Working with out-of-the-box workflow templates
The workflow templates use the following filter options:
Option | Description |
---|---|
ALL | All objects are shown (sometimes with the aggregate option). |
Top or Bottom N objects | Only one metric (most of the time) is shown for multiple objects. |
Specific values | Use for filters that have the same selections (for example, Filters for Processor type, Subsystem type, or Importance level). |
To use the out-of-the-box workflow templates
You can use the workflow templates in the following manner:
- Select a template from Workflow Templates in the Create Workflow pane.
- Create a workflow suitable to your environment by making changes to the workflow template. It can take a significant amount of time to retrieve the data and create the views of your choice in the workflow.
- Starting from the root View, which is the leftmost View on the Workflow screen, select the Filter values based on the target of your research. For example, CPC, Workload, Application, and so on.
Alternatively, select filter values based on the results displayed. For example, CPC, Workload, the Application with the highest activity or the Service Class with the highest Performance Index. - Select the same filters in subsequent Child Views to reduce the data and produce meaningful reports and charts.
