Features
• Quick Setup: Quickly set up and start monitoring HP P6000 EVA storage systems and their
performance objects.
• Key Metrics: View statistical performance data of storage systems and objects for the most useful
counters. Key Metrics charts show live data samples or historical performance data for the duration
selected.
• Threshold monitoring and notifications: Set threshold levels (Minor and Major) for counters and
monitor performance against threshold levels. Receive notification when set threshold levels are
crossed. You can also view threshold levels in charts for a performance object.
• Dashboard: View storage systems and quickly scan for and identify performance issues. Drill
down to further analyze performance at controller and host port levels. Also quickly view
performance data for user-defined key performance indicators.
• Charts: View historical data or live performance data samples for a predefined interval or custom
duration. Add multiple counters to the same chart and view performance of the object for those
counters.
• Reports: Generate point-in-time performance reports in PDF and CSV formats for specific
performance objects. You can specify durations, such as a day or month and save reports for
future reference.
• Database: View a summary of the database, export the performance data, and maintain the
database space by purging older data.
