Chart View #2 - CPU Time

Each chart image generated with view #2 displays 30 days of CPU time use by synchronous web requests at the SYSID level (CSV data extract 1), Web Server level (CSV data extract 2), and Request Type level (CSV data extract (3).

CPU time is broken down by where it was consumed (CP, zIIP, or zAAP processors), and if on a CP processor, the portion, if any that was zIIP or zAAP processor eligible. Additionally, the request count is displayed using a horizontal line and the right y axis.

The level of detail provided by Chart View #2 for each of the three CSV data extracts is similar to that described above for Chart View #1. For the specific information provided with Chart View #2 charts in each CSV data extract, refer to the DATA EXTRACTS section below.

The first chart sample above is an example of Chart View #2, generated by the 30 Day Web Server Analysis SYSID by DAY CSV data extract (1). This chart shows the hourly CPU use for synchronous requests by all web servers hosted on SYSID XAD1 on an IBM 2827-615 (zEC12 CPC with 15 sub-capacity CP engines). You can see that the majority of CPU use for synchronous requests occurs on CP processors (dark blue bar segments). About 1/3rd of CPU use occurs on zIIP processors (green bar segments), and access to zIIP processors should be examined, because the zIIP eligible CPU time executed on CP processor engines in fairly significant (red bar segments).
