Metric Name Active Sockets Count
Metric Type Alarming, Graphing.
Description Number of socket connections opened.
WebLogic 6.0/6.1 or Both Both
Severity: Condition Minor: WLSSPI-0014.1, threshold 5
Collection Interval 15m
Message Text WLSSPI-0014.1: # of socket connections currently open (<$VALUE>) too high
(>=<$THRESHOLD>)
Instruction Text The number of open sockets has exceeded a threshold value.
Probable cause: The current number of open sockets is greater than the
expected number of open sockets for this WebLogic server.
Potential impact: If the number of open sockets is greater than the number of
socket reader threads allocated, incoming requests may be required to wait until
a socket reader thread is free.
Suggested action: Consider increasing the number of socket reader threads
from the Administration Server console, preferably equal to the potential
maximum number of opened sockets. Allocating execute threads to act as socket
reader threads increases the speed and the ability of the server to accept client
requests. However, it is essential to balance the number of execute threads that
are devoted to reading messages from a socket and those threads that perform
the actual execution of tasks in the server.
For information on tuning the execute thread pool, see the 'Performance and
Tuning' documentation for your WebLogic Server version available through
http://e-docs.bea.com/.
