SunOne EJB Pools Test

This test reports statistics pertaining to the EJB pools for stateful session beans and entity beans. Use the Click here hyperlink in the test configuration page to configure the EJB groups that need to be monitored by the eG Enterprise. By default, the eG Enterprise system will monitor only those EJBs that are part of a group.

Target of the test : Any Sun Java System application server with one or more entity beans or stateful session beans

Agent deploying the test : An internal agent

Outputs of the test : One set of results for every EJB group configured or every EJB (as thee cae be).

Configurable parameters for the test
Parameter	Description
Test period	How often should the test be executed.
Host	The host for which the test is to be configured.
Port	The port number on which the Sun Java System application server is running.
User	A valid user name for the Sun Java System server to be monitored.
Password	Password for the Sun Java System server to be monitored.
Admin Port	The port number on which the “asadmin” tool runs.
Server	Name of the Sun Java System server to be monitored.
AppServerDir	The directory in which Sun Java System application server is installed.
AutoDiscovery	By default, the eG Enterprise allows administrators to configure EJB groups using the eG administrative interface, and reports metrics pertaining to every group so created. Accordingly, by default, AutoDiscovery is set to No. If you want EJBs to be discovered and monitored automatically, then select the Yes option against AutoDiscovery. When this is done, the eG agent automatically discovers all the EJBs on the Sun Java System application server, and reports one set of measures for every EJB hosted on the server.

Measurements made by the test
Measurement	Description	Measurement Unit	Interpretation
Idle timeout	Returns the time out period set for the bean.	Sec	This is a configuration setting. This measure will not be available for Sun Java Application Server 8.2 and above.
Steady pool size	Indicates the average number of beans that a pool contains during the last measurement period.	Number	This measure will not be available for Sun Java Application Server 8.2 and above.
Beans destroyed	The total number of beans in a pool that have been destroyed by the pool during the last measurement period.	Number
Waiting threads	Returns the number of threads that are waiting to get an instance of the bean	Number	The value of this measure should be low for optimal performance.
Beans in pool	The number of beans in the bean pool currently	Number
Max pool size	The maximum number of beans that the pool can contain	Number	This is a configuration setting.
Pool resize quantity	This is the value by which the pool size can be increased or decreased, as per the requirements.	Number	This is a configuration setting. This measure will not be available for Sun Java Application Server 8.2 and above.
Beans created	Indicates the number of beans that have been created for a pool, during the last measurement period	Number
