Collected Data, Report Pages, and Views

Use the management console reports to determine whether a performance issue originates in the network infrastructure, server, or application. The management console generates reports using a combination of the following variables:

If you know the data you want to analyze, you can easily generate a report to show the required information.

The management console enables you to isolate performance problems to one or a combination of the elements listed in the following table.

Element

Possible Source of Performance Problem

Network infrastructure

Latency introduced by these:

  • Circuits
  • Traffic congestion
  • Routers
  • Switches

Server infrastructure

Latency introduced by these:

  • CPU processing
  • Memory I/O
  • Disk read and writes

Application architecture

Writing large data requests in many small packets for transmission

Determine the origin of performance problems using the following method to review and analyze the management console data:

  1. Identify the application showing performance problems using Performance maps and Application Detail views.
  2. Isolate the response-time components contributing to the performance problem. The colors in the Response Time Component view identify each component making up the total time.
  3. Investigate the contributing factors to the performance problem by examining the Traffic, Sessions, Trends, Response Size, QoS, and Statistics pages.
