Cluster reporting

Customized charting can demonstrate if goals are being met. To realize the benefits of using this virtualized environment, it is important to know how your dynamic clusters are performing. Dynamic charting provides a visual perspective of this performance. Specifically, statistics such as availability, response time, traffic, and throughput are available. A wide range of options from which you can create various charts is provided.

To view this administrative console, click Servers > Clusters > Dynamic clusters > dynamic_cluster > Reports tab or Servers > Clusters > WebSpere application server cluster > cluster_name > Reports tab.
