Engine Details Tab

Engine Details Tab

Engine details information is provided in a table and a chart:

•	Engine Details Table

•	Engine Summary Charts

Figure 22. Engine Details Tab

Engine Details Table

You can filter the Engine Details table to include:

•

Engines

•	Engine Groups / Thread Pools

•	Engines and Groups / Thread Pools

IMPORTANT: Thread pool information is only available from Sybase ASE 15.7 ESD2 and later.

 

Table 31. Engine Details Table Description

Name	Description
Engine
No.	The engine number.
Current Status	The current status of the engine: online or offline. Hovering over this value provides more information.
Last Sample
Eng. Busy %	The percentage busy for this engine.
CPU Busy %	The percentage CPU time all engines spent not idle.
I/O Busy %	The percentage of input/output resources currently being used by the database engine.
Cont. Switches %	The percentage of the total number of context switches for the engine divided by those completed for all engines.
Context Switches rate (c/s)	The count of context switches for the engine occurring per second.
Disk IO Checks rate	The number of times the engine checked for asynchronous disk I/O.
Checks Returning I/O %	The percentage of disk I/O checks with I/O pending.
Async IO Completed	The number of times the engine completed I/O.
Processes Affinitied	The number of processes affined with the engine.
Time Range Period
Total Busy	The percentage busy for all of the database engines.
Avg Busy %	The average percentage busy for all of the database engines.
Max Busy %	The maximum percentage busy for all of the database engines.
Avg I/O Busy %	The average percentage of input/output resources currently being used by all of the database engines.
Avg CPU Busy %	The average percentage CPU time all database engines spent not idle.
Cont. Switches %	The percentage of the total number of context switches for one engine divided by those completed for all engines.

Engine Summary Charts

 

Name	Description
Engine Summary	The following three values, plotted over time: • Average Engine Total Busy • Average Engine I/O Busy • Average Engine CPU Busy
Engines Busy	Plots how busy an engine was over time. Select from the list of available engines.
Engine Groups / Thread Pools Busy 1	Plots an average of how busy an engine group or thread pool was over time. Select from the list of available engine groups or thread pools.

1

For thread pools, this information is only available from Sybase ASE 15.7 ESD2 and later.

To view a plot of the maximum value over the course of the time period, select Show Maximum.

Engines Processes Tab

Engines Processes Tab

The engine processes information is provided in three charts.

Engine Processes Charts

 

Table 32. Engine Processes Chart Description

Name	Description
Engine Summary	The following values, plotted over time: • Average Engine Total Busy • Average Engine I/O Busy • Average Engine CPU Busy
Active Processes	The number of engine processes running, plotted over time.
Context Switches	The number of engine context switches, plotted over time.

Engines Host Tab

Engines Host Tab

The engines host information is provided in two charts.

Engines Host Charts

 

Table 33. Engine Host Charts Descriptions

Name	Description
Engines Host	The following values, plotted over time, for each engine: • Sybase Engines. The percentage of engine utilization. • Host CPUs. The percentage of utilized host CPU resources being used by the Sybase engines.
All Engines Activity	The percentage of activity for each engine.

Engines Compare Tab

Engines Compare Tab

The engines compare information is provided in three charts.

Engines Compare Charts

 

Table 34. Engines Compare Charts Description

Name	Description
Engines - time range	The following values, plotted over time: • Average Engine Total Busy • Average Engine I/O Busy • Average Engine CPU Busy
Engines - month, day, year	This displays the plotted values for the previous day (that is, yesterday). The following values, plotted over time: • Average Engine Total Busy • Average Engine I/O Busy • Average Engine CPU Busy
Engines - month, day, year	This displays the plotted values from today minus seven days (that is, a week ago) for a 24 hour period. The following values, plotted over time: • Average Engine Total Busy • Average Engine I/O Busy • Average Engine CPU Busy
