5.3.6 Setting the display information for a report (refresh interval and display period)

(1) Setting the display information for a realtime report

1. Set the display information.

   For example, when defining a realtime report of the top ten processes whose CPU usage ratio is high in PFM - Agent for Platform (Windows), you could use the following conditions to set the display information for a realtime report of Process Detail (PD) records:

   Conditions:

   • The values of data displayed in the report are Delta values.

   • The automatic refresh interval of the report display is initially set to 60 seconds and has a minimum of 30 seconds.

   • Display the top ten data using the CPU % (PCT_PROCESSOR_TIME) field as the display criteria.

   Set as follows:

   Specify when displayed: Select

   Indicate delta value: Select

   Refresh interval

   Do not refresh automatically: Do not select

   Initial value: 60

   Minimum value: 30

   Display by ranking

   Field: CPU%

   Display number: 10

   In descending order: Do not select

2. Click the Next > button.

• If you change the time of the server where PFM - Agent or PFM - RM is operating from the current time to the past time, the overwritten performance information from after the change to before the change is displayed.

1. Set the display information.

   For example, when defining a historical report that summarizes CPU usages for each minute for the most recent one hour period in PFM - Agent for Platform (Windows), you could use the following conditions to set the display information for a historical report of System Overview (PI) records.

   Condition

   • The collection period of performance data is specified when displaying the report.

   • The display interval of the report is set to one hour.

   • Only the data whose User CPU % (PCT_TOTAL_USER_TIME) field indicates the maximum value of the day is displayed.

   • The maximum number of records displayable in the report is set to 1,440.

   Set as follows:

   Specify when displayed: optional

   Settings for the report display period

   Date range: specify when displayed

   Report interval: Hour

   Peak time

   Field: User CPU%

   Maximum number of records: 1440
