Setting up basic monitoring tasks

You can monitor your systems for performance issues by checking the systems daily, by establishing weekly and monthly performance trends, and by specifying thresholds for receipt of notifications about potential performance issues.

  • Performing daily monitoring
    You can perform daily monitoring to ensure that you do not have any immediate performance issues that require attention.
  • Using weekly and monthly performance trends to identify performance issues
    Identifying performance trends can assist you in identifying whether the cluster is being overused or underused by analyzing volume latency. You can use similar steps to identify CPU, network, or other system bottlenecks.
  • Using performance thresholds to generate event notifications
    Events are notifications that the Unified Manager for DM Series generates automatically when a predefined condition occurs, or when a performance counter value crosses a threshold. Events help you identify performance issues in the clusters you are monitoring. You can configure alerts to send email notification automatically when events of certain severity types occur.
