Chapter 1. Workspaces reference A workspace is the working area of the Tivoli Enterprise Portal application window. The Navigator tree contains a list of the workspaces provided by the agent. About workspaces Use the Navigator tree to select the workspace you want to see. As part of the application window, the status bar shows the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server name and port number to which the displayed information applies and the ID of the current user. When you select an item in the Navigator tree, a default workspace is displayed. When you right-click a Navigator item, a menu that includes a Workspace item is displayed. The Workspace item contains a list of workspaces for that Navigator item. Each workspace has at least one view. Some views have links to other workspaces. You can also use the Workspace Gallery tool as described in the Tivoli Enterprise Portal User's Guide to open workspaces. The workspaces in the Navigator are displayed in a Physical view that shows your enterprise as a physical mapping or a dynamically populated logical view that is agent-specific. You can also create a Logical view. The Physical view is the default view. This monitoring agent provides predefined workspaces. You cannot modify or delete the predefined workspaces, but you can create new workspaces by editing them and saving the changes with a different name. Workspace views can be any combination of query-based views, event views, and special purpose views. Additional information about workspaces For more information about creating, customizing, and working with workspaces, see "Using workspaces" in the Tivoli Enterprise Portal User's Guide. For a list of the predefined workspaces for this monitoring agent and a description of each workspace, see Predefined workspaces and the information about each individual workspace. Some attribute groups for this monitoring agent might not be represented in the predefined workspaces or views for this agent. For a full list of the attribute groups, see Attribute groups for the monitoring agent on page 17. Predefined workspaces The Microsoft.NET Framework agent provides predefined workspaces, which are organized by navigator item. v Microsoft.NET Framework navigator item Microsoft.NET Framework workspace NET Components workspace v ASP NET navigator item ASP NET workspace ASP.NET 64 bit workspace ASP.NET 64 bit Details workspace ASP.NET Details workspace Copyright IBM Corp. 2008, 2017 1

Workspaces are listed under Navigator items. Microsoft.NET Framework Navigator item The workspace descriptions are organized by the Navigator item to which the workspaces are relevant. Microsoft.NET Framework workspace This workspace displays the overall state of the.net Framework. This workspace contains the following views: Memory Usage This bar chart displays the memory usage for the.net processes. High reserved memory indicates that a number of resources are yet to be cleaned. An increase in Total Reserved Bytes over a large period of time suggests fragmentation of the virtual address space. Performance Penalty This bar chart indicates the performance penalty that the application incurs when performing security checks. Run-time code access security checks are performed when a caller demands a particular permission. The run-time check is made on every call by the caller and examines the current thread stack of the caller. Thread Contention Rate This plot chart indicates the rate at which threads in the run time attempt to acquire a managed lock unsuccessfully. Sustained nonzero values can be a cause of concern. Response Time This plot chart helps in identifying throughput degradation and increased response time if values of Requests Execution time and Requests Wait time are higher. Exception Thrown Per Second This bar chart indicates the number of Exceptions thrown per second by every application. If the application throws more than 100 exceptions per second, the performance of the system starts degrading. Make sure that more than 100 exceptions are not thrown per second. When the value exceeds 100, you can take some actions so that it does not reach 500, which is the critical state. A value of more than 500 degrades the performance severely. NET Components workspace The workspace provides the details of.net Components installed on managed system.

Logical threads are managed thread objects in the process. If the logical thread count for an application is increasing unexpectedly, thread stacks might be leaking. Physical threads are native operating system threads that are created and owned by the common language run time, and act as underlying threads for managed thread objects. Waiting Threads This plot chart indicates the number of threads in the.net process that are waiting to acquire a lock. As the number of waiting threads increases, performance degrades.

This workspace contains the following view: Data Collection Status Displays the status of the collection of data from the application. Normally this will display NO ERROR indicating that the agent is collecting application data correctly. If some of the agent's other views are empty this view will help isolate the cause of the failure. PerfMon objects will display the object class name. WMI objects will display the name of the object class including the namespace. SHELL_COMMAND objects will display a descriptive name for the collection and NO_RESPONSE_RECEIVED if the script did not return data, OBJECT_NOT_FOUND or OBJECT_NOT_ACTIVE if the process could not be started. CUSTOM objects will display the name of the attribute group. Each CUSTOM group may display error values specific to the data collection. These are documented in the User's Guide.

Chapter 2. Attributes reference Attributes are the application properties that are being measured and reported by the IBM Tivoli Composite Application Manager for Microsoft Applications: Microsoft.NET Framework Agent. About attributes Attributes are organized into attribute groups. Attributes in an attribute group relate to a single object such as an application, or to a single kind of data such as status information. Attributes in a group can be used in queries, query-based views, situations, policy workflows, take action definitions, and launch application definitions. Chart or table views and situations are two examples of how attributes in a group can be used: v Chart or table views Attributes are displayed in chart and table views. The chart and table views use queries to specify which attribute values to request from a monitoring agent. You use the Properties editor to apply filters and set styles to define the content and appearance of a view based on an existing query. v Situations You use attributes to create situations that monitor the state of your operating system, database, or application. A situation describes a condition you want to test. When you start a situation, the values you assign to the situation attributes are compared with the values collected by the Microsoft.NET Framework agent and registers an event if the condition is met. You are alerted to events by indicator icons that are displayed in the Navigator. Additional information about attributes For more information about using attributes and attribute groups, see the Tivoli Enterprise Portal User's Guide. For a list of the attribute groups, a list of the attributes in each attribute group, and descriptions of the attributes for this monitoring agent, see Attribute groups for the monitoring agent and Attributes in each attribute group on page 21. Attribute groups for the monitoring agent The Microsoft.NET Framework agent contains the following attribute groups. The table name depends on the maximum table name limits of the target database being used for the Tivoli Data Warehouse. If the maximum name is 30 characters, any warehouse table name longer than 30 characters is shortened to 30 characters. v Attribute group name: ASP.NET Applications Error Filter Table name: KQFASPNEF2 Warehouse table name: KQF_ASP_NET_APPS_ERROR_FILTER or KQFASPNEF2 v Attribute group name: ASP.NET Applications Filter Table name: KQFASPNETF Warehouse table name: KQF_ASP_NET_APPS_FILTER or KQFASPNETF v Attribute group name: ASP.NET Applications V1.1 Table name: KQFASPNET0 Warehouse table name: KQF_ASP_NET_APPS_V1_1_4322 or KQFASPNET0 v Attribute group name: ASP.NET Applications V2.0 Copyright IBM Corp. 2008, 2017 17
