Understanding Historical Network Performance › ReportCenter

ReportCenter

ReportCenter is an optional, separately implemented component that stores network performance data collected by multiple regions in a mainframe SQL database. You can then use WebCenter to generate web-based graphical historical and trend reports from this data.

ReportCenter provides a variety of predefined reports. Reports are provided for the following resources:

• Stack workload (comprising FTP, Telnet, and business application traffic)
• Stack IP, TCP, and UDP activity
• Stack network interface device links
• Virtual IP Addresses (VIPAs)
• Open System Adapters (OSAs)
• CISCO interface processors
• Enterprise Extender (EE)
• Communication storage management
• Address space and ports
• Generic SNMP MIB attributes
• File transfer

The Report Examples is a collection of pre-generated ReportCenter reports.

Example: Stack Workload Analysis Report

The Stack Workload Analysis report contains the following information:

• Total workload
• Concurrent active connections
• Workload and business applications
• FTP workload
• Telnet workload

This example shows the total workload on a stack over one month.
