The Tivoli Performance Viewer (TPV) provides an easy way to store real-time data for system resources, WebSphere Application Server pools and queues, and applications in log files for later retrieval. You can start and stop logging while viewing current activity for a server, and later replay this data. Logging of performance data captures performance data in windows of time so you can later analyze the data.
You can study the sequence of events that led to a peculiar condition in the application server or node agent.
First, enable TPV logging so performance data generated in the application server persists in a log file stored at a specific location. Later, using the replay feature in TPV, view the performance data that was generated in exactly the same chronological order as it was generated in real time, enabling you to analyze a prior sequence of events.
You do not need to know the syntax and format in which log files are generated and stored. Do not edit log files generated by TPV; doing so will irrecoverably corrupt or destroy the performance data stored in the log files.
If monitoring for the node agent is enabled, the log file includes system data from the node agent so that data is available when you replay the log. If monitoring for the node agent is disabled, then that data is not available. By default, TPV starts monitoring the node agent whenever monitoring starts on a server in the node.
You can create and view logs in the administrative console.
