  1. Those Who Don't Learn From History Tom Bascom, President Greenfield Technologies

  2. “Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.”  George Santayana (1863-1952) Comp-06: Those Who Don't Learn From History Are Doomed To Repeat It

  3. Overview • Types – Of monitoring activities • What – To monitor • How – Methods for gathering and presenting monitoring data • Why – Benefits of historical data Comp-06: Those Who Don't Learn From History Are Doomed To Repeat It

  4. Types of Monitoring Activities • Baselining • Benchmarking • Interactive troubleshooting • Capacity management • Resource optimization • Historical record keeping Comp-06: Those Who Don't Learn From History Are Doomed To Repeat It

  5. Baselining • Allows you to quantify changes in performance • Apply to: • Frequently executed tasks • Important tasks Time, Activity, Costs, Revenue, Resources Comp-06: Those Who Don't Learn From History Are Doomed To Repeat It

  6. Benchmarking • Benchmarking is much like baselining but it generally seeks to find the limits of a configuration. • SpecINT • TPC • ATM • ReadProbe • 4glProbe Comp-06: Those Who Don't Learn From History Are Doomed To Repeat It

  7. Interactive Troubleshooting • Confirm configuration (trust, but verify) • What is happening NOW? • You can “prove” anything with a single data point • How is NOW different from the baseline? Comp-06: Those Who Don't Learn From History Are Doomed To Repeat It

  8. Capacity Management • Filesystem space • Database extent utilization • Memory consumption • Peak CPU utilization • Network utilization • IO throughput Comp-06: Those Who Don't Learn From History Are Doomed To Repeat It

  9. Resource Optimization • Finding unbalanced resources • Disk “hot spots” • Wasted memory • -spin • Buffers (-B, -mmax …) Comp-06: Those Who Don't Learn From History Are Doomed To Repeat It

  10. What Metrics To Monitor • DB metrics • OS metrics • Application metrics • Business metrics Comp-06: Those Who Don't Learn From History Are Doomed To Repeat It

  11. DB Metrics • Logical IO • CRUD • Global and per user • Table and index stats • Physical IO • Latch waits and timeouts • Record locks and transactions • Connections and servers • Extent and area utilization Comp-06: Those Who Don't Learn From History Are Doomed To Repeat It

  12. OS Metrics • CPU utilization -- %usr, %sys, %wio • Disk • Free space • Operations • Queues and service times • Memory • Network • Tables and limits Comp-06: Those Who Don't Learn From History Are Doomed To Repeat It

  13. Application/Business Metrics • Orders, applications taken • Shipped orders, closed loans • Items shipped, invoices printed, document packages prepared • Items in inventory, users online • Turn time, fallout ratio Comp-06: Those Who Don't Learn From History Are Doomed To Repeat It

  14. Business Metrics • Closed loans • Shipped orders • Expenses • Revenue Comp-06: Those Who Don't Learn From History Are Doomed To Repeat It

  15. How To Gather Data • Screen Scraping • PROMON • Scripts • VSTs • ProTop • ProMonitor • Low Level APIs • Fathom Comp-06: Those Who Don't Learn From History Are Doomed To Repeat It
