View the Application Information

When enabled, Java Usage Tracker sends the information that it collects to the AMC Collector in a User Datagram Protocol (UDP) packet. This information is shown in the Apps view in the AMC UI.

To view the information that has been collected, start the AMC UI. See Start and Stop the AMC UI.

From the Home view, click either Apps or View Java usage across your enterprise to show the Apps view. Table 3-1 describes the information that is shown for each application.

Headings without a check mark are not currently shown in the table. To hide a column that is currently shown, or show a column that is currently hidden, click the heading in the list.

Rearrange columns by dragging the column heading to a different location. To change the size of the column, click the separator after the column heading and drag it to the desired size.

Search for Applications

A search field is available to help you find the information for specific applications. Enter a search term in the search field. The view is automatically updated to show you the applications that match the term.

You can choose the columns in the Apps table that you want included in the search. Click filter to show the list of columns. Columns that are currently searched are identified with a check mark. Columns without a check mark are not currently searched. To exclude a column that is currently included, or include a column that is currently excluded, click the heading in the list.

Tip:

You can search on a column even if that column is hidden in the Apps view. If you see unexpected results, it is possible that the search term matched information in a column that is hidden.
