Shows CPU, Process, and Disk performance metrics for a given interval, in sections:

  • Main graph on the top left shows % CPU Busy and Queue Length for each CPU. Click on any CPU to get more detail.  Click on Next or Previous Buttons on the right top or left of the graph to display metric values for the next or previous interval.
  • IPU Busy graph, for the selected CPU, shows IPU/Core busy for each IPU of the selected CPU. Click on any IPU to see a list of Processes running on that IPU.
  • Memory GB, for the selected CPU, using a pie chart shows % of Memory used and available.
  • Disk IO/Sec, for the selected CPU, shows Disks channeled running through that CPU, and % of Cached vs Physical IOs.
  • Processes, for the selected CPU, shows number of Processes, and % of static, vs. dynamic Processes. A Dynamic Process is one which runs for less than the interval period.
  • A grid below shows more detail on all Processes running on the selected CPU. They are:
    • Name: Process Name. Click on the name for a full history of that Process.
    • CPU/IPU: CPU (only if all CPUs are selected), and IPU where the Process was running. Click on IPU for a full list of Processes.
    • Busy%: % Process busy, at IPU level.
    • Mem(MB): Memory consumed by the process in MB.
    • Program: Object Program name of the Process. Click on Program name for a list of all Processes running that Program.
    • Priority: Priority of Process. Click on Priority value to see a list of all Processes running at that Priority.
    • S/T: Whether this Process was Static (S), or Dynamic (D).  .  A Dynamic Process is one which runs for less than the interval period.
    • Duration: In mm:ss, time which the Process was running.
    • Owner: Process Owner.

On the top toolbar, click on:

  • Search, to change different date/time, or CPU, or all CPUs.
  • Dig icon, to ask for detail & specific DPA analyses. A new window is displayed:
    • Top bar shows a 60-minute timeline where the current interval is selected (red bar). Assuming your collection interval is less than 60 minutes, you may click on either side of the bar to expand the timeline in either direction and inside the bar to shrink it. Maximum allowed is 60 minutes to keep the report generation time within a reasonable period.
    • Select one or more of the available DPA Charts & Reports.
    • Select any one or more email addresses to send the analyses to.
    • Click on the Submit button to initiate the Analyses, which will be emailed upon completion.
  • Scanner icon, icon to scan for Files and Processes.
  • Excel icon to export the screen content to an Excel file. Each section will be represented in a sheet of the newly generated workbook.
  • Help icon. Displays this document.
  • Duplicate icon, to duplicate the displayed Window. You may do this to enter different criteria, and view displayed information side by side on two separate windows.
