Generating Performance Reporting Manager Reports

A wide range of reports can be generated by specifying different numbers of agents, numbers of data properties, and report durations such as 4 hours to 1 month.

Typical reports take a few seconds to several minutes to generate. The actual time required is affected by the following factors:

• The number of actual data points included in the report

  ---

  Note –

  Reports are limited to a maximum of 10,000 data points per report.

  ---

• Amount of performance reporting manager data in the database

• Server performance and activity

• Concurrent generation of other performance reporting manager reports

For example, on a medium Sun Management Center server configured with the performance reporting manager add-on, a relatively simple report that includes 5 properties for 1 agent over the last 24 hours can be generated in about 20 seconds. Conversely, a more substantial report that includes 5 properties for 5 agents over the last 7 days can take around 10 minutes to generate.

A medium Sun Management Center server with the performance reporting manager add-on is assumed to be a SunFire-280R with two 450 MHz UltraSPARC II CPUs, 1 GB RAM, and 1 GB swap. It is also assumed that the SunFire-280R is monitoring 300 agents and collecting 300 data properties per agent for the performance reporting manager.
