Enterprise System Monitor• data collection (IT Monitor)
– performance points for:• PI Server • UNIINT interfaces• operating system
– ping points
• data delivery e-mail– 5 minute reports– ~100k file size– XML report with log files– “PI to PI over email”– high resolution data
• data retrieval benchmark– time to retrieve Perf. Indicators

Summary- What We Collect:
• Performance Indicators for
– PI Server
– Operating System
– Interfaces
– ACE & APS
• Logs
• We DON’T Collect Your Process Data
Summary - Problem Detection:
• Whether the data retrieval rate of the PI server is degrading
• Whether processes are running
• Processes are using too much CPU
• Processes are using too much memory or leaking memory
• For the PI Server, we also monitor whether the Subsystems are responsive.
