Overview dashboard

The Foglight for Analysis Server Overview dashboard provides a quick view of the current state of the instance.
The top of the dashboard includes general information on the monitored instance. Each tile is constructed of a title that state the name of the monitored issue and an aggregation of the alarms relevant to that issue.
The tiles are organized by priority:
•
Availability - information and alarms about the availability of the instance. Also includes the monitoring state for that instance.
•
HA/DR - High Availability (HA) & Disaster Recovery (DR) state of the instance. At this stage no HA issues are monitored. DR refers to the discovered backups on the commands that are captured by Foglight's Performance Investigator (PI).
•
Storage - the total space available on the monitored server in comparison to the space used by Analysis Services databases (estimated).
•
Infrastructure - general information collected from the server & the service.
•
CPU - Show the Analysis Service CPU level of utilization in compare to the general utilization of the instance.
•
Memory - Shows the Analysis Service memory usage in compare to other processes and the total memory on the server.
•
Disk I/O - Displays the latency of the slowest disk on the monitored server.
•
Network Utilization - Show the amount of network pressure experienced by the server.
•
Operational - the processing state of the instance.
•
The number of unprocessed objects - show the number (up to 500) of objects that are in an unprocessed state.
•
Performance - summarizes general information regarding the workload rates (time proportion for each discovered wait category, for example, Lock, CPU, IO, Memory). The tile also display general information regarding the throughput and the sessions' state.
The alarms panel to the right side of the dashboard displays the list of alarms relevant to the monitored instance. The errors can be organized by Time or Severity.
