Affects: Documentation (Ref Guide, User Guide, etc.) Date of First Response: 2010-02-22 00:00:25 project_key: SOA This is something that we need to document as it may cause user confusion. The values displayed in the enterprise console UI for message count trend upward over time, irregardless of the data collection interval. For example, at 12:00 the user starts the JON server+agent, deploys an ESB archive and before 13:00 sends 1000 messages through the a service deployed in the ESB archive. If the user later specifies a data "Metric Collection Schedule" of from 14:00 to 15:00, this being a time period when no messages are being processed by the service, the message count metric displayed will still be 1000. The only way that the user can get the message counter to display a zero value is to reset the counter.

I have added this text to the initial draft of the 4.3.CP03 Release Notes: The JON plug-in's "Message Count" feature is incorrectly displaying a total number of messages for the ESB server, deployment, services and actions. It should actually be showing a rolling average.
Verified with 4.3.CP03 ER1, JON server+agent 2.1.0 and rhq-jbossesb-plugin-SOA.4.3.0.GA_CP03_ER1.jar
The issue here is not that we need this 'trending up' of data documented as an unresolved bug. Rather, the function is operating as expected, but in a non-intuitive way. We should (1) remove this JIRA from the list of resolved issues in the release notes document and (2) add its description to the JON Monitoring chapter in the Admin Guide.
Thanks for clarifying, Len. Removed from Release Notes. Added as "Information" note to section 6.4 of the Administration Guide.
