Format of record explanations
The records for PFM - RM for Platform are described in this chapter in alphabetical order.
Each record explanation contains the following subsections:
- Organization of this page
Function
Provides an overview of the performance data that is stored in the record and includes important information that should be noted.
Default and changeable values
Consists of a table of the default values for the performance data collection conditions that are defined for the record, and indicates whether each value can be changed by the user.
The table below lists and describes the items that are presented in Default and changeable values. For details about each item described in this table, see the chapter that describes the management of operation monitoring data in the JP1/Performance Management User's Guide.
|
Item |
Description |
Changeable |
|---|---|---|
|
Collection Interval |
Performance data collection interval (in seconds) |
Y: Changeable N: Not changeable |
|
Collection Offset#1 |
Delay (offset value) for starting performance data collection (in seconds). For details about the offset value, see the chapter that describes the management of operation monitoring data in the JP1/Performance Management User's Guide. For details about the performance data collection start time, see the chapter that describes the functions of Performance Management in the JP1/Performance Management Planning and Configuration Guide. |

Log |
Whether collected performance data is stored in the Store database:
|
|
|
LOGIF |
Conditions for storing collected performance data in the Store database |
|
|
Over 10 Sec Collection Time#2 |
Whether record collection takes 10 seconds or longer
|
|
|
Realtime Report Data Collection Mode#2 |
Specifies the real-time report display mode. Reschedule: Reschedule mode Temporary Log: Temporary log mode Note that you must specify the temporary log mode (Temporary Log) for records for which Over 10 Sec Collection Time is set to Yes. |
|
|
Sync Collection With#3 |
Whether performance data is to be collected along with the record displayed in the Description record property. For details, see the chapter that describes management of operation monitoring data in the JP1/Performance Management User's Guide. |
- #1
-
The value must be in the range from 0 to 32,767 seconds (but within the collection interval specified in Collection Interval). This value is used to distribute the workload of collection processing so as to avoid concentration of the workload when multiple data items are collected. Note that the recording time for data collection is the same as for Collection Interval regardless of the Collection Offset value.
To change the Collection Offset value, specify an appropriate value taking into account the workload of collection processing.
- #2
-
This item is displayed when historical data collection takes priority over real-time report display processing. For details, see the chapter that describes troubleshooting in the JP1/Performance Management User's Guide.
- #3
-
When Sync Collection With is displayed, Collection Interval and Collection Offset are not displayed.
ODBC key field
Indicates the primary key required for PFM - Manager to use the record data stored in the Store database. Some ODBC key fields are common to all records, and some are specific to individual records. This section presents the ODBC key field that is specific to each record. Note that only multi-instance records have a specific ODBC key field.
Lifetime
Indicates the period during which consistency is guaranteed for the performance data that is collected in the record.
For details about the lifetime, see the chapter that describes the functions of Performance Management in the JP1/Performance Management Planning and Configuration Guide.
Record size
Indicates the amount of performance data that can be collected and stored in the record during a single collection operation.
Fields
Provides a table that describes the record's fields. The table contains the following columns:
PFM - View name (PFM - Manager name)
- PFM - View name
-
Indicates the field name (PFM - View name) that is displayed with PFM - Web Console.
- PFM - Manager name
-
Indicates the field name (PFM - Manager name) to be specified in SQL statements when statements are used from PFM - Manager to access the field data stored in the Store database.
Specify the record ID at the beginning of an SQL statement. For example, to specify the Polling Time (POLLING_TIME) field of the System Status (PD) record, specify PD_POLLING_TIME.
Description
Describes the performance data that is stored in each field.
The performance data in each field can be obtained in the following ways:
-
Obtaining an average or a rate from the current data and the data collected during the previous interval
-
Obtaining by using only the current data that has been collected
-
Obtaining from the data in other fields
The value obtained at the set data collection interval is used, unless indicated otherwise.
When records of the PI record type are summarized for a historical report with a value other than minute specified as the reporting interval, the following types of values can be displayed:
-
Average value over the summarized intervals
-
Last value collected
-
Total value
-
Minimum value
-
Maximum value
A displayed field value is the average value over the summarized intervals, unless indicated otherwise.
Summary rule
Indicates the summarization method used by Remote Monitor Store to summarize the data. This summarization method is referred to as the summary rules. For summarization rules, see Summarization rules.
Grouping rule
Indicates the method for consolidating performance information for remote agents that belong to the same instance. This summarization method is referred to as the grouping rules. For grouping rules, see Grouping rules.
Format
Indicates the data type of the field's value. For data types, see List of data types.
Delta
Indicates whether the value is a delta value. In contrast to data collected as a cumulative value, data expressed by the amount the value has changed is called a delta. For details about deltas, see Field values.
Unsupported
Indicates the OSs of the monitored host that do not support use of the field.
