Overview

openSM2

Provides a consistent solution for the enterprise-wide performance management

Supports the server systems Microsoft Windows, Linux, Solaris™,

VMware™ ESX Server™, Xen and BS2000/OSD and the storage

systems Symmetrix, CLARiiON and FibreCAT and all SNMP-enabled

systems

Offers a comprehensive online monitoring with configurable alarm

management

Enables detailed bottleneck analyses as well as forecasts of future

performance requirements

Gives you the capability to optimize the performance of your systems


Overview

Architecture

openSM2 comprises the components

• INSPECTOR for simultaneous online monitoring of several systems

• ANALYZER for the offline analysis of monitoring files


Overview

Monitored data collection

openSM2 collects a large variety of monitored data from

• Windows systems via the WMI interface

• Linux and Xen systems with SSH

• Solaris systems via different system interfaces (kstat, /proc, statvfs)

• VMware ESX Server systems via the VI web service

• BS2000/OSD systems with the SM2 monitor

• Storage systems via StorMan

• Other systems via SNMP

The monitored data can be collected remotely ("agentless") from all

systems except Solaris and BS2000/OSD

The monitored data is available online and can be saved to a monitoring

file for subsequent analysis


Overview

Windows monitored data

openSM2 collects measurement variables from the following areas:• Windows systems via the WMI interface ("agentless")• Utilization of processors in user and privileged mode• Utilization of logical partitions of disks• Utilization of physical disks• Data about the communication of the server with the network• Length of server work queues• Utilization of file system cache• Utilization of physical and virtual memory• Number of processes, threads, events, semaphors and mutexes• Utilization of the paging file• Number of system calls• Number of in-/outputs• Process and workload specific data• Accounting and processor utilization data of job objects• Information about active processes of job objects• Information about the print queue• Transfer rates of TCP/IP net connections• Information about Microsoft applications (IIS, Exchange, SQL Server)


Overview

Linux monitored data

openSM2 collects measurement variables from the following areas:

• CPU utilization in user and system mode and IO waiting time

• Number of processes and context switches

• Number of waiting processes

• Number of interrupts

• Memory utilization

• Number of in- and outputs

• Transfer rates of devices

• Page-in and -out activities

• Swap-in and -out activities

• Free memory pages and disk blocks in the swap area

• Network data

• Process- and Workload-specific data (e.g. CPU and memory utilization, IOs,

page fault rate, system calls)


Overview

Solaris monitored data


• CPU utilization in user and system mode and IO waiting time

• Activities of block-oriented devices

• Utilization of system buffers in main memory

• Number of system calls

• Page-in and -out activities

• Memory allocation by the system kernel

• Number of locks and the resulting waiting times

• Message and semaphor activities

• Length and utilization of waiting queues

• Swap-in and -out activities

• Free memory pages and disk blocks in the swap area

• Number of entries and size of system tables

• Utilization of file systems

• Process- and Workload-specific data (e.g. CPU and memory utilization, IOs, page fault rate, system calls)

• Network data


Overview

VMware ESX Server monitored data

openSM2 collects measurement variables of the entire server and the individual virtual machines from the following areas:

• Number of virtual machines

• Number of real and virtual processors

• Utilization of processors total and by virtual machines

• Memory usage by VMkernel and virtual machines

• Size and usage of swap area

• Import and export activities (swapping),

• Accesses to and data transfer rates of disks

• Data transfer rates of network


Overview

Xen monitored data

openSM2 collects measurement variables of the entire server and the individual virtual machines from the following areas:

• Number of virtual machines

• Number of real and virtual processors

• Utilization of processors total and by virtual machines

• Memory usage by virtual machines

• Data transfer rates of virtual block devices

• Data transfer rates of network


Overview

BS2000/OSD monitored data

openSM2 collects measurement variables from the following areas:• CPU utilization

• Number of in- and outputs

• Memory and address space utilization

• Channel utilization

• Disk utilization

• Number of tasks per task type

• Category and taskspecific resource consumption

• File access frequency

• Catalog access frequency

• Service times of devices

• Utilization of pubsets

• UTM applications

• BCAM connections

• ISAM pools

• DAB caches

• File migrations by HSMS

• Host communication with MSCF

• Partitions and emulated volumes of GS

• TCP/IP connections

• Hypervisor and guest system activities in VM2000 systems

• Symmetrix systems

• UDS/SQL and SESAM/SQL


Overview

Storage systems monitored data


• Access rates (read/write)

• Data transfer rates (read/write)

• IO response times (read/write)

SNMP-enabled systems openSM2 collects measurement variables from the MIB-2 groups ip, tcp

and udp


Overview

Monitoring of applications

Applications can be monitored by means of workload classes

Definition of workload classes

• Processes of a selected application can be assigned to a workload class

• WORKLOAD_CLASS=<name>,UID=<uid-list>,CMD=<cmd-list>

Workload class-specific data, e.g.

• CPU consumption

• IOs

• memory utilization

• page fault rate

• system calls


Overview

Process hit lists

Generating a list which shows the processes with the highest CPU consumption for each monitoring cycle

Identification of the processes that are involved in load peaks
