Features of the Performance Tab

The Performance tab of the Device Reports panel displays performance graphs for hardware, monitoring policies, and Dynamic Applications. From the Performance page, you can view the one or more of the following types of reports (among others). These reports are described in this section.

System Vitals. Displays the device's availability, latency, overall CPU usage, overall memory usage, and overall virtual memory usage, all displayed on separate lines and graphed over time.
System Availability. Displays the device's availability, graphed over time. Availability means the device's ability to accept connections and data from the network
System Latency. Availability. Displays the device's latency, graphed over time. Latency means the amount of time it takes SL1 to communicate with the device.
CPU Utilization. Displays the device's total CPU usage, in percentage. If a device contains multiple CPUs, the report displays the total combined CPU usage, in percent.
Memory Utilization. This report displays total memory usage over time, in percent.
Virtual Memory Utilization.This report displays total virtual memory usage over time, in percent.
File Systems. The File System reports display the amount of disk-space used, in percent, for a device. For each discovered file system on the device, SL1 generates a file system report. This report displays the file system usage, over time, in percent. For devices with multiple file systems, SL1 also generates a Composite report, which displays file system usage, over time, in percent, for each file system, but on a single graph.

NOTE: If you hide a file system in the Device Hardware page (Devices > Hardware), that file system does not appear in the File System reports in the Device Performance page.

Network Interfaces. For each discovered network interface on the device, SL1 generates five reports:

Utilization, Bandwidth Usage, and Bandwidth Usage (Stacked), which display bandwidth usage over time
Errors and Discards and Errors and Discards %, which display errors and discards over time

If an interface is configured for CBQoS and you have enabled the field Enable CBQoS Collection in the Behavior Settings page (System > Settings > Behavior), SL1 will display the collected CBQoS data in reports. For each CBQoS Policy and each class map under that policy, SL1 can generate reports on the following based on the CBQoS configuration:

Class Maps
Policing
Sets
Match Statements
Queuing
Sets
Traffic Shaping
WRED

Domain Name Monitors. Displays the availability of the domain-name server and the specified record on that domain server over time, in percent. The report also displays the lookup time for each request (each time SL1 contacts the server).
Email Round-Trip Monitors. Displays the number of milliseconds it takes to send a message to an external mail server and then receive a response message back from that external mail server.
SOAP/XML Transaction Monitors. For each SOAP/XML transaction monitoring policy, displays multiple reports, including a report on the availability of the SOAP or XML server and specific content on the server. Also displays reports on page size, download speed, lookup time, connection time, and transaction time.
System Process Monitors. The System Process reports displays availability of system processes. For each monitored system process, SL1 generates a process report. This report displays availability of that process, in percent. For devices with multiple monitored processes, SL1 also generates a Composite report, which displays availability of multiple processes over time, but on a single graph.
TCP/IP Port Monitors. For each monitored port, displays availability of that port, in percent. Availability means the port's ability to accept connections and data from the network.
Web Content Monitors. For each web content monitoring policy, displays multiple reports, including a report on the availability of the web server and specific content on the server. Also displays reports on page size, download speed, lookup time, connection time, and transaction time.

Windows Service Monitors. For each monitored Windows Service, displays availability of that Windows service, in percent. Availability means whether the service is enabled and running.
Collection Groups and Collection Labels. For each Collection Label assigned to a Dynamic Application to which the device subscribes, displays collected values for the aligned presentation object, over time.

The list of links in the Navigation Bar can also include links to reports (presentation objects) defined in the Dynamic Applicationsto which the device subscribes .

NOTE: Component devices that were discovered using component mapping in Dynamic Applications might display only reports defined in a Dynamic Application.

Viewing Availability Reports for a Device

The System Availability report displays information about the device's availability. Availability means the device's ability to accept connections and data from the network.

During polling, a device has two possibly availability values:

100%. Device is up and running.
0%. Device is not accepting connections and data from the network.

By default, the method of discovery determines how the SL1 monitors availability for a device:

If the SL1 agent is installed and creates a device record before the device is discovered as an SNMP or pingable device, availability is measured based on uptime data collected by the agent.
If the device is discovered as an SNMP or pingable device before the agent is installed, availability is monitored with the method specified in the discovery session (SNMP, ICMP, or TCP).

For devices that SL1 discovers with the discovery tool (Devices > Add Devices button, or System > Manage > Classic Discovery in the classic SL1 user interface), SL1 determines availability by checking the status of the port specified in the Availability Port field in the Device Properties page. SL1 collects device-availability data every five minutes, as specified in the process "Data Collection: Availability" (in the Process Manager page).

For component devices that SL1 discovers with component mapping Dynamic Applications, SL1 determines availability by checking the status of a collection object.

For devices that SL1 discovers with the agent, SL1 collects uptime data from the agent every 5 minutes, and uses this value to determine device availability.

Changing the Dynamic Application Precedence Settings for CPU and Memory Utilization

SL1 collects CPU and memory utilization metrics using Dynamic Applications. If an SNMP device is monitored using the SL1 agent, multiple Dynamic Applications can collect CPU and memory utilization metrics. When multiple Dynamic Applications collect CPU and/or memory utilization for a device, SL1 evaluates precedence settings to determine which Dynamic Application will be used to represent CPU and memory utilization for that device.

By default, the precedence settings are configured so the Dynamic Applications that poll the device (using methods other than the agent) represent CPU and memory utilization for that device.

You can change the precedence settings so the Dynamic Applications that use data collected by the agent represent CPU and memory utilization:

For all applicable devices discovered in the future
Per-device

To change the precedence settings for all applicable devices discovered in the future:

Go to the Collection Labels page (System > Manage > Collection Labels).
The Collection Labels page includes entries for CPU Utilization and Memory Utilization. Select the icon in the Aligned Presentations column () for the utilization metric for which you want to adjust precedence. The Aligned Presentations page appears.
Locate the entry for the Host Agent: System Perf Dynamic Application. Select its checkbox.
In the Select Action drop-down list, select 0 in the Change Precedence section.
Click Go.

To change the precedence settings per-device:

Go to the Collection Labels page (System > Manage > Collection Labels).
The Collection Labels page includes entries for CPU Utilization and Memory Utilization. Select the icon in the Duplicates column () for the utilization metric for which you want to adjust precedence. The Current Duplicates page appears.
The Current Duplicates page displays multiple rows for each device; each row specifies a device and Dynamic Application metric pair. For each group of rows for a device, use the radio button to the right of the page to select the Dynamic Application metric you want to use for that device.
In the Select Action drop-down list, select Align Presentation for Device.
Click Go.

Viewing a Report on Physical Memory Usage for a Device

You can view an Overall Memory Utilization report for each device for which SL1 has discovered physical memory. The Overall Memory Utilization Report displays total memory usage and average memory usage over time.

If an SNMP device is monitored using the SL1 agent, multiple Dynamic Applications can collect CPU and memory utilization metrics. When multiple Dynamic Applications collect CPU and/or memory utilization for a device, SL1 evaluates precedence settings to determine which Dynamic Application will be used to represent CPU and memory utilization for that device. By default, the precedence settings are configured so the Dynamic Applications that poll the device using methods other than the agent represent CPU and memory utilization for that device. However, you can change the precedence settings so the Dynamic Applications instead use data collected by the agent to represent CPU and memory utilization. For more information, see the section on Changing the Dynamic Application Precedence Settings for CPU and Memory Utilization.

Viewing Availability Reports for a Single System Process on a Device

When you define a process monitoring policy, SL1 automatically collects data associated with the policy. SL1 graphs that data in the Performance tab for the device associated with the policy.

If the SL1 agent is installed on a device, data collected by the agent is used by default for process monitoring policies on that device. For more information about monitoring processes with the agent, see thesection on Monitoring Using the SL1 agent.

For policies that monitor system processes, SL1 generates one or more of the following reports:

The Process Report displays the availability of a single monitored process on the device and also displays the number of instances of that process running on the device.
The Process Availability Composite Report displays the availability of all monitored processes on the device.

Availability means the process is running.

During polling, a process has two possible availability values:

100%. Process is up and running.
0%. Process is not up and running.

However, you might see values other than 100 or 0 in an availability report. If a report contains any other percentage, it is an average of multiple readings. For example, if SL1 gathered five readings and during one of those readings, a process was unavailable, the average would be 80% (100 + 100 + 100 + 100 + 0 = 400; 400/5 = 80).

There are two ways to navigate to the reports for process monitoring:

From the Device Manager page (Devices > Device Manager):

In the Device Manager page, find the device that is associated with the monitoring policy. Select the bar graph icon () for the device.
In the Device Reports panel, select the Performance tab.
In the NavBar, expand System Process Monitors and select the policy for which you want to view the report.

Viewing Port Availability Reports for a Single Device

When you define a policy to monitor port availability, SL1 automatically collects data associated with the policy. SL1 graphs that data in the Performance tab for the device associated with the policy.

If the SL1 agent is installed on a device, data collected by the agent is used by default for policies that monitor port availability on that device.

The Port Availability Report displays the availability of a monitored port.

Availability means the port's ability to accept connections and data from the network. During polling, a port has two possible availability values:

100%. Port is up and running.
0%. Port is not accepting connections and data from the network.

However, you might see values other than 100 or 0 in an availability report. If a report contains any other percentage, it is an average of multiple readings. For example, if SL1 gathered five readings and during one of those readings, a port was unavailable, the average would be 80% (100 + 100 + 100 + 100 + 0 = 400; 400/5 = 80).

There are two ways to navigate to the reports for process monitoring:

From the Device Manager page (Devices > Device Manager):

100%. Content was found.
0%. Content was not found.

However, you might see values other than 100 or 0 in the report. If a report contains any other percentage, it is an average of multiple readings. For example, if SL1 gathered five readings and during one of those readings, the specified content was not found, the average would be 80% (100 + 100 + 100 + 100 + 0 = 400; 400/5 = 80).

Viewing Availability Reports for a Single Windows Service on a Device

When you define a Windows service -monitoring policy, SL1 automatically collects data associated with the policy. SL1 graphs that data in the Performance tab for the device associated with the policy.

For policies that monitor Windows service, SL1 generates the following report:

The Service Report displays the availability of a single monitored Windows Service on the device

During polling, a service has two possible availability values:

100%. Service is up and running.
0%. Service is not up and running

However, you might see values other than 100 or 0 in an availability report. If a report contains any other percentage, it is an average of multiple readings. For example, if SL1 gathered five readings and during one of those readings, a service was unavailable, the average would be 80% (100 + 100 + 100 + 100 + 0 = 400; 400/5 = 80).

There are two ways to navigate to the reports for Windows Service monitoring:
