Measures reported by WsBeanTest

The WsBeanTest measures the statistics pertaining to the Enterprise Java Beans (EJBs) that exist in the WebSphere application server. The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Instantiation_rate This measure indicates the rate at which the bean objects are instantiated. Instances/Sec A sudden increase in the rate of instantiations indicates a bottleneck on the server. It may be due to greater load on the server or there might be a loophole in the application.
Destroy_rate Indicates the rate at which the bean objects are destroyed. Instances/Sec A very low value indicates a bottleneck on the server. This might affect the performance of the application.
Method_call_rate This measure indicates the rate at which the methods are being processed by the server. Methods/Sec A high value indicates that the server is busy. The detailed diagnosis of this measure, if enabled, provides the instantiation rate, destroy rate, method call rate, average method rate, average create time, and pool size of each of the currently active beans that constitute the monitored bean group.
Avg_method_rt This measure indicates the average response time of all methods of the remote interface for this bean. Secs A sudden increase in the value of this measure is a sign of overload on the server.
Avg_create_time Indicates the average method response time for creates. Secs This value should be low for optimal performance of the application server. The value may go high, if there are more objects in the pool, which is a sign of overload.
Pool_size Indicates the average number of objects in the pool. Number A large pool size signifies that some of the objects are not being released by the application.
