Agenda • Why do you need a monitor? • Monitoring Alternatives • What Are VSTs? • A Monitoring Architecture • Customizing And Extending The Code • Basic Capabilities • Advanced Features
What Are VSTs? • Virtual System Tables • A 4GL View of Progress Data Structures (the same as those shown in PROMON.) • No Performance Impact (unless you do some really dumb things!) • Primarily Read-Only • Not Terribly “User Friendly” • Quirky at times…
Some VST Quirks • Updateable: • _startup._spin • Private buffers • APW settings • Table & Index Ranges: • -tablebase, -tablerangesize • -indexbase, -indexrangesize • Table & Index Window can be reset! • Quirky Keys: • _myconnection… • _tablestat & _indexstat
User Number/Id VST Confusion… find _myconnection no-lock. find _connect no-lock where _connect-usr = _myconn-userid. display _connect-usr _connect-id _myconn-userid. find _userio no-lock where _userio-usr = _connect-usr. display _userio-id _userio-usr. User-Id _Connect-Id MyConn-UserId _UserIO-Id Usr ======= =========== ============= =========== =========== 253 254 253 254 253
Table Stats /** This does NOT work if –tablebase <> 1!!! find _File no-lock where _File._File-num = p_tbl. find _TableStat no-lock where _TableStat-id = p_tbl. display p_tbl _file-num _TableStat-id. **/ /*** instead, use the following: ***/ find _TableStat no-lock where _TableStat-id = p_tbl. find _File no-lock where _File._File-num = _TableStat-id. display p_tbl _file-num _TableStat-id.
Index Name find _IndexStat no-lock where _IndexStat-id = p_idx. find _Index no-lock where _Index._Idx-num = _IndexStat-id. find _File where recid( _File ) = _Index._File-recid. tt_index.idxnote = _File._File-name + “.” + _Index._Index-name + ( if _file._prime-index = recid(_index) then “ P" else “ " ) + ( if _index._unique then "U" else "" )

Customizing And Extending The Code • Events That A Module Handles • Structure Of A Module • Defining the Display • Maintaining State • Adding Help • Making A Module Available
Events That A Module Handles • Mon-Restart • Empty Temp-Table • Remove self from memory • Mon-Init • Empty Temp-Table • Define Display Data Elements • Mon-Update • Refresh Data • Calculate intervals, rates and so forth • Update UI Temp-Table with results
Structure Of A Module {lib/protop.i}def var support as character no-undo initial “Resources”.{lib/tt_xstat.i}procedure mon-restart: empty temp-table tt_xstat. delete procedure this-procedure.end.procedure mon-init:empty temp-table tt_xstat. /* define labels */end.procedure mon-update: /* the real work */end.subscribe to “mon-restart” anywhere run-procedure “mon-restart”.subscribe to “mon-init” anywhere run-procedure “mon-init”.subscribe to “mon-update” anywhere run-procedure “mon-update”.publish “register-disp-type” ( input support ).
Defining the Display ui-define-label( support, 1, 1, "xid", " Id" ). ui-define-label( support, 1, 2, "xname", "Resource " ). ui-define-label( support, 1, 5, "stat1", " Locks" ). ui-define-label( support, 1, 6, "stat2", " Waits" ). ui-define-label( support, 1, 8, "stat-ratio", " Lock%" ). ui-define-label( support, /* display type */ 1, /* variant */ 8, /* order */ "stat-ratio", /* data element name */ " Lock%“ /* label value */ ).
Maintaining State define temp-table tt_xstat no-undo field xid as integer field xvalid as logical field xname as character field misc1 as character field misc2 as character field stat1 as integer extent 5 field stat2 as integer extent 5 field stat3 as integer extent 5 field stat-ratio as decimal index xid-idx is unique primary xid.
Sample, Summary, Rate & Raw Data • BaseValue • LastValue • ThisValue • SampleTime • SummaryTime • SampleRate = (ThisValue – LastValue) / SampleTime. • SummaryRate = (ThisValue –BaseValue) /SummaryTime. • SampleRaw = (ThisValue – LastValue) / 1. • SummaryRaw = (ThisValue – BaseValue) / 1.
Updating Data for each dictdb._Resrc no-lock: run update_xstat ( input _Resrc-Id, input _Resrc-name, input "", input "", input _Resrc-lock, input _Resrc-wait, input 0 ). end. ui-det(support, 1, i, 1, "xid", string(tt_xstat.xid, ">>9")). ui-det(support, 1, i, 2, "xname", string(tt_xstat.xname, "x(20)")). ui-det(support, 1, i, 5, "stat1", string((tt_xstat.stat1[x]/z), ">>>>>>>>>9")). ui-det(support, 1, i, 6, "stat2", string((tt_xstat.stat2[x]/z), ">>>>>>>>>9")). ui-det(support, 1, i, 8, "stat-ratio", string(tt_xstat.stat-ratio, ">>9.99%")).
Adding Help • Help files are in the “hlp” directory. • File name is value(“hlp/” + support + “.hlp”) • Title the screen. • Provide an overview of the screen. Try to explain why the metrics are important and how they are related to other metrics. • Define each label and give some insight into its meaning. • Provide explanations of any codes that might appear under a label.
FileIO.hlp IO Operations to Database Extents Id:The extent id number. Extent Name:The file name of the extent. Mode: The "mode" in which the file is opened. Possible values are: BUFIOThe extent is opened for buffered IO. UNBUFIOThe extent is opened for un-buffered IO. BOTHIOThe extent is opened for both buffered and un-buffered IO. Variable extents are opened with BOTHIO (there are two file descriptors unless you're using -directio.) BlkSz: The Block size for the extent. This potentially varies between data, before-image and after-image extents. Values are expressed in bytes.
Making A Module Available • Drop it into the “mon/” directory. • “mon/mymetric.p” • If it is OS specific use the “os/” directory • “os/AIX/df.p” • “os/Linux/netstat.p” • Send me a copy so that I can include it in the base distribution!
