Click on the Globe icon on the left panel, to see live Performance metrics on all your NonStop Servers in a summary format. Note that the title bar for each NonStop uses color to point out alert conditions. Color may be white: all is ok, yellow: warning alert, or red: Major alert.
Each panel can be collapsed or expanded. When expanded, you see graphs based on your selection. Each graph has its own panel. The heading of each panel is color coded (white, yellow, or red) to represent alert conditions currently in place for the information it represents. Bell icons (red/yellow) also show the number of alerts for each panel. Click on a bell icon to see details.
In addition to bell icon indicators, you can monitor the warning and critical threshold breaches using the ticker. The ticker can show Processes and/or CPUs that have breached warning or critical thresholds.
The ticker at every each interval
- If all is OK then check mark is shown next to the interval timestamp (hh:mm:ss)
- Otherwise If at least one Process or CPU (depending on the selection) has breached the threshold, then the interval time display is followed by one section per CPU.
- Each Section:
- Has a CPU # indicator which is in yellow or red background.
- Per CPU, Process name is displayed (PIN: nnnn if process name is unknown), followed with % busy value
- If above threshold, follow with up or down arrow is displayed, in color matching threshold.
Graphs
There are six graphs:
-
- CPU – Per CPU, shows % CPU Busy (Y1), and Queue Length (Y2) of the most recent interval. % Busy is shown with a 100% cap. Click on the S icon on the heading to toggle the scale setting. Click on any Y1 data point to see a list of top 5 busiest processes on the selected CPU, or on any Y2 data point to see a list of top 5 processes with the highest Receive Queue. On the new Window, click on any Process to see its trend over time. Also from the CPU graph, you may click on the trend icon (upper right) to either see a trend of % CPU Busy, or CPU Queue Length over time. On the new Trend Window, click on a CPU data point at a point in time to see either the list busiest Processes or Processes with the highest Receive queue at that time.
| Counter | Formula |
|---|---|
| % Busy | (CPU-BUSY-TIME CPU / DELTA-TIME CPU) * 100 |
| Queue Length | (CPU-QTIME CPU / DELTA-TIME CPU) |
-
- This graph has dual functionality. The IPU/CPU toggle button switches the graph from CPU to IPU view.
- IPU – Per CPU, shows a stacked bar of % IPU Busy of IPUs of that CPU (Y1), and Queue Lengths of IPUs of that CPU (Y2) of the most recent interval. % Busy is shown as a multiple of 100% since the IPUs are stacked. Click on the S icon on the heading to toggle the scale setting. Click on any Y1 data point to see a list of top 5 busiest processes on the selected CPU, or on any Y2 data point to see a list of top 5 processes with the highest Receive Queue. On the new Window, click on any Process to see its trend over time. Also from the IPU graph, you may click on the trend icon (upper right) to either see a trend of % CPU Busy, or CPU Queue Length over time. On the new Trend Window, click on a CPU data point at a point in time to see either the list busiest Processes or Processes with the highest Receive queue at that time.
- This graph has dual functionality. The IPU/CPU toggle button switches the graph from CPU to IPU view.
| Counter | Formula |
|---|---|
| % Busy | (IPU-BUSY-TIMEn CPU / DELTA-TIME CPU) * 100 |
| Queue Length | (IPU-QTIMEn CPU / DELTA-TIME CPU) |
-
- Process – Per CPU, shows the % CPU Busy of the busiest Process (Y1), and Receive Queue of the Process with the highest Receive Queue (Y2). % Busy is shown in scaled format. Click on the S icon on the heading to toggle the scale setting. Click on any data point to open a new Trend window for either metrics. You may also click on the trend icon to see the same options. On the new Trend Window, click on a CPU data point at a point in time to see either the list busiest Processes or Processes with the highest Receive queue at that time.
| Counter | Formula |
|---|---|
| % Busy | (CPU-BUSY-TIME PROCESS / DELTA-TIME PROCESS) * 100 |
| Receive Queue | (RECV-QTIME PROCESS / DELTA-TIME PROCESS) |
-
- Disk – Per interval, for the recent intervals, shows the % CPU Busy of the Disk with the highest DP2 Busy (Y1), as well as queue length of the Disk with the highest Queue length. % Busy is shown in scaled format. Click on the S icon on the heading to toggle the scale setting. Click on either data points to see a list of top Disks in each category. You may also click on the trend icon to see the same options. On the new Window, click on any Disk to see its trend over time.
| Counter | Formula |
|---|---|
| % DP2 Busy | (CPU-BUSY-TIME PROCESS / DELTA-TIME PROCESS) * 100 |
| Queue Length | (REQUEST-QTIME DISC / DELTA-TIME DISC) |
-
- TMF – Per interval, shows a stacked bar chart representing % of aborted transaction compared to total. Click on the a graph data point to see a list of top processes with the highest TMF activity. Click on the trend icon to see the trend of overall transaction activity (all processes – system wide). On the trend window, click on any data point to see a list of processes with the highest TMF activity at that point in time.
| Counter | Formula |
|---|---|
| % Abort | (ABORT-TRANS PROCESS / BEGIN-TRANS PROCESS) * 100 |
-
- Network – Per interval, shows the sent bytes per second of the network stack with the highest sent bytes per second (Y1), and received bytes per second of the network stack with the highest received bytes per second (Y2) of the most recent interval. Click on either data points to see a list of top network stacks in each category. You may also click on the trend icon to see the same options. On the new Window, click on any network stack to see its trend over time.
- CLIM – Per CLIM, shows the % CPU Busy (Y1) and % Memory Used (Y2) of the most recent interval. % Busy is shown in scaled format. Click on the S icon on the heading to toggle the scale setting. You may also click on the trend icon to see the same options.
Display Settings
The Performance Summary display can be customized by clicking the = icon.
It has 2 sections
