User manual FUJITSU SIEMENS OPENSM2 9.0 VMWARE ESX SERVER DATASHEET

[. . . ] openSM2 (VMware ESX Server) provides a comprehensive online monitoring with configurable alarm management, detailed bottleneck analyses as well as forecasts of future performance requirements and so gives the customer the capability to optimize the performance of his VMware ESX Server systems. openSM2 (VMware ESX Server) consists of the components INSPECTOR for online monitoring, and ANALYZER for offline analysis of monitoring files. Each component consists of a manager with a comfortable graphical user interface on a Windows PC and agents which collect performance data of the systems to be monitored resp. The managers can work together with the agents of all members of the openSM2 product line. [. . . ] The status display is constantly updated and enables exceptional situations to be detected instantly and an appropriate response to be made. A number of different types of reports with a graphical or tabular layout are available for presenting the performance data. Snapshot reports show the current system status in graphic or numeric form. Time-series reports enable the user to read off the chronological development of the measured values over the last hours. There are global reports, which provide an overview of multiple systems in a chart or a table, and reports which show selected performance data of an individual system. The user can specify the measurement variables and monitored objects whose measured values are to be presented in a report, and can also define new measurement variables by linking variables by means of formulas. The user can customize the charts in the reports by selecting different chart types (bar, line, line logarithmized, etc. ) and colors. The charts can be printed by mouse click, saved as a graphics file or copied to the Clipboard for transfer to mainstream programs (Word, PowerPoint, etc. ). A header and footer can be inserted for printout and the labeling of the charts modified. The monitored data provided by the systems can be supervised by means of user-defined rules. In a rule conditions and actions are defined. If all conditions of a rule are fulfilled an alarm for the rule is set off. The system entry in the system list takes the color of the alarm level assigned to the rule and the actions defined for the rule are executed. The following actions can be triggered: A report with the measurement variable in question is opened automatically for each condition of the rule. A procedure is started on any desired monitored server. A rule can be used to link not only conditions for the measurement variables of one system, but also conditions for different systems. In the rules the user can define different limit values and actions for different times of day in order to take account of different system usage types ­ for instance, online mode during the day and batch mode during the night. ANALYZER With ANALYZER, multiple monitoring files ­ from the same or different systems ­ can be analyzed simultaneously in a single analysis run. The user specifies the type and scope of the analysis via the user-friendly graphical interface of the manager.
