Foglight for Apache 6.3.0 - User Guide

Reference

Foglight for Apache ships with predefined views to help you monitor your application server environment. This topic provides quick reference information about each view. Foglight for Apache displays monitoring data in views that group, format, and display data.

Dashboards are top-level views that do not receive data from other views. Dashboards usually contain several lower-level views. The dashboards supplied with Foglight for Apache, and those created by users, are available in the navigation panel.

Lower-level views in Foglight for Apache can be added to dashboards or can be accessed by drilling down from a dashboard. They receive and display data directly from the Foglight Management Server or from other views. Some views filter or select data that appears in other views in the same dashboard. Some are tree views with expandable nodes for selecting servers, applications, or data.

Web Server Details view

The Web Server Details view provides information about the monitored web server as well as detailed information about web server performance and web site performance on the Performance tab and Web Sites tab respectively.

You can drill down to this view by clicking a web server name on the Summary – All Apache Web Servers view, or by clicking Explore on the Summary – <WebServerName> view.

 
* 
TIP: To view the details for another web server without leaving this view, click the web server name in the upper left corner, and select another server from the list.

Performance tab

The Performance tab is divided into three sections: Worker Status, Performance, and Top 5 Busy Web Sites.

Worker Status

The Worker Status chart on the Performance tab helps you visualize the state of workers on the web server. Use the list of check boxes to show or hide the types of worker status that you want to review from the eleven types available.

Figure 3. Worker Status Chart

By default, all status types except Waiting for Connection and Open slot with no current process are selected and shown.

Performance

The Performance charts on the Performance tab provide an at-a-glance overview of four key web server metrics and their overall health: idle/busy workers, data throughput, open connections, and requests per second.

Figure 4. Performance Charts

The colored bar above each chart indicates the health of that metric. The color changes when an alarm occurs.

The Data Throughput and Requests per Second charts include a baseline envelope that enables you to quickly see when values are above or below the typical operating range. For more information about baselines, see Analyzing Activity Levels with IntelliProfile in the Foglight Administration and Configuration Guide.

Top 5 Busy Web Sites (Connection Count)

The Top 5 Busy Web Sites chart on the Performance tab allows you to compare the five web sites with the highest connection count.
