Overview of the function |
Reference |
---|---|---|---|
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. |
Overview of multiple monitoring in the JP1/Performance Management User's Guide |
|
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. |
Select a suitable monitoring method in the JP1/Performance Management Planning and Configuration Guide |

Checking Performance Management for problems |
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. |
