coord_act_lifetime_avg - Coordinator activity lifetime average monitor element

Arithmetic mean of lifetime for coordinator activities at nesting level 0 associated with this service subclass, workload, or work class since the last reset. If the internally tracked average has overflowed, the value -2 is returned. For service subclasses, this monitor element returns -1 when COLLECT AGGREGATE ACTIVITY DATA for the service subclass is set to NONE. For work classes, this monitor elements returns -1 if no COLLECT AGGREGATE ACTIVITY DATA work action is specified for the work class. For workloads, this monitor element returns -1 when COLLECT AGGREGATE ACTIVITY DATA for the workload is set to NONE. Units are milliseconds.

For service classes, when you remap activities between service subclasses with a REMAP ACTIVITY action, only the the coord_act_lifetime_avg mean of the final service class where the activity completes is affected.

Usage

Use this statistic to determine the arithmetic mean of the lifetime for coordinator activities associated with a service subclass, workload, or work class that completed or aborted.

This statistic can also be used to determine whether or not the histogram template used for the activity lifetime histogram is appropriate. Compute the average activity lifetime from the activity lifetime histogram. Compare the computed average with this monitor element. If the computed average deviates from the true average reported by this monitor element, consider altering the histogram template for the activity lifetime histogram, using a set of bin values that are more appropriate for your data.
