IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3

Utilization Details for Single Resource report

This report shows resources utilization for a selected server: CPU utilization, disk utilization, memory utilization, network utilization. Each metric is shown on a separate chart where data for the server is overlaid. For disk utilization, only this average value for all logical disks is shown. For network utilization, total value for all network interfaces is shown.

The time frame for report data can be determined in the standard way by using the Duration and Include shift periods parameters.

The server can be selected from a list of available servers by using the OS Type and Servers parameters.

The forecasts can also be shown for the given period. If set, all the charts show data that ends at that date, and missing samples are determined based on linear trend computed over historical data.

The report also shows the top 10 CPU utilizing processes for the selected server.

Characteristic Description
Purpose Helps identify system performance problems related to over-utilization of key system resources. Helps identify which systems are performing poorly due to low physical memory, causing excessive paging, performing poorly due to CPU intensive tasks, or performing poorly due to other factors such as poor load balancing of applications across available systems.
Parameters
OS Type
Determines the type of agent to work on, and is selected from the drop-down list with the following items:
  • Linux
  • UNIX
  • Windows
Date Range
Determines the range of data shown on a report. Provide the value as two border dates (from or to) or selected from the drop-down list with the following options:
  • All
  • Date Range (below)
  • Today
  • Yesterday
  • Last 7 days
  • Last 30 days
  • Last 90 days
  • Last 355 days
  • Current week
  • Current month
  • Current Year to Date
  • Last week
  • Last month
  • Last Year
Summarization Type
Determined by Summarization and Pruning and is selected from the drop-down list with the following items:
  • Daily (Default)
  • Hourly
  • Weekly
  • Monthly
  • Quarterly
  • Yearly
Servers
The server or system names for the selected OS Type are displayed in a drop-down list sorted alphabetically. You can see up to 30 system names. For more than 30 names, type the name to see the filtered list.
Include shift periods
A drop-down list that you can use to select the shift periods to be included. The Peak/Off-Peak Hours period terms refer to definitions contained in Summarization and Pruning. The list contains the following options:
  • All Shifts (Default)
  • Peak Hours Only
  • Off - Peak Hours Only
Include vacation periods
A drop-down list that you can use to include or exclude vacation days. The Vacation period terms refer to definitions contained in Summarization and Pruning. The list contains the following options:
  • All Days (Default)
  • Work days
  • Vacation days
Forecast Period
If forecast is enabled, specifies the forecast period.
Forecast
Specifies whether forecast is enabled using a drop-down list. The list contains the following options:
  • Use forecast
  • Do not use the forecast
Show Data
Specifies if the chart data source should be displayed in a table or not.

Output Four line charts to show CPU, disk, memory and network usage for the selected system. Each chart has 3 lines representing average, maximum and minimum % processor time used by a server over a period along with SPC data like average, upper control limit and lower control limit. A table representing the top 10 CPU utilizing processes for the selected server.
Usage The IT administrator or manager responsible for meeting service levels based on server performance needs to receive periodic reports showing which servers are at risk of violating Service Level Agreements (SLAs) and at what times are they at most risk of violation. The same report can be used for hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, and yearly. The ability to compare all four metrics in one chart is useful.
