Viewing the performance overview

The Performance Overview tab provides a graphical overview of the monitored instance (single metric) for which the event occurred. The performance overview graph is displayed for Alarm events only. 

To access the Performance Overview tab, go to the Monitoring > Events page and do one of the following:

• Select an Alarm event and click Launch Performance Overview .
• From the Alarm event action menu, select Launch Performance Overview.
• View the event details of an Alarm event.

 
The following performance graph plots information for the FileSystem Mount Status metric. The graph also displays the event severity (Critical) and the time when the event occurred. Zoom in on the graph plot area for detailed analysis. 

The time interval allows you to see the duration for which data is plotted on the graph. By default, the graph plots data for the last four hours only. 

The monitored instance name helps you understand the metric for which the event occurred. The SID (Instance SID name) is displayed along with the monitor instance name. To customize the graph or to view a multimetric graph, click the monitor instance name hyperlink. By doing this, you can access the Monitor Details page and customize the graph options. 

In the Performance Overview graph, alarm severity is displayed based on the initial threshold at which the alarm was triggered, even if the severity level changes later. 
For example, if an alarm is first generated at the Major threshold (75%), the alarm icon is displayed at 75% even if the threshold later escalates to Critical (85%). The graph does not update the alarm icon to reflect the higher severity when the Critical threshold is breached.

If an alarm is closed, the alarm closure is not indicated on the graph. This happens only for the non-BMC monitor types.
