Tips for maximizing performance

You can maximize the performance of IBM OMEGAMON for Storage on z/OS and IBM Tivoli Monitoring using various means, such as filtering data collection, tuning products features, and modifying parameters for data collection.

To reduce the impact of monitoring activity:

• Collect data less frequently.
• Filter the data that you collect.

To improve the performance of IBM Tivoli Monitoring:

• Reduce steady-state demand, such as historical data collection, on system resources.
• Reduce on-demand or user-generated demand, such as user requests for data, on system resources.

To make the collection of short and long-term historical data more efficient:

• Distinguish between short and long-term historical data collection.
• Determine the types of historical data to collect and reconfigure interval parameters.
