3.4 Displaying reports for capacity planning

The Monthly Trend report template folder contains reports that enable you to check totaled results of performance data for the past one month. Information displayed in these reports can help you with capacity planning for your business system.

Prerequisites

There are no prerequisites for displaying the reports in the Monthly Trend folder. You can display the reports without any advance preparations because data for the fields in the reports had already been set for collection when the configuration of the monitoring agents was completed.

Procedure

1. Verify that the Agents tab is selected in the Main window.

   If any other tab is selected, select the Agents tab.

   

2. Select a desired monitoring agent to display the Display Reports window.

3. Expand the Monthly Trend folder.

   For the PFM - Agent Option for Platform (for Windows) report template, expand the Monthly Trend folder under System Reports - Windows - Operating System.

4. Click the desired report template.

   The report window is displayed.

   Tip

   You can export information from the report to a CSV file by clicking the Export button in the report window. You can reference the exported performance data in an environment from which you cannot log in to Performance Management and use other tools to convert the performance data to an easy-to-analyze format. For details about the procedures, see Exporting reports in CSV or HTML format by using a Web browser in the JP1/Performance Management User's Guide.

Postrequisites

Use reports to obtain trends in the business system and as an aid in capacity planning.
