How Performance OLAs Work

A performance operational level agreement (performance OLA) lets you evaluate compliance with application performance goals for a remote site. By default, the management console does not define operational levels for application performance.

Performance OLAs enhance reporting by tracking the behavior of the worst performing IPv4-based transactions over time. This tracking indicates where and when performance degradation is most serious. This tracking also enables users to understand how performance varies from the mean data points reported in the management console.

By default, the management console does not report performance OLAs. You can create OLAs for a user-defined application, but not for a system-defined application.

Because of the way the management console collects OLA data and measures OLA compliance, it is recommended that you set up OLAs to measure compliance at each remote location rather than across all locations. To establish OLAs at each remote location, use network types.

(Optional) To set a performance OLA for an application and apply the OLA to all the servers monitored by the management console, create a user-defined application and assign it to a domain. The management console automatically keeps the application server assignments up-to-date as your server subnets change.
