Managing Baselines and KeyPerformance IndicatorsIn order to facilitate the detection of abnormalities on your monitored environment, BMCProactiveNet calculates baselines per parameter (metrics or attributes) based on values collectedover a specified period of time to determine a normal operating range. When the collected values forthese parameters are out of range, an alert is triggered.

Some parameters are identified by default as Key Performance Indicators and therefore automaticallyincluded in the base lining calculation.

Managing baselines

The baseline is the expected normal operating range for a metric or attribute of a monitor.

The baseline is calculated by collecting the values for a monitor’s attributes and metrics over aspecified time period and establishing a low baseline value (consisting of the 10th percentile of all thevalues for a given time period) and a high baseline value (consisting of the 90th percentile of all thevalues for a given time period), taking a weighted average of these values over time. A higher weightis given to the latest data being factored into the baseline average. The accuracy of the baselineimproves over time.

Requirements for baseline generation

For baselines to be generated for an attribute, that abnormality threshold means that the thresholdexists and is not suppressed. Additionally, if the Key Performance Indicator (KPI) mode is active, only those attributes that have anactive abnormality threshold and are also KPI attributes will have baselines generated for them.

Absolute thresholds (with "outside baseline") or signature thresholds do not satisfy these requirements.

Managing Key Performance Indicators

The KPI attribute of a parameter can be activated or deactivated manually through the BMCProactiveNet Administration Console. In this PM, some parameters or attributes have beendesignated as important indicators of performance (KPIs). We do not recommend that these defaultsettings are modified.

However, advanced users may activate or deactivate KPIs from the BMC ProactiveNet AdministrationConsole.

36Managing Baselines and Key PerformanceIndicators

Version 1.0.00

BMC Performance Manager Express for HP 3PAR

To add or remove Key Performance Indicator (KPI) attributes for amonitor type

1. In the Administration Console, from the menu bar, choose Tools > KPI Administration.The KPI Administration dialog box is displayed.

2. From the Monitor Type list, choose the monitor type for which you want to add or remove KPIattributes. A list of attributes for the selected monitor type is displayed.

3. In the KPI column for the attributes that you want to add or remove as Key PerformanceIndicators:

select the KPI check box to add the corresponding attribute as a KPI

deselect the KPI check box to remove the corresponding attribute from the KPIs for thatmonitor type

For complete and detailed information on this procedure, please refer to the BMC ProactiveNet documentation availablefrom BMC Web site.

Parameters for which the system by default calculates baselines as well as parameters considered asKPIs are respectively identified by the following icons:

Reporting

Parameters for which values are cumulative are generally only representative when considered for aspecific period of time. Those values are therefore mostly unusable when displayed in the Status tabof the Portal, since they represent a static number of data collected since the last polling. The valueconsequently changes a lot depending on the exact polling period.

A rather more meaningful way to view cumulative-value parameters would be to create a report tovisualize these values on a hourly or daily basis in total (how many gigabytes have been transmittedeach day, for example).

1. Open the Reports tab

2. Select the HP 3PAR storage system for which you want to obtain received and transmitteddata values

3. Select 2 in the Number of Charts to Display option

4. Select for the Volume Transfer Bytes (GB) parameter for the first chart and Physical DiskTransfer Bytes (GB) for the second chart

6. Click Update

43Reporting

Version 1.0.00

BMC Performance Manager Express for HP 3PAR

Enabling the Debug Mode

By default, BMC Performance Manager Express for HP 3PAR sends only the most critical information,warning and error messages to the Application Collection Status parameter. Most often, thisinformation is accurate enough to ensure that BMC Performance Manager Express for HP 3PAR isfunctioning properly. If you encounter an issue and wish to report it to customer support, you will beasked to enable the Debug Mode and provide the debug output to the support team.

1. Open the Configure tab

2. Under Tasks, click Elements

3. Select the Element for which a debug output is required and click Edit.

4. Scroll down to Application Classes > click the Application class for which you want toenable the debug mode > click Edit.

5. Select Yes from the drop-down Debug Mode list. By default, BPM Express for HP 3PAR sendsits debug output to: %RSM_HOME%\RSM(xx)\server\rsm\log\sen*_debug.log".

6. Wait for 15 minutes and then disable the debug mode by selecting No.

7. Send the debug file to the support team.

Pay attention to the file size -the debug output of BPM Express for HP 3PAR could be very large if enabled for severaldays.

Disabling Volumes Monitoring

By default, the solution discovers and monitors all volumes in the HP 3PAR storage systems. Discovering and collecting volumes metrics are resource-intensive actions that can create extraworkload on the targeted system. To limit the number of instances created and therefore reduce thesystem resource consumption, administrators can disable the monitoring of all the volumes of asystem.
