HP Insight Control Performance Management 7.3 User Guide

A Measurement parameter matrix
This appendix details the measurement parameters evaluated by the performance management
component for the components of a system configuration.
Server metrics
The following information is provided for server metrics.
Server status
• Average Processor Utilization %—Percentage of time that processor is executing a non-idle
thread, averaged for the number of processors in the server.
• Available MBytes—Amount of memory not currently allocated to any process (unused). A low
Available MBytes value might indicate memory allocation bottlenecks.
• Page Faults/Sec—Number of faulted pages handled by the processor each second.
• Network MBytes/Sec—Sum of megabytes transferred (transmitted and received) over the
subsystem each second.
• Storage MBytes/Sec—Sum of megabytes transferred (read and written) over the storage
subsystem each second.
• Host Bus MBytes/Sec—Sum of megabytes transferred over the host buses each second.
