RTView® for APM | TIBCO® EMS Monitor
User Guide


Using the Monitor - EMS Destinations
These displays present several views of performance metrics for destinations. You can view all topics and queues that are defined on a specific server in the All Topics for Server and All Queues for Server displays. Or you can view all servers that have a specific topic or queue defined in the Single Topic Summary and Single Queue Summary displays. The Topic Detail By Server and Queue Detail By Server displays provide a list of all the servers those destinations are defined on.

  • All Topics for Server: Shows performance and utilization metrics and trends for all topics defined on a specified server, including consumer and subscriber count, memory utilization and message performance metrics.
  • Single Topic Summary: Shows detailed performance and utilization metrics and trends for a specified topic on a single server, including producer and consumer counts, and message performance metrics.
  • Topic Detail By Server: Table shows performance and utilization metrics for all servers that have a specified topic defined, including consumer and subscriber count, and message performance metrics.
  • All Queues for Server: Shows performance and utilization metrics and trends for all queues defined on a specified server, including message performance metrics.
  • Single Queue Summary: Shows detailed performance and utilization metrics and trends for a specified queue on a single server, including producer and consumer counts, and message performance metrics.
  • Queue Detail By Server: Table shows performance and utilization metrics for all servers that have a specified queue defined, including consumer and receiver count, and message performance metrics.
