Time Series data graphing
Real-time network and systems performance reporting
Real-time access to state and event data
Object-based navigation for near real-time performance monitoring
In-context domain documentation
Hover text

This role supports the following performance-specific CA Chorus modules:

Command Manager module: Processes performance management commands.
Consolidated Viewer module: Provides a dashboard or business view.

This role supports the following common modules and components:

Investigator module: Lets you load, edit, and delete complete paths that you have followed while viewing and managing your systems. The Investigator module also supports the Investigator, which presents you with a cohesive view of your data. The Investigator helps you view and analyze critical information stored in your system by providing multiple work areas to help you manage your data.
Time Series: Displays line charts that let you compare CA Chorus Infrastructure Management for Networks and Systems information for the current system data and transactions with historical information. This comparison provides the needed statistics for deciding whether to take corrective action. After you select data from your Investigator table, you can launch the Time Series Facility (TSF).
Visualizer: Displays a pictorial view of your data. After you select data from your Investigator table, you can launch the Visualizer.
Alerts module: Displays performance alerts for CA SYSVIEW and CA NetMaster NM for TCP/IP based on user-configurable threshold settings.
Metric panel: Provides a visual display of key performance metrics for your monitored systems. The data shows statistics for the last 30-second collection interval. Graphs display the last 15 intervals. Performance metrics are broken down into data groups or categories.
Notes module: Lets you add a note in the Investigator. A note is private or public information that is related to an object. A note is saved with the entity, metrics, and time and date of creation. The Notes module includes Private Notes and Public Notes tabs.
Quick Links module: Launches CA Chorus role-specific interfaces and tools. For example, use Quick Links to navigate directly to CA Chorus Infrastructure Management for Networks and Systems GUI or web product interfaces such as Web Center, CA GMI, or CA APM.
Knowledge Center: The Knowledge Center is the repository for all CA Chorus documentation. The Knowledge Center includes includes online help and guides from CA, user-generated documentation, and links to third-party content.
