tail -f SPECTRUM_home /export.output/exp_def_desc_1.log
where exp_def_desc_1 is the name of the Export Definition Description that you created in this action.
Note: Tail the .log file not the .sde file.
When SPECTRUM displays a message in the UNIX window that indicates the export of the models data and statistics
data is complete, press CTRL-C in the UNIX window to interrupt the tail command.
j. Close SDE.
Follow this path:
File -> Close -> OK
If you want to know more about creating and saving an Export Definition Description than was described above, refer to the
SPECTRUM Data Export User’s Guide.
There is also an example of processing SPECTRUM data in the IT Service Vision Showroom
.
To set up MeasureWare to monitor your systems, issue this command on each system:
mwa start
(The MeasureWare command is located in the bin subdirectory of the directory MeasureWare is installed in.)
This will start the MeasureWare SCOPE/UX and other appropriate demons to begin monitoring your system. (This command
should probably be part of your system initialization script. See the MeasureWare User’s Manual and Installation Manual for
details on installing and starting MeasureWare.)
Run the MeasureWare extract utility (from the MeasureWare bin directory) to "export" the metrics to a file. You tell the extract
command which metrics you want to export in an extract "report file." An example of this file usually appears in file data/reptall
in the directory in which MeasureWare is installed.
although the extraction and processing (by a CSPROCES macro) of the data can theoretically occur at any interval, we
recommend daily processing of the data.
For more information on using the extract command, see the man page for extract.
Note that IT Service Vision requires the following additions/updates to the default list of metrics in the example report file.
Include DATE and TIME for every data type.
DATE and TIME are generated automatically in the MeasureWare data record header, but the header
value is accurate only to a second. By requesting DATE and TIME explicitly, your DATETIME values in
your PDB detail data sets will be more accurate (to hundredths of a second).
Do not request HISTOGRAM-type metrics.
Histogram data is more useful for online quick inquiries into the MeasureWare data rather than for long
term, historical analysis with IT Service Vision software. Also, histogram data can produce errors in the
extract utility.
