View sessions

You may need to look at sessions and session details to evaluate the performance of your cluster.

  1. Click Symphony Workload > Monitor Workload.

    The Applications page displays.

  2. Click the name of the application to which the session belongs.

    A list of sessions displays.

    Some of the properties for your session are displayed along the same line as your session.

Filter sessions according to date and time

Symphony provides two filters to help you find the sessions that are of most interest to you. These filters use session state and date /time criteria to narrow the search. Use the basic filter to find sessions that are currently in a specified state and were in an open or suspended state during a specified block of time. With the advanced filter, you can search for sessions based on session state that were created within a specified time interval and ended within another time interval.

  1. Click Symphony Workload > Monitor Workload.

    The Applications page displays.

  2. Click the name of the application to which the session belongs.

    A list of sessions displays.

  3. Click the Filter Settings link.
  4. Click in the Filter Options checkbox.

    Basic Filter:

    1. From the drop-down list, select the current session state that you would like to filter. (You can select multiple session states by pressing the Ctrl key as you select additional states.)

    2. Choose either a specified amount of time prior to now or an interval between two specified dates and times when the session state was either open or suspended.

    3. Enter the amount of time or date/time range, as applicable.

    4. Click Filter.

      A list of sessions displays that are in the current state(s) specified and were either open or suspended during the specified time interval.
