IBM Performance Management

Reports

Historical reports are available in Performance Management console for data collected by the Response Time Monitoring Agent, the WebSphere® Applications agent, and the Synthetic Playback agent.

The first time that you run a report, you must log in to Tivoli® Common Reporting as a user who has permission to run Performance Management reports. IBM Cognos Viewer is the default report output viewer.
