Measure

PMI Measure

Performance Monitoring Infrastructure (PMI) measure.

Measurement Frequency

How is that read and configured?

Measurement Storage

Aggregation

Events captured for a Measure are aggregated into a measurement per 10 seconds interval. Each measurement can be aggregated as follows:

• average - average of all event values per interval
• minimum - retain the minimum encountered value per interval
• maximum - retain the maximum encountered value per interval
• count - retain the event count per interval.
• sum - calculate the sum of all event values per interval.

This is an example of how aggregation can be configured for a JMX measure.

Dashboard
