3. © 2012 IBM Corporation 3 IBM Streams Console Application Graph Agenda  Graph Launch Points  Initial Graph view  Flyovers  Interacting with the Graph using the toolbar actions  Visualizing Stream’s objects using various layouts  Monitoring application health and performance  Limitations Introduction  New function in Concord  Browser based topology of a Streams Application  ILOG Dojo engine for layouts  Supplants the need to launch the IDE to get a Streams topology  Browser based so the topology is viewable external to the cluster  Used to monitor/inspect/investigate instance Health and/or instance Performance

4. © 2012 IBM Corporation 4 Graph Launch Points  Graph button on the Instance Status page launches the Application Graph in a new browser tab  Ability to graphically monitor all applications in the instance while using the other console functions

5. © 2012 IBM Corporation 5 Graph Launch Points  Selecting a job(s) and clicking the Graph toolbar item launches the Application Graph into a new browser tab

6. © 2012 IBM Corporation 6 Graph Launch Points  Application Graph navigation item launches a page inline for all jobs in the instance

7. © 2012 IBM Corporation 7 Application Graph  Initial view - PEs contained within Jobs with the background color representing PE health  View provides high level instance monitoring, above example shows all jobs healthy except job 1  High level indicator (thermometer icon) that shows a health problem – useful if zoomed with no focus of an unhealthy item  Unhealthy jobs can be investigated by expanding the job container to show PEs and operators

8. © 2012 IBM Corporation 8 Application Graph  Flyovers provide health and state reasons  PEs, jobs, and operators have context menus to provide trace

9. © 2012 IBM Corporation 9 Flyover Object Details  Flyovers on Jobs, PEs, Operators, Ports and Streams

10. © 2012 IBM Corporation 10 Graph Interaction  Toolbar refresh options: Manual Refresh, Automatic refresh, timestamp showing last refresh  Graph can be manually updated with the first button in the toolbar  Automatic refresh is turned off by default, enabled with the second button.  Timestamp shows the last refresh

11. © 2012 IBM Corporation 11 Graph Interaction  4 ways provided to show various Streams object containment –PEs in Jobs –PEs – Can be expanded to see operators –Operators –Operators in Jobs  4 ways to color graph to represent application performance –Tuple or Byte rate –Health –Congestion  Current selection is shown next to the toolbar icon

12. © 2012 IBM Corporation 12 Job/PE Layout colored by Health  Job/PE layout  Three levels of nested expansion to aid in navigating larger graphs  Imported/exported streams represented with a green port color

13. © 2012 IBM Corporation 13 Job/PE layout colored by a rate metric  Tuple and byte rate application throughput represented by line thickness and PE background color  Low throughput blues, medium throughput purples, high throughput reds, no throughput white

14. © 2012 IBM Corporation 14 PE layout colored by Health

15. © 2012 IBM Corporation 15 Operator layout colored by tuple rate metric

16. © 2012 IBM Corporation 16 PE layout colored by congestion  Line thickness and color represent the congested areas  Congestion shown in the Job/PE and PE only layouts

17. © 2012 IBM Corporation 17 Graph Interaction  Zoom out, zoom to specific percent, zoom in, zoom to 100%, zoom to fit enable the graph to show more or less detail as needed

18. © 2012 IBM Corporation 18 Graph Interaction  Schema details and Operator icons are turned off by default to reduce the amount of data flowing to the browser

19. © 2012 IBM Corporation 19 Limitations  The console application graph is a browser based solution therefore the performance will vary widely depending on the network speed, the available memory, the pc or laptop processor speed, the JavaScript engine performance, etc..  The application graph object load threshold shown above enables a warning message within the application graph when the number of PEs and PE links exceeds the value.  The setting is provided to allow intervention before loading a large graph that may take a long time, or hang the browser window or even crash the browser window.  Filtering by selecting a job(s) from the Jobs navigation item is one way to get around the large graph problem.  After the initial load the refresh time is substantially faster.
