Predefined MDX Queries

The N1 AA Analyzer comes with some predefined MDX queries allowing you to perform the most common analyses on your system landscape.


Note –

These queries are read-only, you can neither modify nor delete them. These queries are available in every server group.

Description 

Benefits 

CPU - Server group utilization 

Get a CPU utilization overview of your server group. Key utilization values are displayed and the load is qualified. The qualification itself is based on threshold values that are customizable in the N1 AA. See Basic Setup.


Note –

Find details of this query and especially the meaning of the customizable parameters in the Appendix A, MDX Queries.


Input/Usage

  • Specify the time frame

  • Select none, one or more servers

Quickly identify CPU bottlenecks or oversupply.  

MEM - Server group utilization 

Get a memory utilization overview of your server group. Key utilization values are displayed and the load is qualified. The qualification itself is based on threshold values, that are customizable. See Basic Setup.


Note –

Find details of this query and especially the meaning of the customizable parameters in the Appendix A, MDX Queries.


Input/Usage

  • Specify the time frame

  • Select none, one, or more servers

Quickly identify memory bottlenecks or oversupply.  

CPU - Application load distribution 

CPU consumptions of all components belonging to the specified application are displayed in relation to each other. Data basis are the normalized CPU seconds in the specified time frame.  

Input/Usage

  • Specify the time frame

  • Select one application

Find the main CPU consuming components of an application. 

MEM - Application load distribution 

Memory consumptions of all components belonging to the specified application are displayed in relation to each other.  

Input/Usage

  • Specify the timeframe

  • Select one application

Find the main memory consuming components of an application. 

CPU - Server load 

Display the used CPU seconds of every component along the specified timeline.  

Input/Usage

  • Specify the time frame

  • Select one server

Find the CPU capacity situation on the server. 

MEM - Server load 

Display the used memory of every component along the specified timeline.  

Input/Usage

  • Specify the timeframe

  • Select one server

Find the memory capacity situation on the server. 

CPU - Server load composition 

CPU consumptions of all components running on the specified host are displayed in relation to each other. Data basis are the CPU seconds in the specified time frame. 

Input/Usage

  • Specify the timeframe

  • Select one server

Find the main CPU consuming components running on the server. 

MEM - Server load composition 

Average memory consumption, in bytes, of all components running on the specified host are displayed. The None.Free value represents the free physical memory capacity and can be negative.

Input/Usage

  • Specify the time frame

  • Select one server

Find the main memory consuming components running on the server. 

CPU - Server load simulation 

What-If Analysis: Simulates the consolidation of application components on a target server. 

The output graphic displays the resulting CPU utilization on that server. The available server capacity is displayed as a horizontal line. All are based on the normalized CPU consumptions. 

Input/Usage

  • Specify the time frame

  • Select one target server

  • Select one or more application components

Reduce Risk: Simulate capacity situation before application consolidation. 

MEM - Server load simulation 

What-If Analysis: Simulates the consolidation of application components on a target server. 

The output graphic displays the resulting memory utilization on that server. The available server capacity is displayed as a horizontal line. All are based on the measured memory consumptions. 

Input/Usage

  • Specify the time frame

  • Select one target server

  • Select one or more application components

Reduce Risk: Simulate capacity situation before application consolidation. 

CPU - Server load simulation (incl. base load) 

Same as CPU – Server load simulation. The difference being that all component loads of application Noneexcept the None.Free value are left on the selected target server as some kind of base CPU consumption.

Input/Usage

  • Specify the time frame

  • Select one target server

  • Select one or more application components

Reduce Risk: Simulate capacity situation before application consolidation. 

MEM - Server load simulation (incl. base load) 

Same as MEM – Server load simulation. The difference being that all component loads of application None except the None.Free value are left on the selected target host as some kind of base memory consumption.

Input/Usage

  • Specify the time frame

  • Select one target server

  • Select one or more application components

Reduce Risk: Simulate capacity situation before application consolidation.
