Top Activity Dashboard

Top Activity Dashboard

The Top Activity dashboard provides performance details for SQL operations. This dashboard contains the following tabs:

•
Top Hash Tab
•
Top SQL Tab
•
Top Procedures Tab
•
Top Users Tab
•
Current Top Sessions Tab
•
SQL Details Tab
•
Blocked Tree Tab
•
System Wait Events Tab
•
Spinlocks Tab
•
Execution Time Tab

Top Hash Tab

Top Hash Tab

The Top Hash information is provided in a table. The Top Hash table has the same columns and drilldowns as the Top SQL Table.

Adaptive Server uses the statement cache to store the text of cached SQL statements. This tab displays the SQL statements executed from the statement cache along with their bind variables, if they exist. Information that appears on this tab depends on a set of the following Sybase configuration parameters:

sp_configure "enable stmt cache monitoring" 1
sp_configure 'statement cache size'
sp_configure 'enable literal autoparam'
* 
TIP: If enable literal autoparam is disabled, all SQL statements appear separately. Using this parameter has a number of advantages. For complete information, see your Sybase documentation.

For complete information about the required parameters, see “Adaptive Server Enterprise configuration parameters” in the Foglight for Sybase Release Notes.

Selecting an option button for an individual SQL text line shows the SQL Execution Statistics Dialog Box.. This dialog box shows the SQL details about a selected line of SQL text.

* 
IMPORTANT: This dashboard is only supported with Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise version 15.02 and higher.
Figure 4. SQL Execution Statistics Dialog Box.

Top Hash Filters

The Top Hash filters are the same as the Top SQL Filters.

Server Statistics Pane

The Server Statistics pane on the Top Hash tab is the same as the Server Statistics Pane on the Top SQL tab.

For more information on the Server Statistics pane, click the ? toward the top left of the pane.

Top SQL Tab

Top SQL Tab

The Top SQL information is provided in a table, which is sorted by the Avg Duration (ms) column.

Table 11. Top SQL Table
Name
Description

Option button

Shows additional information about the selected statement. For more information, see SQL Execution Statistics Dialog Box. .

SQL Text

The SQL (Structured Query Language) statement.

SQL Executions

The number of SQL executions for this SQL statement.

Avg. Duration (ms)

The average amount of time the SQL statement took to run in milliseconds.

Max. Duration (ms)

The maximum amount of time the SQL statement took to run in milliseconds.

Min. Duration (ms)

The minimum amount of time the SQL statement took to run in milliseconds.

Avg. CPU (ms)

The average CPU time spent executing the SQL statement, in milliseconds.

Avg. Phys. Reads

Average physical reads: the average number of buffers read from disk.

Avg. Logical Reads

Average logical reads: the average number of buffers read from cache.

Avg. Packets Sent

Average packets sent: the average number network packets sent by Adaptive Server.

Avg. Wait Time (ms)

Average wait time in milliseconds: the average number of milliseconds a task has waited during execution of the SQL statement.

Top SQL Filters

This filter allows you to thoroughly investigate a large number of SQL statements and is especially helpful when a long retention policy is configured. The filter applies to the Top SQL, Top Procedures and Top Hash values.

The following rules apply to the search methods:

•
The search is not case sensitive (for example, "abc", "Abc" and ABC" are considered to be the same string).
•
The search does not support wildcards, but does not require you to enter the entire word.
•
To exclude certain strings from search, use the dash (-) sign
For example, type -sa to exclude sa user
•
To search using multiple parameters, separate each parameter with a comma
For example, to find all abc and def users, type "abc,def"
•
To zoom-in on a specific point in time, rather than the entire time range:
•
Click the requested point on the plotted line (for example: 15:40).
•
Data is then displayed for this point, and for points that are within a user-defined amount of time before and after it, as specified in seconds on the Time before and after (seconds) field.
In the example above, if the specified time is 15:40 and the value entered in the field is 300, the search would include the time range between 15:35 and 15:45.

The search process is carried out using the following steps:

•
The SQL statements are filtered using one or more fields, and are sorted based on the criterion selected in the "Sort by" list.
For example, only the SQL statements with the login name "QA" and the application name "DBISQL" will be retrieved.
•
Because even after filtering, the number of rows retrieved can be extremely large (50,000 or higher), the value entered in the "Max Rows After Filter" field of the Default values section to the right of this box limits the number of rows to be aggregated (by default: the top 5,000 rows).
•
The filtered and sorted SQL statements are aggregated.

The combination of a filter and the "Max rows after filter" field significantly reduces the dashboard response time, by limiting the highly time-consuming aggregation process.
