JMX extension - JBoss Connection Pools

[a_chiaravalle]

Hi 

Does anyone have documentation about these JBoss Connection Pools metrics ?:

- Total pool time

- Total get time

- Total usage time

I searched in jboss documentation and I found the following, but nothing about the previous ones: 

https://access.redhat.com/documentation/it-it/jboss_enterprise_application_platform/6.3/html/adminis...

thanks

Hi,

You have this extension and you can see with metrics are involved in the bottom.

Best regards

Hi Anton

In this document I found just the following, without any metric description:

Metric name Metric key Description Unit

Total blocking time	jboss.connectionPool.TotalBlockingTime.count	-	MilliSecond
Total creation time	jboss.connectionPool.TotalCreationTime.count	-	MilliSecond
Total pool time	jboss.connectionPool.TotalPoolTime.count	-	MilliSecond
Total get time	jboss.connectionPool.TotalGetTime.count	-	MilliSecond
Total usage time	jboss.connectionPool.TotalUsageTime.count	-	MilliSecond

Thanks and regards

I found some descriptions in a different RedHat doc page: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_jboss_enterprise_application_platform/7.2/html...

• Total pool time: The total time spent by connections in the pool. 
• Total get time: The total time spent obtaining connections. 
• Total usage time: The total time spent using connections. 

Note that in Dynatrace these are being reported as 'counter' metrics so the number you'll see is the delta/change from the previous interval as opposed to the constantly growing value you'd see if you checked these values yourself.
