HP Performance Manager is a web-based tool that enables you to analyze system performance and resource utilization using graphs. HP Performance Manager provides preformatted graphs and also enables you to design your own graphs.
For details of the versions supported for integration with HP Operations Manager for Windows, see the support matrix at HP Software Support Online.
This version of HPOM does not include a built-in graph designer or viewer. However, HPOM does include a license to install and use HP Performance Manager on the same computer as your HPOM management server. If you install HP Performance Manager on the same computer as your HPOM management server, the Graphs snap-in appears in the HPOM console tree. You can access the graphs that HP Performance Manager generates, directly from the HPOM console. Also, HP Performance Manager can load the list of nodes and node groups from HPOM.
HP Operations agents gather and store performance data locally on nodes. HP Performance Manager can connect to any nodes that have an HPOM agent, and request performance data to generate graphs from that node.
You can associate graphs with node groups, services, and service types. This enables you to more easily access appropriate reports for those node groups and services. Each time you request a graph, HP Performance Manager requests the performance data from the node, and generates the graph immediately.
