What use is it

• Captures system performance data• Caters for over 1,000 sources of data• Mainstay are the system metrics• Summarises• Reports

4 Steps to Enlightenment

• Collecting • Extracting• Processing• Reporting

Collecting

• Need to decide your source of data– We use HP Measureware

• What CPU’s are you going to capture data on– 2 machines, must have access to transfer the

data from 1 machine to the other.– Where are you to store your PDB (Data

Warehouse)

Extracting/Processing

• HP Measureware data needs to be extracted from the Online DB to file for ITRM to process

• Data captured by ITRM each day, • Stored / Summarised into

– Detail (45 Days)– Day (45 days)– Week ( 15 weeks) – Months (18 Months)– Year (5 years)

What does ITRM store ?

• Default – Process Metrics (PCSPRO)– Application Metrics (PCSAPP)– Disk Metrics (PCSDSK)– Global Metrics (PCSGLB)– Unix Availability

What does ITRM store ?

• Optional– Filesystem– CPU– Network traffic– Transaction Times

Reporting

• Will run out of the box• Lots of pre-defined reports (most not run by

default)• Can customise, or define new reports
