13.2.5 Recording performance data collected when linked with JP1/SLM

The performance data collected by Performance Management is stored by the Agent Collector service or Remote Monitor Collector service on a monitoring agent, and is recorded in the applicable Store database. When you link with JP1/SLM and start monitoring from JP1/SLM, the collected performance data will be sent to JP1/SLM.

In Performance Management, you can specify from the monitoring console or by command whether to record performance data in a Store database. In JP1/SLM, you can specify whether to record performance data by modifying a definition file.

The following table describes the relationship between data recording settings in JP1/SLM and Performance Management.

StoreDB: Stored in a Store database.

SLM: Sent to JP1/SLM for use in predictive detection and analysis.

--: Not stored in a Store database and not sent to JP1/SLM. As a result, no data is collected.

Note
  • Sending of performance data might fail if there is a communication error, for example, or if JP1/SLM has not started and cannot receive the data.

    When sending fails, routine data transfer from the applicable PFM - Agent and PFM - RM stops. The system retries every 30 seconds from the measured time at which sending failed until JP1/SLM can be reached.

    At retry, the sent performance data includes the original data plus any additional data collected since the transmission failure. However, data older than the time during which JP1/SLM can receive past data (60 seconds) is discarded.

    When sending succeeds on retry, routine transfer of performance data from the PFM - Agent and PFM - RM resumes.

  • The Collection Interval and Collection Offset settings in Performance Management override settings in JP1/SLM related to the recording of performance data.

  • If you edit a custom monitoring item to monitor a specific field only, the entire record containing that field will be stored in the Store database.

For details on settings for recording performance data, see 4.1.1 Modifying the recording options for performance data or the manual Job Management Partner 1/Service Level Management.
