Main Dashboard
The main dashboard provides a global view of the database status and activity. It includes 18 graphs, the first three of which are shown here. All 18 graphs are described below.
Latest Status
This first section provides a quick at-a-glance view of the database's current status, including the backup age and the status of the AI subsystem.
Box | Description |
Last full backup | Elapsed time since the last full backup using probkup. |
Current AI | Sequence number of the current busy after-image extent and the total number of extents |
Full AI extents | Number of full AI extents awaiting archiving |
Locked AI extents | If OE Replication is enabled, the number of locked AI extents |
Empty AI | Number of empty AI extents |
Curr. AI seq | AI sequence number of the current busy AI extent |
Lock HWM | Lock table high water mark. The largest number of simultaneous record locks |
Lock table size | Maximum number of simultaneous record locks (-L startup parameter) |
Avail. TRS* | The number of available slots in tablerangesize for new tables |
Avail. IRS* | The number of available slots in indexrangesize for new indexes |
DB Size | Size of the database |
Version | OpenEdge version |
*If the Avail TRS and/or IRS values are negative, see the Table and Index Range Information page for more information.
General Info Graphs
These graphs give an overall view of connection information and the performance of the underlying infrastructure from a uniquely OpenEge ABL perspective. See the Dashboard View page for descriptions and in depth discussions on the metrics in these panels.
Database IO Graphs
These graphs show the interplay of logical versus physical reads and writes, as well as the hit ratio and the logical-to-record read ratio. See the Dashboard View page for descriptions and in depth discussions on the metrics in these panels.
Transactions and Locks Graphs
These graphs provide detailed historical data on transactions, record locking and BI activity. See the Dashboard View page for descriptions and in depth discussions on the metrics in these panels.
Record Activity
These graphs show detailed historical data for Record Read/Write, (database internal) Resource and Latch Wait and RM chain activity. See the Dashboard View page for descriptions and in depth discussions on the metrics in these panels.
Network Metrics
For applications that query the database across a client-server connection, these very important metrics show how efficient the transport of data is across the network. See the Server Activity page for descriptions and in depth discussions on the metrics in these panels.
The third graph "User Defined" allows customers of the commercial version of ProTop to track up to 8 application KPIs and correlate that data against database activity. See the Dashboard View page for a description of custom metrics.
Async Writer Statistics
The Enterprise Database product includes a number of helper processes designed to offload IO tasks from the broker and other users. See the Dashboard View page for descriptions and in depth discussions on the metrics in these panels.
