7 Chapter 1. Monitoring Agent for Microsoft Hyper-V Server The Monitoring Agent for Microsoft Hyper-V Server offers a central point of management for your Microsoft Hyper-V Server environment or application. The software provides a comprehensive means for gathering the information that is required to detect problems early and to prevent them. Information is standardized across the system. You can monitor multiple servers from a single console. By using the Microsoft Hyper-V Server agent you can easily collect and analyze Microsoft Hyper-V Server specific information. Installing and configuring the agent Install the monitoring agent on the system where the application that you want to monitor is located.

Customized thresholds You can use the predefined thresholds as a starting point for event monitoring, and create your own thresholds as conditions arise that you want to monitor. Hover your mouse over a help icon to get user assistance for the field. Click the help tool to open the help system for the Threshold Manager help topic. The Microsoft Hyper-V Server agent has many data sets that you can use to create thresholds to monitor for specific conditions. Tip: If you are an IBM Tivoli Monitoring user, data sets are equivalent to attribute groups. Chapter 3. Thresholds 17

25 Chapter 4. Attributes Attributes are the application properties that are being measured and reported by the Monitoring Agent for Microsoft Hyper-V Server. Attributes make up the key performance indicators (KPIs) that are reported, and you can use them to create thresholds for conditions that you want to monitor. About attributes Attributes are organized into data sets (also referred to as attribute groups). The values can be selectively displayed in dashboards or used to define a threshold. The most recent data sample of the attributes in the data set are used after you open a dashboard or start a threshold. Dashboards Attributes are displayed in the dashboards. The widgets specify which attribute values to request from a monitored resource. Thresholds You can define thresholds that monitor the state of your operating system, database, or application and open an event when the threshold is exceeded. You use attributes to define thresholds that describe a condition that you want to test. After the threshold is started, the values that are assigned to the attributes in the threshold definition are compared with the values collected by the Microsoft Hyper-V Server agent. After the condition is met, an event is registered and you are alerted by indicator icons in the Application Performance Dashboard navigator and the Events tab. The Microsoft Hyper-V Server agent comes with predefined thresholds that are enabled and started with the agent. If you edit a predefined threshold definition, such as to change a condition or severity, it is no longer treated as a predefined threshold but considered a custom threshold. Some attributes names display differently in the Threshold Editor, as shown in parentheses after the name, such as Object Count (OBJECT_COUNT). When the sampled values for the attributes that are referenced in a threshold meet the condition (such as attribute A is greater than 80%), an event is opened. Note the following conditions: v v v When no data can be collected for a data set, an empty result is returned (no rows of data) When a specific attribute cannot be collected, the value 0 or is returned unless otherwise specified in a particular attribute (for example, N/A ) Any numeric attribute value that is greater than the largest (positive or negative) number that can be represented by that type returns the corresponding maximum or minimum value. For example, the maximum value for a 32-bit number is 2,147,483,647. These values are displayed as text values that are defined by the data set, such as Value Exceeds Maximum or Value Exceeds Minimum. Historical data configurations The Microsoft Hyper-V Server agent collects historical data for key data sets that are shown in the dashboards. A dashboard page that includes historical views from the managed resource instance has a time selector tool for adjusting the time range. With line charts, you can also compare the values with a previous day, up to the number of days that have been saved. Numeric attributes have characteristics that are indicated in parentheses after the data type, such as (32-bit numeric property). A numeric attribute value can be 32-bit or 64-bit or some other size. The value type can be gauge, which means it varies, like a speedometer; counter, which counts and always increases; or numeric property, such as disk size. Copyright IBM Corp. 2008,
