ASAP software provides a uniquely integrated, extensible infrastructure for monitoring
the availability and performance of system and application objects. Both availability and
performance information are integrated to form normalized availability vectors for
monitored domains and associated properties. Information integration includes
operational status, performance, and availability objectives for NonStop Kernel systems,
subsystems, and abstract application domains.
ASAP implementation consists of three functional layers:
ASAP User Interfaces
ASAP offers these user interfaces:
•
ASAP Client, a graphical user interface running on the Windows platform for
viewing ASAP availability information. Features include:
°
A graphical user interface with real-time, state-propagating, hierarchical views
°
3D, color-coded, availability-vector graphs with context-sensitive drill-down
reporting
°
State Change scoreboards and logs with context-sensitive historical drill-down
reporting
•
ASAP, a command interpreter running on the NonStop Kernel for starting or
shutting down the ASAP environment, configuring which domains (objects) to
monitor, and specifying their objectives (thresholds)
•
ASAPX, a command interpreter for the ASAP Extension running on the NonStop
Kernel
•
EMS tokenized Events
Layer Platform Description
ASAP
Client
Windows Provides visualization and in-depth analysis of object-state
information. Communicates with the ASAP Server and Extension.
ASAP
Server
NonStop
Kernel
Monitors, gathers, and analyzes availability, state, and performance
statistics throughout a network of NonStop Kernel clusters.
ASAP
Extension
NonStop
Kernel
Provides an Application Programmer Interface (API) into the ASAP
infrastructure so the availability and performance of abstract
application domains can be monitored. ASAPX is optional and must
be ordered separately.
