HP Insight Control - Manual (Page 7)

1 Introduction
Overview
HP Insight Control performance management detects, analyzes, and explains hardware configuration
issues and performance bottlenecks on HP ProLiant servers, virtual machines, and MSA shared
storage. Insight Control performance management provides the tools required to receive proactive
notification of building bottleneck conditions and to debug existing performance issues.
With Insight Control performance management, performance can be monitored on one or more
servers. The performance information is analyzed to determine if there is an impending or existing
performance bottleneck issue. This information can be interactively displayed using the Online
Analysis tool or logged to a database for later analysis or reporting using the Offline Analysis tool,
and proactive notification can be set up using the HP Systems Insight Manager notification
mechanism.
Insight Control performance management provides you with the following menu options that are
accessible from the Insight Control console:

The Online Analysis tool for Insight Control performance management is an intelligent, easy-to-use
tool accessed from clients running Internet Explorer 7.0 or later. The tool can monitor servers
running supported versions of Windows and Linux. The web-based application allows the
performance of any monitored server to be monitored and analyzed in real-time on a remote client
system. The Offline Analysis tool provides the option to analyze the data at a later stage by logging
it on to a database.
Various Performance Management reports, illustrating the percentage of time a system was in a
bottleneck state and the overall performance utilization for a system categorized by its components,
can be generated from the Insight Control performance management Reports option. A System
