EXPAND Communications Line Overview (EXPAND)
EXPAND Communications Line Overview (EXPAND)
This 74-column chart provides a tabular overview of Expand communication lines. It
includes:
•
Line name
•
Requests per second
•
Input bits per second
•
Output bits per second
•
Primary I/O process CPU busy percentage
•
Primary I/O process receive queue milliseconds per request
•
Primary I/O process CPU busy milliseconds per request
•
Average input bytes per request
•
Average output bytes per request
•
Actual primary I/O process name if the line is multiple
This chart uses the GLOBINFO, EXLINE, and PROCESS entities.
Parameters used are:
•
LID—specifies the Measure Load ID
•
SECTION—specifies the report section number
The chart is sorted in descending order of line type and total input and output bytes.
Global Indicators (COVER)
This 74-column chart is a cover page for the set of charts and reports. It shows global
information, which includes:
