In a previous post, we have seen how you can make use of the new feature of IIB v9.0 to enable the collection of statistics for flows, applications or servers and how you can use the Web UI to compare the performance of flows by selecting a resource and looking at the live performance data for flows. Once you have seen how the flows are doing relative to each other, you might want to focus on a particular flow and analyze its performance. This is where the Flow Analysis comes into its own.
You can open this view in one of the two ways:
Tip: If you need to analyze the performance of a specific flow repeatedly, you might want to bookmark its Statistics tab, with an URL of the form:
http://localhost:4414/#messageFlow/1/executiongroups/default/applications/My application/messageflows/My flow1
Once in a Flow Analysis view, you see three sections
The charts and the tables are updated every twenty seconds with a new set of performance figures. The title of the charts section shows the time when the last update took place. The flow profile diagram is static.
In the next section, we'll look into this view in more detail.
