Measures reported by BobiLSStTest

SAP Lumira is a self-service data discovery and visualization tool that allows users to find and analyze relevant business data and create custom interactive dashboards and analytics applications. SAP Lumira provides connectivity to SAP enterprise data models in SAP BW, SAP HANA, and SAP BusinessObjects universes (UNX) as well as to a wide variety of 3rd party databases and file data, for data acquisition, cleansing and manipulation.

To visualize data and enable interactivity, SAP Lumira provides powerful UI elements such as charts, crosstabs, geo maps and filter components out of the box, along with a rich set of ready-to-run analysis applications, templates, and samples. Both self-service dashboards and tailored, centrally (IT) managed applications are built from the same libraries of UI elements and the same data connections and sources, to provide a uniform and consistent experience for business end users.

SAP Lumira Discovery is the rich client for business key users who need a flexible tool to connect to data sources, acquire, manipulate, and merge data, to work offline with data, to explore and analyze data online, and to create stories with visualizations from all types of data in an ad-hoc fashion. SAP Lumira Designer is the rich client for professional analysis application designers (typically working in IT departments) to create corporate analysis applications and reports. Lumira Designer provides the same UI elements as Lumira Discovery and more, and allows full control of the application look and feel and user interaction through scripting and corporate CSS style sheets. Lumira Designer also enables the creation of shared UI elements (such as headers, footers, toolbars) and the breaking down of complex applications into smaller, more manageable parts, which enable cost-effective management of large corporate BI deployments.

SAP Lumira Server is installed on the SAP BusinessObjects BI platform and hosts the execution runtime of Lumira documents that are created from Lumira Discovery and Lumira Designer, as well as analysis applications created withLumira Designer or Design Studio.

If the Lumira 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 Lumira Server is not sized with adequate threads, slowdowns in query processing become inevitable. To avoid this, administrators must be promptly alerted when a Lumira Server suddenly stops functioning or is about to run out of free threads. This is exactly what the BobiLSStTest does. This test tracks the overall health and status of the Lumira 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.

Outputs of the test : One set of results for Lumira server running in the node monitored.

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
healthState Indicates the current health state of the Lumira server in the monitored node.   The values reported by this measure and its numeric equivalents are mentioned in the table below:

Measure Value Numeric Value
Danger 0
Caution 1
Healthy 2


If the server is not healthy, then the detailed diagnosis of this measure, if enabled, provides the process ID, JVM debug information, trace flags, JVM version and service hosted by 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 Lumira server in the monitored node.   The values reported by this measure and its numeric equivalents are mentioned 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 Lumira server is enabled.   The values reported by this measure and its numeric equivalents are mentioned 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.
