AES Cluster Reports

This section provides reports for clusters and the nodes that comprise them.

To access the reports:

1. Select a cluster from the pull-down list.
2. For Time Range reports, select a start and end date.
3. For node reports, select a node from the pull-down list.

Cluster reports (no time range)

• All Alerts — Displays a list of alert types and counts for all the nodes within the cluster. The list is sorted by count. Click on a row to display the problem correlations for that alert type and the count of alerts associated with each problem.

Click a row to display creation time, operator, and KPI threshold information about each of the alerts comprising the problem correlation.

Click a row to open an alert item. This report is also available using the Alerts by Category option in the Action Items area.

Cluster reports with time range

The items included in these reports are defined by the start date and end dates you selected.

• Total Alerts by Node — Displays a chart and a list showing the alert count for each node in the cluster. Click a node name to open the list of alerts.
• Total Alerts by Day — Displays a chart and a list showing the daily count for all alerts. Click the cluster name to open the list of alerts.

• Restarts by Day — Displays a chart and a list showing the daily count of PEGA0008 alerts. Click the cluster name to open the list of alerts.
• Uptime Timeline by Node — Displays a bar chart showing the duration of uptime for each node in the cluster. The yellow bar indicates uptime. Hover over a bar to display the statistics. Use the Day, Week, and Show All buttons to control the timeline within the defined date range.
  
• Browser Interactions by Node — Displays a chart and a list showing the total count of browser interactions for each node in the cluster.

The following reports display a chart and list or browser requestor times (in seconds). The charts use data retrieved from the monitored nodes as daily Log-Usage statistics. Network time is not included.

• Average Response Time by Node — Displays a chart showing, during the defined time range, the average times for each node in the cluster.
• Average Response Time by Day — Displays a chart showing the daily average times for the cluster.
• Total Response Time by Day — Displays a chart showing the daily cumulative times for the cluster.

Node reports with time range

The items included in these reports are defined by the start date and end dates, and by the node you select.

• Alert Counts by Type — Displays a chart and a list showing the count for each alert type. Click the alert type to open the list of alerts.
• Restarts — Displays a chart and a list showing the daily count of PEGA0008 alerts. Click the node name to open the list of alerts.
• Availability — Displays a list of time stamps indicating when the node started and when the last health message for that start time was received (beyond which the node was no longer available). The difference in times defines the duration of node uptime. The Uptime Timeline by Node cluster report provides the same information for all nodes in graphical format.

AES Enterprise Reports

This section provides the following reports:

• Nodes Summary — Displays a summary snapshot of the cluster's operational status including up time and counts for active requestors, agents, listeners, and database connection. To update the statistics, click the Refresh icon. This report is also available Enterprise Health work area on the Summary tab at cluster view
• Nodes List — Contains a list of Node Information data instances (PegaAES-Data-Nodes) that comprise the clusters across the enterprise.
  
  Click a node in the list to open its Node Information data instance form. You can use the form to enable or disable the node, or to modify the Description, Connection String, or Original Connection String values.
• Alerts By Category By Day — Provides an interactive graph and list of counts for each alert category. The counts are grouped daily over the previous two weeks.
  The graph updates automatically as of each system pulse.To display the daily statistics, hover over a graph line where it intersects with a vertical date line.
  
• Alerts By Day — Displays a chart and a list showing the daily count of alerts for all nodes across enterprise.
• All Alerts by Category — Provides counts of alerts in each category across the enterprise.

AES Enterprise Charts

This section displays a set of interactive charts that use requestor data collected during the prior two weeks from all nodes in the enterprise. You can create reports for an enterprise production level (set in the System data instance) or for all production levels.

To open a chart, select a production level and click the report that you want to display:

• Enterprise Browser Average Response Time — The average processing time (in seconds) for browser requestors for a given date. The chart uses log usage data collected nightly from all nodes in the enterprise. This number does not include network time.
  
• Enterprise Interactions by Requestor Type — A count of application, batch, and browser interactions. The chart uses log usage data collected nightly from all nodes in the enterprise. Each requestor type is represented by a its own line.
  
• Enterprise Max Unique Users in Day — A count of the maximum number of browser users. The chart uses log usage data collected nightly from all nodes in the enterprise.
  
• Enterprise Browser Interaction Alerts — A count of browser interaction alerts (PEGA0001 - HTTP interaction time exceeds limit). The chart uses real-time alert data generated by all nodes in the enterprise. This data correlates to the Enterprise Browser Average Response Time chart shown above.
  
• All Reports — Displays the four Enterprise charts for all production levels.

Analyze Application Performance for Alerts

This section enables you to produce interactive charts that profile system statistics in the cluster and application you select in the drop-down lists.

These charts correlate an application's performance to system changes over a span of two weeks.

• CPU Time Profile for all alerts
  
• Elapsed Time Profile for all alerts
  
• Database Access Profile for all alerts
  
• Elapses Time Profile for Browser Interactions
  
  

Action Items by Status

This section contains interactive charts that indicate the trend of alert counts for open, resolved, and new action items over a span of 15 days. To generate cluster reports, select one in the Select a cluster list and click the desired report. For enterprise-wide reports, make a selection in the Action Items For All Clusters group.
