Performance Tools GUI:
The performance components in IBM Navigator for i include Performance Data Investigator (PDI), Performance Collection Manager and web-based GUI interfaces for Collection Services, Job Watcher, and Disk Watcher.
The power of Performance Data Investigator is in the tools provided to summarize data into reports, create graphs to show trends, and dig deep into performance data to analyze the details of your system.
Performance Data Investigator (PDI) displays performance metrics graphically over a selected interval of time. The detail views provide a visual representation of complex performance data with innumerable configurations. To analyze your system performance, you can view job data, subsystem data, pool data, disk unit data, and much more. Gain insight to how servers are performing by using these tools to analyze, model, obtain detailed reports and interact with graphical views of IBM i servers. Understand how business and system changes affect your process and performance.
