Server and data range selector
The selector under the tab menu lets you define the data for analysis by choosing a server collection,
time interval, and date range.
If you change the date interval and and/or the range collection selector, the number of servers
displayed for each query might change, depending on the data collected for the new time range.
To use the selector to view analysis data:
1. Accept the data range given by default, or adjust the Metrics From: setting to include the time
period of interest for analysis.
To adjust the data range:
• Select Day or Week and then click the calendar icon or click anywhere within the
date field. When the calendar opens, click the day or week for which you want to view
data.
If you select Day, you can choose from the most recent 31 days, including the current
day. If you select Week, you can choose from the most recent 12 weeks. A week is
computed from Sunday – Saturday.
• Select Month and then select the month from the resulting drop-down list.
You can choose from the most recent 24 months (two years). A month is computed starting
the first day of the month.
2. Use the Systems in: drop-down list to restrict the query results to servers in the selected collection.
TIP: Customized collections can be defined and used by Capacity Analysis. Navigate to
System and Event Collections in the left-hand navigation area and select Customize.... For
information about defining custom collections, see the “Customizing system and cluster
collection” topic in the HP Systems Insight Manager Help.
