Understanding performance trend projections in risk reports

Report contents

The report is similar to other performance reports in Ops Center Analyzer and includes twin graphs. The left side represents current performance, and the right side represents the predicted performance trend. Zoom in on the graph by clicking and then dragging the cursor over an area. Double-click the graph to return to the normal view.

Place the cursor on any part of the performance trend to view the timestamp, the performance at that point in time, and the difference between the predicted performance and the threshold value defined for that resource. Because each target metric typically covers multiple resources (selected in the Report Definitions), you can isolate any given resource performance trend by selecting the resource from the list to the right of the graph. To check more resources, click Select Component and add target resources.

Sort by

The report is organized by target metric. View a target metric performance graph by clicking the metric on the left pane. You can select and view multiple graphs.

Sort the list of metrics on the left pane by selecting either Status (default) or Metric. Status organizes by severity of the potential alerts.

Additional actions

When you select resources from the resource list, you can make a note for further tracking. Additionally, click Execute Action to send an email message, run a script, or invoke the Action Template menu.

Report options

Select Save the report as a Report Definition to save the profile and target resource selections.

If conditions have changed or if you have run corrective actions in response to the initial performance trend projection, click Re-run to generate a new report using the same profile and report definitions. Then assess whether your response has averted the risk.

All generated risk reports are listed on the Report Result tab, where they can be sorted, viewed, or deleted.
