This field is also returned in the chart table.

Data set

After you select a Data set type, a list of the data on which you can track metrics is returned. For example, if you chose Node for the Data set type, then a list of nodes is displayed. You can select one or more objects from the list. This field is also displayed in the chart table.

Data metric

This option is based on an average calculation and is a predetermined set of values. You can specify the following options for this value:

Concurrent requests
This metric measures the number of concurrent requests per the defined data set selection within the data name selection.
Average throughput
The average throughput metric is calculated in seconds based on the total workflow requests to the on demand router, as defined by the data scope, data name and data set.
Average response times (ms)
The average response time metric is the time in milliseconds it takes for a work request to complete. This metric includes the request from inception, until the request is returned to the client, and is the equivalent of the service time metric plus the wait time in queue metric.
Average wait times in queue (ms)
This metric is the average time in milliseconds that a work request spends waiting to service.
Average service times (ms)
The time in milliseconds to service a request for the on demand router. This metric indicates the time that the on demand router spends getting work to the node where it is completed.
Average queue length
The average number of requests queued per second for any work queue in the environment that is defined by the data scope, data set, and data name.
Average drop rate
The average drop rate is calculated based on the number of work requests that are not processed due to a full queue. Work requests that encounter a full queue are returned to the requestor with an error.
Average relative performance
The relative performance of the configured goal compared to the actual goal value.
Percentile response time
The percentage of requests of the service policy percentile goal that meet the specified response time.
Concurrency requests
The number of seats required for a given dynamic cluster's load coming through a given gateway.
Used memory
Memory used by a process.
CPU utilization
CPU utilization by a process.
Total requests
Total requests for Web modules deployed to a process.
Up time
Total time in seconds that the process has been running.
Total Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) method calls
Total method calls for EJB modules deployed to a process.
Total transactions
Total transactions for a partition.
Free memory
Free memory on a node.
Utilization
The percentage of the resources that are being used and how much resource is available. Utilization measures the node speed and process CPU.
Jobs requested
The number of jobs that arrive at the execution environment (endpoint application) for processing.
Jobs completed
The number of jobs which run to completion at the execution environment.
Execution time

Queue time
The time in milliseconds jobs spent in the queue.
Dispatch time
The total time in milliseconds jobs spent being dispatched.
Dispatch error time
The time in milliseconds for jobs spent being dispatched when dispatch errors occurred.
Total CPU capacity
A floating-point number of MHz of the reference instruction set specified for each node.
CPU consumption by WebSphere processes
CPU consumption by WebSphere® processes on a node.
CPU consumption by other processes
CPU consumption by other processes on a node.

Resident memory
Resident memory of a process.
Power coefficient
The average amount of computing power consumed on a given processing tier by one active request of a given flow, averaged from (a) the time when the autonomic request flow manager (ARFM) gateway forwarded the request to the target server and (b) the time the reply came back from the target server.
Entitled capacity
Specifies the percentage of entitled capacity that is being used by a server partition. This metric is only available for AIX® shared-uncapped micro-partitions.
Maximum entitled capacity
Specifies the maximum percentage of entitled capacity that a server partition can use. This metric is only available for AIX shared-uncapped micro-partitions. The value of this metric is calculated from the idle cycles that are in the shared processor pool for the particular server partition.
Shared partition utilization
Represents the processor utilization of shared partition. The value is calculated with the following formula:
```
(%entitled capacity / %max enttiled capacity) * 100
```
This metric is only valid for AIX shared-uncapped micro-partitions.
Physical processors consumed
Specifies the number of physical processors that are being used by the shared server partition. This metric is only valid for AIX shared-uncapped micro-partitions.
Available pool processors
Specifies the number of processors available in the shared processor pool to which this server partition belongs. This metric is only valid for AIX shared-uncapped micro-partitions.
Admission rate of sessions
Specifies the rate of admission for requests without server affinity, plus the number of session-initiating requests.

Specifies the rate of refusal for requests without server affinity, plus the number of session-initiating requests that were refused.

This field is also displayed in the chart table.

Display data from the selected on demand routers only

When selected, you can choose multiple on demand routers from a list. The chart displays data only for the on demand routers that you select.

Change scope...

Filters the list of available data set objects to chart. For example, by selecting the dynamic cluster scope and an existing dynamic cluster, you can view objects specific to the selected dynamic cluster only. Changing the scope removes all current data sets and resets the scope of the chart. You can choose a certain object type, for example, a dynamic cluster, and then choose a specific object instance. If you choose dynamic cluster, a list of dynamic clusters is displayed.

Choose the object instance and click OK, unless you select the Component stability scope. The default scope is Component stability, and no filtering occurs on the list of available data set objects to chart.

Remove

Removes the selected data from the chart. Select the data that you want to remove in the table and click Remove.

View table

Displays a table of the data in the chart.
