HP Insight Control - Manual (Page 21)

•
Samples for Status - Displays the number of samples averaged to determine system performance
status
•
Alert - Indicates if alerts are to be sent when certain server performance status conditions occur
•
Log - Indicates if the performance data is currently being logged for the selected server
•
Set Threshold - Provides a link for modifying the performance threshold values for the selected
server
NOTE: The Set Threshold link is available only on the Online Analysis page.
Server Configuration pane
The Server Tree pane appears on the left side of the browser window. This pane is used to navigate
between system components.
Component performance and status information appear in a hierarchical tree with nodes for each
level of the component. This frame provides a view of the server, processors, memory, network
connections, storage, host bus components, virtual machine guest, and virtual machine host
components.
Results pane
The Results pane displays the status, inventory, and graphical representation for the selected server
and its components. Use the tabs in the Results pane to switch between these views.
The Results pane includes three different tabs to access the different representations of the information
available for the server and its components. The tabs provide the following general information:
•
Status - Lists the performance counters (metrics) associated with the selected component. The
table provides the average, maximum, minimum, and last (current) values for all the counters.
A status icon indicates the performance of the component. An increasing level of severity is
indicated as the status changes from normal to major. The Status tab includes:
◦ Analysis Explanation - Explains why a bottleneck exists
◦ Recommendation - Provides possible actions to relieve the bottleneck
◦ Configuration Issues - Provides details of any hardware or agent configuration issues that
are detected
•
Graph - Displays a graphical representation of the performance metrics associated with the
selected component. The graph is dynamic, changes as the values change, and shows the
number of samples as set on the Monitoring Administration page.
•
Inventory - Displays information (either the hardware or the configuration details) of the selected
component configuration, such as the processor or the NIC configuration.
Graphical display
The graphical display or view provides a graphical representation of the performance metrics of
the monitored server.
The following sections further demonstrate the graphical display and the full depth of analysis.
Expanding the local storage
To expand the tree structure for the storage component, click the + icon next to Storage in the
configuration tree, and then select the storage node.
The graphical representation is as displayed in the following figure.
