About statistics handling
The statistics functions measures the usage of BEA WebLogic Network Gatekeeper and the network service provided by BEA WebLogic Network Gatekeeper. The usage is measured in the number of transactions handled by each service.
Statistics reports can be generated for the whole system or for individual SLEEs and/or network services. Also, the desired time period can be specified.
A pre-defined report type is the weekly report. It shows the total BEA WebLogic Network Gatekeeper usage hour by hour during a specified week. The weekly report also shows total usage for each day and the average transaction rate (transactions/second (tps)) during the busy hour of each day. A busy hour is defined as the 60 minutes during which the largest number of transactions are handled. That is, any 60 minutes (5 minute intervals are used) can be the identified as the busy hour.
