Configuring statistics

The Statistics options define the time interval during which probe statistics should be collected.

About this task

To configure statistics:

Procedure

  1. The interval at which counters are returned (Statistics collection interval (seconds)) can be set for each period, and the minimum interval is one second.
  2. Additionally, you can configure probe statistics to be collected for some period of time before tests are executed and after they have completed. The pre-load statistics can provide insight into the system in its quiescent state. The after period can show how the system is impacted after the tests have completed (for example, there might be residual issues with CPU or memory while programs process data after the Rational® Integration Tester tests have completed).
    Note: Using a shorter interval may not improve results. Instead, it may simply increase the amount of data in the database.
