The baseline is the historical norm for performance. The management console automatically calculates hourly baselines and adjusts them for hour of day, day of week, and day of month. The activity of the past week is weighted most heavily so that the baselines adapt properly to systemic changes. These baselines are highly granular so that they reflect the impact of the business cycle. Every combination (metric, network, server, application) receives its own calculation for each hour of the day. Baselines let you contrast actual performance to that which is expected at that time, thereby providing context to the definition of "normal."
The management console calculates baselines for a particular network-server-application combination for each of the 10 baselined metrics. It does not average baselines; therefore, reports do not show baselines for aggregations. The management console includes baseline information in performance detail charts. It does not use baselines to determine thresholds.
To see a baseline on a chart, select the network, server, application, and baselined metric. Summary charts do not contain baselines. The Operations page shows plotted baseline values on performance charts to help you compare current performance with the normal values. The Performance Scorecard on the Management page shows baseline values in tabular format.
The management console shows baselines on the Operations: Metrics Details views when you enable baselines on the Chart Settings page.
