Viewing performance graphs for components
HP XP P9000 Performance Advisor logs a new record in the Alarms History table when either of
the following conditions are met:
• The performance of a component rises beyond the set threshold limit.
• The performance of a component drops below the set threshold limit.
The current value of the component is displayed under Value in the Alarms History table. Click the
corresponding link to view the performance value when the component crossed the threshold level
or dropped below the threshold level. For a component that has crossed the threshold limit, the
performance graph includes the following:
• Performance value when the component crossed or dropped below the threshold level.
• Includes data collected 1 hour prior to the component crossing or dropping below the threshold
level.
• Continues to show data collected upto 1 hour after the component crossed or dropped below
the threshold level (if performance data is available).
For a component that has dropped below the threshold limit, the performance graph includes the
following:
• Performance value when the component dropped below the threshold level.
• Includes data collected 1 hour prior to the component dropping below the threshold level.
• Continues to show data collected up to 1 hour after the component dropped below the threshold
level (if performance data is available).
The data available displays the progress trend of the component. The performance value displayed
under Value is in sync with the time displayed under Time Updated. It implies that HP XP P9000
Performance Advisor retrieves the performance value for the time displayed under Time Updated.
The performance value is updated till the time the component's performance rises or drops below
the set threshold level. Once the performance value rises or drops below the threshold, a new
record is posted in the Alarms History table and a new graph is generated as, and when HP XP
P9000 Performance Advisor retrieves the latest performance value.
