Runtime Map

The runtime map console panel is a visual viewpoint into the health of your application server environment. From this page you can easily view the entire environment as a color coded, size appropriate, and searchable map. To view this page, click Runtime Operations > Runtime Map.

The runtime map is meant to be used as an assessment tool to gain an active perspective on the health of your entire environment. An example of a runtime map can be seen here:

The above image displays an example of the runtime map. At the largest, the view contains a cell, and the respective node groups contained within. Displayed within each node group are the dynamic clusters that are affiliated with each. In the example above, the cell contains two node groups. Node group 1 contains 3 dynamic clusters, entitled DC_A, DC_B, and DC_C. Within each dynamic cluster are anywhere from one to four nodes. Node group 2 contains one dynamic cluster and one node. The nodes carry a color coding, from green to red. Green indicates a healthy utilization, while the red indicates an unhealthy state. The nodes are also appropriately sized according to the actual workload. In the above picture the node running in dynamic cluster d (DC_D) indicates the need for immediate attention.

Beginning on the left most frame of the page, the following are the interactive features of the runtime topology:
Set refresh rateThe refresh rate is the time, in seconds, that the runtime map is being updated. In most cases, the default refresh rate is sufficient. However, if your environment is extremely active you may want to set a lower refresh value.
SearchThe search field allows users to find specific instances of operational policy (service class or transaction class) and nodes. Once a paramater has been passed into the search all the resulting entries will be highlighted on the map
Runtime mapThe map is updated automatically from your runtime configuration. As your environment changes, your map will also change. The map is color coded to indicate the health of your environment. Green nodes are healthy and available for work, while red nodes indicate an unhealthy state which warrant attention. Moving the mouse over the map invokes the hover help feature, which displays the specifics of the cell, node group, dynamic clusters, or nodes you are hovering over.
