Measure Performance

To monitor end-to-end performance, the management console uses:

• Baselines or averages, calculated by the management console, to enable you to see historically normal performance in your network. Use baselines to compare an application/server combination’s performance during a specific period to a historical average of past performance. Crossing a baseline does not necessarily indicate a problem.
• Thresholds tell the management console when performance exceeds acceptable limits. The management console includes default thresholds that can be adjusted by a management console administrator to a percentile-based value (a sensitivity factor) or millisecond values. When a performance threshold is crossed, the management console creates an incident. A management console administrator can create actions and notifications for incident responses to help identify problem sources.

By comparing thresholds with baselines, you can see how the thresholds compare to the historical mean and use this information for capacity planning. The management console uses thresholds to rate data. A threshold violation indicates an existing or potential problem.
