Microservices Runtime NIO Buffer Pools Test

NIO (Non-blocking Input/Output) buffer pools in the webMethods Microservices Runtime environment are memory pools used to efficiently manage buffers for non-blocking I/O operations. These buffers are utilized during network communication, such as reading from or writing to sockets, enabling high-performance, asynchronous data processing. Using this test, the administrators can monitor buffer allocation, usage, and availability to ensure sufficient buffer resources for network I/O operations.

Target of the test : webMethods Microservices Runtime

Agent deploying the test : A remote agent

Outputs of the test : One set of results for each NIO buffer pool in the target webMethods Microservices Runtime server.

Configurable parameters for the test
Parameter	Description
Test period	How often should the test be executed
Host	The IP address of the target for which the test is to be configured.
Port	The port number at which the specified target listens to. By default, this will be 5555.
User and Password	Specify the credentials of a user who has the right to execute API commands on the target and pull out metrics. The specified user is the User who should possess Administator privileges and should be associated with the Logon as a Service policy.
Confirm Password	Confirm the password by retyping it here.
SSL	Set this flag to Yes, if the target being monitored is SSL-enabled.

Measurements made by the test
Measurement	Description	Measurement Unit
Total buffer pools	Indicates the total number of NIO buffer pools.	Number
Allocated size	Indicates the amount of memory initially allocated in this buffer pool at startup.	MB
Used size	Indicates the amount of memory utilized by this buffer pool.	MB
