Installing and Administering Solaris Container Manager 3.6.1

Requesting a Report

Both CPU and memory resource utilization reports are available forhost, host group, container, container group, resource pool, zone, and active container. Before trying to view a report, be sure to set the browser's cache to refresh every time. For a list of the six types of reports available, see About Reports. Reports for CPU and memory resources used are available for the following intervals:

You must wait two hours after installation of the Performance Reporting Manager software for the daily graph reports to become available. Data first must be collected and stored in the database from which the report can be drawn. You can also view CPU and memory resource utilization reports for inactive containers and containers that are based on historical data.

Real time reports for CPU and memory resources being used are available for active projects only.

ProcedureTo Request a Resource Utilization Report For a Host

Use this procedure if you want to obtain a daily, weekly, or monthly report for a host.

Steps

  1. Set the browser's cache to refresh every time.

  2. In the Hosts view, select the host from the navigation window.

  3. Select the Utilization tab.

    The CPU usage and memory usage of the host for the last 24 hours are displayed.

    Note –

    (On Solaris 10) The CPU usage and the memory usage are displayed.

  4. Click the Graph Properties link.

  5. Choose whether to generate a report for the entire host or only for a resource object in the host.

    Note –

    The resource object for a host might be a resource pool or a project.

    (On Solaris 10) The resource object for a host might be a resource pool, zone, or a project.

    • To generate a report for the entire host, select the Total Utilization option.

      Select the appropriate time interval from the Time Interval list.

      Click the Update Graph button.

      The CPU and memory resource utilization graphs appear.

    • To generate a report for a resource object in the host, select the Cumulative Utilization by Object option.

      Select the appropriate resource object.

      Select the appropriate time interval from the Time Interval list.

      Click the Update Graph button.

      The CPU and memory resource utilization graphs appear for a maximum of 5 resource objects that have high utilization.

  6. (Optional) To export the last 24 hours of data to a CSV file, click the Export Data button.

    You must wait at least 2 hours after installation of the Performance Reporting Manager software for a CSV report to be available. Data must first be collected and stored in the database from which the report can be drawn. You cannot preview this data in a graph.

    Data exported contains the hourly data for the container for the last 24 hours. Therefore, it is not identical to the data obtained from a daily graph.

ProcedureTo Request a Resource Utilization Report for an Active Project

Use this procedure if you want to obtain a daily, weekly, monthly, or real time report for an active project.

Steps

  1. Set the browser's cache to refresh every time.

  2. In the Hosts view, select the host from the navigation window.

  3. Select the Projects tab in the right pane.

    A list of projects on this host appears.

  4. Select the active project for which you need a report.

  5. Select the Utilization tab.

    The CPU usage and memory usage of the active project for the last 24 hours are displayed.

  6. Click the Graph Properties link.

  7. Select the Total Utilization option.

  8. Select the appropriate time interval from the Time Interval list.

    You can also obtain a real time report for an active project.

  9. Click the Update Graph button.

    The CPU and memory resource utilization graphs appear.

  10. (Optional) To export the last 24 hours of data to a CSV file, click the Export Data button.

    You must wait at least 2 hours after installation of the Performance Reporting Manager software for a CSV report to be available. Data must first be collected and stored in the database from which the report can be drawn. You cannot preview this data in a graph.

    Data exported contains the hourly data for the container for the last 24 hours. Therefore, it is not identical to the data obtained from a daily graph.

ProcedureTo Request a Resource Utilization Report for a Container

Use this procedure to request CPU and memory utilization reports for a container. The data is based on historical data and is an average of the resources used by active containers that are based on the container.

Steps

  1. Set the browser's cache to refresh every time.

  2. In the Containers view, select the container.

  3. Select the Utilization tab.

    The CPU usage and memory usage of the container for the last 24 hours are displayed.

  4. Click the Graph Properties link.

  5. Choose whether to generate a report for the entire container or for a resource object in the container.

    Note –

    The resource object for a container is a host.

    • To generate a report for the entire container, select the Total Utilization option.

      Select the appropriate time interval from the Time Interval list.

      Click the Update Graph button.

      The CPU and memory resource utilization graphs appear.

    • To generate a report for a resource object in the container, select the Cumulative Utilization by Object option.

      Select the appropriate resource object.

      Select the appropriate time interval from the Time Interval list.

      Click the Update Graph button.

      The CPU and memory resource utilization graphs appear for a maximum of 5 resource objects that have high utilization.

ProcedureTo Request a Resource Utilization Report for a Resource Pool

Use this procedure if you want to obtain a daily, weekly, or monthly report for a resource pool.

Steps

  1. Set the browser's cache to refresh every time.

  2. In the Hosts view, select the host to which the resource pool is bound.

    A list of all resource pools bound to this host appears in the Resource Pools table in the right pane.

  3. Select the name of the resource pool in the table.

    A table listing all containers that are bound to this resource pool appears.

  4. Select the Utilization tab.

    The CPU usage and memory usage of the resource pool for the last 24 hours are displayed.

    Note –

    (On Solaris 10) The CPU usage and memory usage are displayed.

  5. Click the Graph Properties link.

  6. Choose whether to generate a report for the entire resource pool or for a resource object in the resource pool.
