Predefined Control Panel - Install and Play!

Provides you with the most important indicators of Windows and iSeries system activity right out of the box, including:

• CPU usage data: % used by job type
• Top 10 CPU abusive users
• Top 10 CPU abusive jobs
• Disk usage
• Response times
• Processes
• Jobs (per job type, user, subsystem and job queues, output queues)
• Extensive memory pools data
• Communication lines, and much more.
  

Exclusive Vital Data collection

Provides extensive Vital Data not commonly available in other products, including:

• CPU usage grouped by user (top 10)
• SLA checking (number of interactive response times per interaction time)
• Maximum, minimum and average response times
• Top three maximum and minimum response time jobs
  

iSeries specific metrics include:

• CPU usage per subsystem
• CPU and response times per pool
• Memory per job
• Memory per activity level
• IPL, security level, system capacity, PTF information, etc.

User defined data collection

Open architecture that allows for inclusion of end-user data both at the Windows or iSeries level (like Web hits, Windows disk usage), or select from an extensive list of available performance metrics (including IOP usage, disk arm occupation, network adapter usage, and more).

Multiple System Support

See several systems or partitions at once, using the predefined multisystem graphs or by opening several resizable Control Panels at once. Monitor CPU, memory usage and other vital signs of all your Windows and iSeries servers from a single chart. Set different thresholds and actions for each system if needed.

Flexible Alert Conditions

Check for simple or complex conditions, including calendar conditions, logical operations, regular expressions, and more, with no scripting or programming required. For advanced customization, use the embedded ALEV logical expression editor.

Execute commands

Automatically solve problems by executing commands at local or remote systems. Use variables like job name, user name, system name, etc. in these commands. Alter job attributes according to job behavior, avoid CFINT triggering, collect information of an abusive task, etc.

Get the message with Flexible Alert Management

Be notified by a sound, a pop up window, an email or SMS message, etc. configured according to your security policies and performance thresholds. Escalate alerts to the duty operator with guaranteed notification for urgent alarms.

Record now - Replay later

Capture system usage snapshots continuously or only when an alert is triggered, so you can analyze the problem later, or send the data to another person for advice.

Integration with iSeries Support Agent

Drill down to the end user jobs that are abusing resources - their actual screens, internal data, even the running source code is only a couple of clicks away.

Integration with VISUAL Control Center

Upgradeable to VISUAL Control Center, which provides total resource management by customizable policies. Automate memory tuning, distribute resources among partitions, avoid abusive jobs, and exploit your hardware at the fullest extent; achieving better performance, ensuring SLAs, and happier end users.
