Collecting statistics and accounting data

• System Management Facility (SMF) records– Event messages on distributed

• Statistics – SMF record type 115– START TRACE(STAT)

– SMFSTAT system parameter (zPARM)

• Accounting – SMF record type 116– START TRACE(ACCTG)

– SMFACCT system parameter (zPARM)

• Collection interval can be specified using the STATIME system parameter– If zero, the SMF global accounting interval is used

Collecting statistics and accounting data• On distributed platforms enabling statistics and accounting information

generates PCF messages, as per events. On z/OS, this information is generated as System Management Facility (SMF) records instead.

• Statistics information is recorded as SMF 115 records.

• Accounting data is recorded as SMF 116 records.

• The START TRACE command can be used to start collecting this information. A parameter can be provided to specify which type of information should be collected.

• To enable the collection of this information automatically system parameters can be set in the zPARM using CSQ6SYSP. When set, data collection will commence at queue manager start up.

• SMF data is collected in memory and written out at periodic intervals. The interval MQ should use can be set using the STATIME system parameter. If this is set to zero WebSphere MQ uses the SMF global accounting interval.

Page 8: Wtu 2014   ibm web sphere mq for zos - performance and accounting

11

Interpreting SMF data

• SMF record layouts fully documented

• SupportPac MP1B– MQSMF displays formatted records

– Outputs information to various files (DDs)

– Highlights potential out-of-line conditions

– Can also output in comma-separated value (CSV) format for importing in spreadsheets

– MQCMD also available• Automates issuing of DISPLAY commands - outputs to CSV

• Useful for monitoring a given channel or queue

Page 9: Wtu 2014   ibm web sphere mq for zos - performance and accounting

13

Queue manager statistics

• Provides a lot of activity related information– Insignificant overhead so can enable this all the time

– Keep historical data for trend analysis

• Easy to see high-level activity– How much storage the queue manager is using

– How many API calls are occurring

– How much logging is occurring

– How the buffer pools are performing

• Problem diagnosis– What is using CPU?

– What is causing delays?

Page 10: Wtu 2014   ibm web sphere mq for zos - performance and accounting

15

Message Manager statistics

• Provides counts of MQI requests during SMF interval

• Includes both successful and failed requests– MQGET count includes those where no message was available

• Written to MSGM and MSGMCSV DD by MQSMF

• Do you know what your daily/monthly profile looks like?

• Do you have busy hours each day, or busy days each month?– What is the trend?

MQPUT

MQPUT1

MQGET

• The above chart shows potential MQGET inefficiencies

– Multiple application instances ‘competing’ to get the messages?

– Need to index one or more queues?

• Can help to identify growing trends and the need for increased capacity

Page 12: Wtu 2014   ibm web sphere mq for zos - performance and accounting

17

Log Manager statistics

• Constraint for persistent messages is normally the logging rate

• All persistent data changes are logged– Mainly MQPUTs and MQGETs of persistent messages

• Also object changes, etc.

• Primary reporting is on Control Intervals (CIs)– 4KB pages

– If you’re using dual logging 2 CIs are written per 4KB page

• Written to LOG and LOGCSV DD by MQSMF

• Ask the following questions:– Do you have I/O issues?

– Are you checkpointing more than you should?

– Are you backing out more than you should?

Page 13: Wtu 2014   ibm web sphere mq for zos - performance and accounting

19

Logging overview

• Application writes data in to log buffers– May have to wait if no log buffers are available

– Log force requests the log write task to write up to the required RBA• Waits for I/O to complete

• Log write task– Waits for previous I/O to complete

– Looks for highest requested log RBA to write

– Writes up to and including this RBA, then iterates• One log write can include data from many tasks

• More data written per I/O, the longer the I/O time

• As more data is logged by the system an individual transaction’s commit time may increase

Page 14: Wtu 2014   ibm web sphere mq for zos - performance and accounting

20

DASD information

• Writing more data per I/O is more efficient than many short I/Os– An I/O has set-up time and data transfer time (connect) – e.g.

• Set up 0.1 millisecond, connect 0.1 per 4KB page

• One page per I/O = 0.1 + 0.1 = 0.2 ms = 5000/second = 5000 pages/sec

• 9 pages per I/O = 0.1 + 0.9 = 1.0 ms = 1000/second = 9000 pages/sec

– Each larger I/O takes longer but the overall data rate is greater

• Can stripe the log data set across different volumes– Pages 1,5,9 to vol 1; 2,6 to vol 2; 3,7 to vol 3; 4,8 to vol 4

– Can now perform I/O in parallel - can write 3 pages faster than 9!

• Expect 140MB/second per log

22

Logging statistics

•WTB > 0 indicates applications having to wait for buffers to be written first

– OUTBUFF might need to be increased

– Alternatively, DASD might be slow

– MQSMF highlights potential warning conditions:• MQQJST09W QJST requests waiting for buffer 99• MQQJST11W QJST OK logging rate 65 MB/Sec

• Log read when transactions back out

– Log reads also expected during queue manager start-up

– Data read from buffers – good

– Data read from active logs – OK

– Data read from archive logs – BAD – investigate long UOW

– MQSMF messages:• MQQJST00I QJST read log buffers from storage 3433 > 0• MQQJST01W QJST read log buffers from active logs 50838 > 0• MQQJST02S QJST read log buffers from archive logs 15 > 0

Page 17: Wtu 2014   ibm web sphere mq for zos - performance and accounting

23

Logging statistics

•Checkpoints is only incremented when LOGLOAD causes checkpoint– Checkpoints due to a log switch are not counted

•CI_Writes shows 64629 4KB pages have been written– 2.1MB/sec average because SMF interval is 2 minutes = VERY LOW!

• Singular logging because only Log 1 is reported• Look at single page I/O time

– Should be fairly stable – see standard deviation • Multiple page I/O sizes vary

– 312 uSec in example is very good• 1000 uSec is OK – if 2000 or higher then attention is warranted

• Check average number of pages per I/O– If 50 or higher this indicates I/O is constrained by DASD speed or trying to

write too much data• Consider splitting the workload over an additional queue manager

• Longest page I/O took 3.9ms– Useful if investigating performance issues, disk issues?

Page 18: Wtu 2014   ibm web sphere mq for zos - performance and accounting

24

Buffer Manager statistics

• Are the buffer pools performing well?– All private queue messages that are put or got require buffers in a

buffer pool irrespective of persistence

– A badly configured buffer pool may have a significant impact on performance or waste storage

– Configuration of buffer pools is dependent on how they are going to be used

• Short-lived messages– Keep whole working set of messages in buffer pool

• Long-lived messages– More messages than can be contained in memory

– Will always hit disk before being got

• Written to BUFF and BUFFCSV DD by MQSMF

Page 19: Wtu 2014   ibm web sphere mq for zos - performance and accounting

26

Buffer pool statistics

• No buffer available (SOS), buffer steal (STLA) and DMC should be 0– If not, consider increasing buffer pool size

• Asynchronous write threshold (DWT) reached 1236 times– Number of 'dirty' pages >= 85% total pages

• Synchronous write threshold (DMC) not reached above– Number of 'dirty' pages >= 95% total pages

• Version 8 reports if the buffer pool is above the bar and whether it is page-fixed

•MQSMF messages output if buffer pools may be too small:– MQQPST04E BP 3 Many (735) pages read from disk– MQQPST02S BP 3 Filled many (122) times

= BPool 1, Size 5000,%full now 80, Highest %full 92, Disk reads 27019 > 01 Buffs 5000 Low 390 Now 979 Getp 1408819 Getn 137508 01 Rio 27019 STW 648745 TPW 26587 WIO 2417 IMW 12 01 DWT 1236 DMC 0 STL 72300 STLA 8 SOS 0 01 Above the bar PAGECLAS 4KB

Page 20: Wtu 2014   ibm web sphere mq for zos - performance and accounting

27

Buffer pools for short-lived messages

• Aim to keep the full working set of messages in memory– DWT should be 0

• Always at least 15% buffers free

• Pages written (TPW) might be greater than 0 due to checkpoint activity– However, we shouldn’t be writing because of buffer pool getting full!

• Read operations (RIO) should be 0– If we have everything in memory, we should never need to read from

the pageset! • Unless read from a page set after the queue manager is restarted

• You are recommended to have sufficient buffers to handle your peak message rate

Page 21: Wtu 2014   ibm web sphere mq for zos - performance and accounting

28

Buffer pools for long-lived messages

• Expect messages to be written to and read from the page set

• (RIO+TPW)/statistics interval is the I/O rate to page sets

• During period that messages are processed (e.g. written during day and processed overnight)– Number of read I/Os (RIO) should be approximately the total number

of pages written (TPW). • Shows that one page is read for every page written.

• If RIO is much larger than TPW this means pages are being read multiple times.– This might indicate applications getting by message or correlation id

on a queue that is not indexed

Page 22: Wtu 2014   ibm web sphere mq for zos - performance and accounting

29

Accounting data

• Understand application activity

• Can control at queue level using ACCTQ(ON|OFF|QMGR)– QMGR means inherit from ACCTQ queue manager attribute

• Costs 5-10% CPU overhead

• Heavyweight – multiple records may be cut for each transaction, and at SMF intervals for long running units of work– Get a lot of useful information about what is being done!

– However, enabling this has been known to swamp an SMF environment

• Task/thread and queue statistics

• Even though prolific:– Turn on for a few minutes each month to get view of activity

– Become familiar with the data and the usage patterns

Channel initiator statistics and accounting data

• Version 8 introduces statistics and accounting data for:– Channel initiator address space – Channel activity

• This information can be used for:– Monitoring– Capacity planning– Tuning

• Previously, many customers have created their own ‘monitoring’ jobs which issue periodic DISPLAY CHSTATUS– Using this information it is difficult to:

• Manage historical data• Perform capacity planning• Investigate channel performance issues

• Separate controls from queue manager allows 'opt in'• Updated MP1B SupportPac will format the data and introduces rule based

reporting

37

Channel initiator SMF controls

• Channel initiator SMF data is collected at the same interval as the queue manager

• Channel initiator statistics (STAT) trace– Provides a high level view of activity in the CHINIT address space

• Channel initiator accounting (ACCTG) trace– Provides a detailed view of individual channels

– STATCHL channel attribute controls granularity• Equivalent to ACCTQ for queues

• Data collected is a superset of that collected in the PCF messages on distributed

Page 28: Wtu 2014   ibm web sphere mq for zos - performance and accounting

38

Channel statistics versus accounting data

• Statistics– Information about number of channels and TCB usage

– Dispatchers, Adapters, DNS, SSL

– Do I need more or less dispatchers?

– Do I need more or less adapters?

– Do I have spare capacity?

• Accounting– What have the channels done?

– What are the high use channels?

Channel accounting data

• Accounting (ACCTG) trace CLASS(4) enables collection of individual channel information

• Channels can be included/excluded from collection– Channel STATCHL attribute for predefined channels

– Queue manager STATACLS attribute for auto-defined cluster channels• Controls all auto-defined channels, not individually

– Queue manager STATCHL attribute for client channels

• Generally low cost as most channels are long lived

• Consider if you have a lot of short lived client connections

• Gives detailed information for each channel– What has the channel done?

– What are my busy channels?

Channel accounting SMF 116 sub-type 10

• For each channel instance– Channel name– Channel disposition– Channel type– Channel state– STATCHL setting– Connection name– Date/time of last channel status changed– Last message date/time– Channel batch size– Num of messages– Num of persistent messages– Num of batches– Num of full batches– Num of transmission buffers sent– Num of transmission buffers received– Current shared conversations– Num of bytes

– Num of persistent bytes– Number of bytes sent (both control data

and message data)– Number of bytes received (both control

data and message data)– Compression rate– Exit time average– Exit time min– Exit time max– Exit time max date/time– Net time average– Net time min– Net time max– Net time max date/time– Remote queue manager/application name– Put retry count– Transmission queue empty count
