5 Introduction to XPSketch
This section gives an overview of XPSketch.
Overview
XPSketch is a tool provided by HP to enable you to view the performance metrics of different
components of an XP array in a graphical format. The performance metrics obtained on monitoring
the selected XP array’s Ports, LDEVs, RAID, CPU, and DKC Groups for a specified duration are stored
in a comma separated file.
The .csv file generated using XPWatch can be opened in XPSketch to view a graphical representation
of the data.
You must load the .csv file in XPSketch, which transforms the metrics into various data points on the
graph. You can also select multiple metrics and view the values plotted on the graph. Using these
graphical representations, you can analyze the performance trend, identify bottlenecks or problems,
and take the necessary corrective actions.
