KPI Types

CA SDM supports three KPI types:

System KPIs are installed with the product. You can customize them to meet your needs, but you cannot create new System KPIs.
Stored Query KPIs call a stored query to retrieve metrics from the database. You can create custom Stored Query KPIs, or modify the predefined examples installed with the product.
SQL KPIs allow you to incorporate a complete SQL query directly into the KPI. You can create custom SQL KPIs, or modify the predefined examples installed with the product.

Notes:

For details about configuring all three KPI types, see the Online Help.
KPIs, whether predefined or user-created, cannot be deleted. When a KPI is no longer needed, you can deactivate it by setting the Record Status to inactive.
