5.3.6 Setting the display information for a report (refresh interval and display period)

The settings for a report here might differ depending on whether the report type is realtime or historical.

Organization of this subsection
(1) Setting the display information for a realtime report
(2) Setting the display information for a historical report

(1) Setting the display information for a realtime report

To set the display information for a realtime report:

  1. Set the display information.
    For example, when defining a realtime report of the top ten processes whose CPU usage ratio is high in PFM - Agent for Platform (Windows), you could use the following conditions to set the display information for a realtime report of Process Detail (PD) records:
    Conditions:
    • The values of data displayed in the report are Delta values.
    • The automatic refresh interval of the report display is initially set to 60 seconds and has a minimum of 30 seconds.
    • Display the top ten data using the CPU % (PCT_PROCESSOR_TIME) field as the display criteria.
    Set as follows:
    Specify when displayed: Select
    Indicate delta value: Select
    Refresh interval
    Do not refresh automatically: Do not select
    Initial value: 60
    Minimum value: 30
    Display by ranking
    Field: CPU%
    Display number: 10
    In descending order: Do not select
    The following figure shows an example of entering information in the New Report > Indication Settings (Realtime) window.

(2) Setting the display information for a historical report

You can set the display information for a historical report.

Note: Performance information displayed in historical reports
  • If you change the time of the host where PFM - Agent or PFM - RM is operating from the current time to the future time, the performance information from before the change to after the change is not displayed.
  • If you change the time of the server where PFM - Agent or PFM - RM is operating from the current time to the past time, the overwritten performance information from after the change to before the change is displayed.

To set the display information for historical reports:

  1. Set the display information.
    For example, when defining a historical report that summarizes CPU usages for each minute for the most recent one hour period in PFM - Agent for Platform (Windows), you could use the following conditions to set the display information for a historical report of System Overview (PI) records.
    Condition
    • The collection period of performance data is specified when displaying the report.
    • The display interval of the report is set to one hour.
    • Only the data whose User CPU % (PCT_TOTAL_USER_TIME) field indicates the maximum value of the day is displayed.
    • The maximum number of records displayable in the report is set to 1,440.
    Set as follows:
    Specify when displayed: optional
    Settings for the report display period
    Date range: specify when displayed
    Report interval: Hour
    Peak time
    Field: User CPU%
    Maximum number of records: 1440
    The following figure shows an example of entering information in the New Report > Indication Settings (Historical) window.
