You can use Interactive Reporting to centrally display the development of the most important monitoring data over time, to identify potential problems early, and to obtain an overview of the usage, availability, and performance of your Java systems, among other things.
The reports contain various periods, from the current day to the previous year, so you can see both the current, and the long-term development of the performance values. The values for each period are automatically displayed in the appropriate level of detail (see Using Interactive Reporting).
The available reports for Java systems are divided into the following four topic areas:
Availability
These reports contain information about the availability of the selected system and planned downtimes.
Performance
These reports contain information about the response times and other metrics of the selected system that characterize the performance of the system.
Capacity
These reports contain information about the usage of the available capacity of the selected system. These reports therefore give you information about the capacity that is still free, for example, in the usage of different memory, or of the available CPUs.
Usage
These reports contain information about the usage of the selected system. They therefore allow you to see the scope of the usage of systems.
The following reports are available to you for Java systems:
The specified reports largely share the following properties:
The reports each have an Overview
display and a Details
display, and you can switch between these displays by choosing the button of the same name. In the detail display, you have more options for displaying specific metrics in the report.
When you call a report, the development of the displayed metric is displayed for the relevant system, that is, you see a mean value for all instances of the system. However, in the overview display, you can also display only specific instances or nodes, by selecting them in the area Instances
or Nodes
and choosing the Filter
button. The detail display usually displays the 10 nodes of the selected system with the highest values for the displayed metric. You can also filter by hosts and instances here.
Interactive Reporting is part of the Technical Monitoring
work center in the Solution Manager.
