Running Performance Management in different system configurations

Operation in a cluster configuration

Runs Performance Management with the monitoring manager, monitoring console server, and monitoring agents configured in a cluster system. Availability of a business system can be enhanced by running it with a cluster configuration.

Overview of cluster systems in the JP1/Performance Management User's Guide

Multiple monitoring

Uses two monitoring managers. If the primary manager fails, the secondary manager is switched in to continue monitoring operations.

This eliminates downtime in the monitoring operation, thereby improving availability.

Remote monitoring

Collects performance data from a remote server that is not a monitoring target server.

Operation monitoring can be started without having to stop the system because there is no need to install an agent on the monitoring target server.

Checking Performance Management for problems

Health check and status management

A health check determines whether any of the monitoring agents' services and monitoring agent hosts are stopped.

Status management obtains the detailed status of the services running in the Performance Management system.

These functions enable the user to detect problems in the Performance Management system itself and to achieve stable operation monitoring on a continuous basis.
