6 Use the System Monitor
Display the System Monitor
The system monitor is a tool within HPDM that displays status and performance data for the
Neoview platform. The displayed status and performance data includes seven performance
metrics and four system status icons.
NOTE: The system monitor is visible for both connected and disconnected systems. The system
monitor uses TCP/IP UDP datagrams to communicate with a server component on the Neoview
platform. UDP communication allows the system monitor to display useful information even
without an active ODBC connection to the system.
To display the system monitor:
1. In the navigation tree pane, select the system that you want to monitor.
2. Select the Monitoring area. For more information about areas, see “Select an Area” (page 25) .
3. In the right pane, click the Monitoring tab.

The system monitor shows performance metrics and system status icons. You can display the
performance metrics as a bar graph, a timeline, or a combination of both. In the bar graph (Bar
Graph
tab), each metric occupies a separate row with a footer. The footer shows the name of the
metric. Each bar represents a processing node (CPU), and each column represents a segment.
This figure shows a bar graph consisting of two segments (32 CPUs).
