Fusion Middleware Control provides various performance metrics for administrators.
The following sections provide more details:
Using Fusion Middleware Control, you can view performance metrics for live sessions in a variety of formats.
Fusion Middleware Control provides Administrators with:
A cluster-wide view of performance for Access Manager with Security Token Service
A per-server drill-down of key performance metrics
The ability to quickly add or remove performance metrics
Table 12-2 summarizes the pages for selected nodes and target instances.
Table 12-2 Resulting Pages for Selected Nodes and Targets

Note:
Security Token Service performance is included with relevant OAM Cluster and Server pages.
The Fusion Middleware Control Performance Overview can be used to reflect WebLogic cluster information down to specific performance metrics for individual Cluster and Server targets.
Cluster Page: The top node within Identity and Access leads to a page for the OAM Cluster Deployment, which includes a Performance Overview. For Figure 12-8, the Cluster is selected in the navigation tree, beneath the Identity and Access node. Figure 12-8 illustrates the Cluster Deployments and Performance Overview sections. This page includes a table for Token Issuance and Token Validations.
OAM Server Pages: Selecting an OAM Server target name from the navigation tree (or the open page), displays a Performance Overview for the target. At the top of the OAM Server page, a summary of Key Metrics for the server instances appears instead of the Cluster Deployment section. Figure 12-9 illustrates the OAM Server instance Key Metrics, which include Token Issuance and Token Validations per second. The Token Validation success rate is included.
Table 12-3 describes the elements of the Performance Overview for Clusters and OAM Server instances in Fusion Middleware Control. There are only a few differences.

The Component Performance command on both the Cluster and Server instance menus enables you to display Access Manager-specific metrics.
Cluster component-specific metrics are aggregated across the cluster, illustrated in Figure 12-10. Details follow in Table 12-4.

The Component Performance command on both the Cluster and Server instance menus enables you to display Security Token Service component-specific metrics.
Component-specific metrics are aggregated for the Cluster, as illustrated in Figure 12-10.
Figure 12-12 Aggregated STS Component Metrics for the Cluster
For each individual server instance, STS component-specific metrics are also available, as illustrated in Figure 12-10.

The Performance Summary command on the Cluster or Server menu displays metrics charts for the selected target.
On the Performance Summary page, a chart is displayed for each selected metric. An OAM Server Performance Summary page. Figure 12-15 shows the Performance Summary page with an open Metric Palette from which you can choose metrics to chart. Stacked charts allow you to easily compare multiple metrics for the same time frame, change the time frame to go back in time, or zoom in or out.
