[. . . ] Besides to the graphical presentation of the monitored data INSPECTOR offers a rule-based monitoring of the data, which allows actions to be started automatically in alarm situations. The real-time monitoring enables serious problem situations and their causes to be quickly recognized. Background monitoring for later (offline) analysis The monitoring data is written to a monitoring file by the SM2 monitor. Different monitoring intervals can be selected for real-time monitoring and background monitoring. The monitoring file can be analyzed on the BS2000/OSD system using the SM2R1 utility program or on a Windows PC using the application ANALYZER. [. . . ] Depending on which parameters are specified, diagrams plotting the course of the performance metrics over time and statistical values such as mean, maximum and minimum, as well as standard deviation, are output. The scope of the performance data to be output can be controlled (suppression of non-critical values) using predefined or freely programmable thresholds. In addition, summation values for the most vital metrics can be output on a few pages. Computerized support for detection of potential bottlenecks in the system is provided by the builtin "automatic bottleneck analysis" function. SM2R1 also provides a compatible data interface to allow customerspecific analyses of SM2 performance data. INSPECTOR INSPECTOR enables simultaneous online monitoring of multiple BS2000/OSD systems using a Windows PC. Agents on the server systems record the performance data via the SM2 program interface and send it via TCP/IP connections to the central manager on the PC, where it is monitored and presented in graphical form. The monitored servers are displayed in the server list of the manager. The server list has a tree structure showing the association of the servers to system platforms and server groups. The color of a server entry indicates the status of the server. There are the possibilities "no data", "values in normal range" and "alarm". The status display is constantly updated and enables exceptional situations to be detected instantly and an appropriate response to be made. Several different types of reports are available for presenting the performance data in graphical or tabular form. Snapshot reports indicate the current system status graphically or in a form corresponding to the SM2 screenshots in BS2000. Time series reports reveal how the performance values have changed over the last hours. There are global reports providing an overview of multiple servers in one chart or table and reports showing selected performance data for a single server. The user can specify the measurement variables and the monitored objects whose performance data is to be included in a report, as well as defining new measurement variables by linking measurement variables by means of formulae. The charts in the reports can be customized by selecting various diagram types (bar, line, logarithmic line, etc. ) and colors. The charts can be printed with a single mouse click, saved to a graphics file or copied to the Clipboard for pasting into standard programs (Word, PowerPoint, etc. ). A header and footer line can be inserted for printout and the labels can be modified. The monitored data provided by the servers can be supervised by means of user-defined rules. [. . . ] Creation of charts Several monitoring files ­ from the same or different servers ­ can be analyzed simultaneously. The analysis result is provided as chart and table and can be stored in a file for further processing and also copied into standard programs like Excel and Word or to the Clipboard. Functions: Selection of the analysis period, with the option to define time windows and exclude certain periods (e. g. weekends) Selection of measurement variables via report group, report and measurement variable Linking of several measurement variables by means of formulas Selection of monitored objects (e. g.
