Configuring Data Collection Scheduler properties

The Data Collection Scheduled properties allow you to adjust the frequency at which the PowerVM HMC Agent collects data from the monitored system.

Collector Config: A list identifying the data collectors the agent uses. Each entry in the list includes the following columns, allowing you to adjust the data collection settings for each individual collector:
Collector Name: The name of the collector: Essential Collection, Resource Collection (Resource, Disk, Network), and Inventory Collection.
Default Collection Interval: The length of the default collection interval.
Time Unit: The time unit for measuring the default collection interval: milliseconds, seconds, minutes, hours, or days.
Fast-Mode Collection Interval: The length of the collection interval when the agent is running in fast mode.
Fast-Mode Time Unit: The time unit of the collection interval when the agent is running in fast mode.
Fast-Mode Max Count: The maximum count of entries when the agent is running in fast mode.

Monitoring your PowerVM environment

You can monitor the performance of PowerVM® servers, PowerVM partitions, and PowerVM Virtual I/O servers on the Monitoring tab of the Infrastructure Environment dashboard. The information appearing on this dashboard can tell you how well the selected monitored objects are performing given the current workload, and to discover potential resource-level issues, typically indicated by higher than usual processor, memory, and disk storage usage. This allows you to pro-actively reallocate resources where they are most needed, and to prevent service interruptions before they happen.

Exploring the Infrastructure Environment dashboard

A typical PowerVM® environment includes one or more HMC instances, managed PowerVM servers, PowerVM partitions, and PowerVM Virtual I/O server (VIOS) instances. You can view the state of these components on the Infrastructure Environment dashboard when you select the PowerVM service.

The Infrastructure Environment dashboard provides a set of tabs, each displaying a different aspect of your monitored system.

The Monitoring tab displays main components of your monitored PowerVM infrastructure such as HMC instances, managed servers, partitions, and VIOS instances. When you navigate to the Infrastructure Environment dashboard and select the PowerVM service for the first time, the Monitoring tab appears open.

On the navigation panel, under Dashboards, click Infrastructure.

On the Infrastructure Environment dashboard, on the Monitoring tab, click a tile representing the object type that you want to investigate.
The Selected Service PowerVM view refreshes, showing the performance summary of all managed servers in the Summary - All Managed Server view on the right.
5
In the Managed Server view on the left, select an object instance from the list.
For example, if you selected All Managed Server, click a managed server in the list.

Selecting monitored objects

A set of tiles along the top of this tab gives you a quick overview of the monitored objects: HMC instances, managed servers, partitions, and VIOS instances. Each tile represents a collection of a specific object type, shows the object count, and the count of objects in each alarm state (Normal, Warning, Critical, and Fatal).

The Selected Service PowerVM view appearing immediately below the tiles allows you to select a specific instance of the tile selection. From here, you can drill down on a desired object instance, and review the metrics associated with the selected object.
