JP1 Version 12 for UNIX Systems JP1/Performance Management - Agent Option for Platform Description, User's Guide and Reference


Format of record explanations

This chapter describes PFM - Agent for Platform records in alphabetical order. The explanation of each record consists of the following items:

Organization of this page

Function

Provides an overview and notes on the performance data stored in each record.

Default values and values that can be specified

The default values of the performance data collection conditions that are set in each record and the values that the user can specify in place of the default values are shown in a table. The table below explains the meaning of the items described in Default values and values that can be specified. For details about the items shown in this table, see the chapter explaining management of operation monitoring data in the JP1/Performance Management User's Guide.

Table 9‒1: Default values and changeable values

Item

Meaning

Modifiable

Collection Interval

Performance data collection interval (seconds).

Yes: Can be modified

No: Cannot be modified

Collection Offset#1

Offset value for starting the collection of performance data (seconds). For details about the offset value, see the chapter explaining management of operation monitoring data in the JP1/Performance Management User's Guide.

For details about the start time of performance data collection, see the chapter explaining the functions of Performance Management in the JP1/Performance Management Planning and Configuration Guide.

Log

Indicates whether to register the collected performance data in the Store database:

Yes: Recorded. However, the data is not recorded if Collection Interval=0.

No: Not recorded.

LOGIF

Condition for determining whether to register the collected performance data in the Store database.

Over 10 Sec Collection Time#2

Indicates whether collecting records takes 10 seconds or more, depending on the system configuration.

Yes: It sometimes takes 10 seconds or more.

No: It takes less than 10 seconds.

Sync Collection With#3

Indicates whether to collect performance data synchronously with the record displayed in the Description record property. For details, see the chapter explaining management of operation monitoring data in the JP1/Performance Management User's Guide.

Realtime Report Data Collection Mode#2

Specifies the real-time report display mode.

Reschedule: Reschedule mode

Temporary Log: Temporary log mode

Note that you must specify the temporary log mode (Temporary Log) for records for which Over 10 Sec Collection Time is set to Yes.

#1

A value between 0 and 32,767 seconds can be specified (a value within the range specified for Collection Interval). Use this item to distribute the collection load, because executing data collection all at once results in concentration of the processing load. Note that the data collection duration to be recorded is the same as the Collection Interval, regardless of the value specified for Collection Offset.

When changing the value of Collection Offset, specify a value after taking the collection load into consideration.

#2

This item is displayed when the history collection priority function is enabled.

#3

If Sync Collection With is displayed, neither Collection Interval nor Collection Offset is displayed.

ODBC key fields

Indicates the primary key required for PFM - Manager or PFM - Base to use the record data stored in the Store database. Some ODBC key fields are common to all records while others are unique to some records. Only those ODBC key fields that are unique to each record are shown for each record. Only multi-instance records have unique ODBC key fields.

For details about the ODBC key fields common to all records, see List of ODBC key fields.

Lifetime

Indicates the duration over which the consistency of the performance data collected into each record is guaranteed. For details about lifetime, see the chapter explaining the functions of Performance Management in the JP1/Performance Management Planning and Configuration Guide.

Record size

Indicates the size of performance data that is stored in each record in a single collection operation.

Fields

The fields in each record are explained in a table. The individual items in a table are explained below.
