The Performance Monitoring home page

The Performance Monitoring home page contains charts and graphs that represent the data that is collected from the server.

The home page is divided into the following sections:
  • The Current Resource Utilization graphs appear at the upper section of the Performance Monitoring home page. These graphs indicate current processor usage and memory assignment as a portion of available capacity. The Virtual I/O network traffic and storage bandwidth graphs indicate their current usage against their historical maximum bandwidth consumption that was recorded on that HMC after the performance monitoring function was enabled. You can change the chart auto-update interval. To view a larger version of a graph, click the icon that resembles a magnifying glass with a plus sign. To view help information for a graph, click the question mark icon.
  • The Views topic pane appears on the right side of the home page and includes a list of server resources for which you can view performance data. The views include Server Overview, Processor Utilization Trend, Memory Utilization Trend, Network Utilization Trend, Storage Utilization Trend, and SR-IOV Port Counters.
  • The details section occupies the remaining space on the Performance Monitoring home page. The details section displays the graphs and charts that are associated with the view that you selected from the Views topic pane.
