransTest monitors these transactions.

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Active_count The number of concurrently active transactions Number If the value of this measure is high, it signifies greater load on the server. This might increase the number of waiting transactions.
 
Commits_count The number of transactions that were committed since the last measurement period Number If the number of transactions that are being committed is very high, it signifies load on the server. It might be caused when some locked transactions are released suddenly.
Rollback_count The number of transactions that were rolled back since the last measurement period Number A high value indicates a problem with the application or with some other (e.g. Database).
Begun_count The number of transactions that were started on the server since the last measurement period Number A high value indicates an overload on the server.
Timedout_count The number of transactions that timed out since the last measurement period Number A rise in the value could be due to the problem with the application or with some other dependent server like the database.
Transaction_time The average duration of the transactions Secs A high transaction duration value indicates increased load on the server.
Throughput Indicates the transaction throughput. Reqs/Sec
