Request Metrics Recipe

1. In addition to the General Traditional WAS Performance Problem recipe, enable WAS Request Metrics to standard logs. This will have a significant performance overhead.
2. WebSphere Administrative Console > Monitoring and Tuning > Request Metrics
3. Ensure "Prepare Servers for Request metrics collection" is checked (by default, it is).
4. Under "Components to be instrumented," select "All"
5. Under "Trace level," select "Performance_Debug"
6. Under "Request Metrics Destination," check "Standard Logs"
7. Click "OK," save and synchronize. If "Prepare Servers for Request metrics collection" was already checked (the default), then the application server does not need to be restarted.
