Notes on records

This section provides notes about record collection.

Notes about preparing for collection of performance data

The following point should be noted before you collect performance data:

Changing registry

This note is applicable to Windows.

PFM - RM for Platform supports operation in an environment that is set up by the OS-provided standard method.

If you use special OS settings, such as by using a registry editor to directly edit registry information, performance data may not be collected correctly even if such customization is disclosed in the Microsoft technical support information.

Notes about identifying record instances

The following note is about identifying record instances.

When instances are not identified uniquely

This note is applicable to Windows.

PFM - RM for Platform collects performance data by referencing the most recent information at specific intervals. If PFM - RM for Platform cannot identify the record instance uniquely from the information acquired from the OS, it adds a number in the format #n (n: 1, 2, 3, ...) at the end of the following field:

Record name	Field name
Network Interface Overview (PI_NET)	Interface (INTERFACE)

Notes about changing the system resources for the monitored host

The following note concerns changing the system resources for the monitored host.

Performance data before and after system resources are changed

When you change system resources for the monitored host, continuity between the performance data collected before and after the change is lost. Therefore, the performance data before and after the change must be handled as different sets of performance data.

Notes about records

Data values in a record whose instance name is _Total

The total and average values of all instances are collected as data values in the record whose instance name is indicated as _Total among all multi-instance records. If the instance environment is changed during the collection interval, values may not match.

Value exceeding the data type defined in the data model

PFM - RM for Platform does not support a value that is outside the permissible range for the data type defined in the data model. If a value exceeding the data type defined in the data model is collected, the values that are displayed may not be accurate.

When records are not created

If PFM - RM for Platform cannot collect the performance data for the field that is defined as the ODBC key field, no record is created.

Fields for which performance data is not collected during the first collection

Non-PD records contain fields for which performance data is not collected during the first collection. For these fields, performance data is collected during the second and subsequent collections.
