request_exec_time_avg - Request execution time average monitor element

Arithmetic mean of the execution times for requests associated with this service subclass since the last reset. If the internally tracked average has overflowed, the value -2 is returned. This monitor element returns -1 when COLLECT AGGREGATE REQUEST DATA for the service subclass is set to NONE. Units are milliseconds.

When you remap activities between service subclasses with a REMAP ACTIVITY action, the request_exec_time_avg mean counts the partial request in each subclass involved in remapping.

Usage

Use this statistic to quickly understand the average amount of time that is spent processing each request on a database partition in this service subclass.

This average can also be used to determine whether or not the histogram template used for the request execution time histogram is appropriate. Compute the average request execution time from the request execution time 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 request execution time histogram, using a set of bin values that are more appropriate for your data.
