Viewing data manager information

The Data Manager manages the insertion of records (measures) into the record file. It accumulates data in an internal queue, then transfers the data to the record file when the queue reaches a specified size. Each time the Data Manager transfers data it stores information about the job.

Procedure

  1. Click Collector Information from the Monitor tab.
  2. Select a collector from the list.
  3. Click the Data Manager tab. The Data Manager window displays the following information:
    Item Description
    .dat files
    • dat files (nb) [immediate] - Indicates the number of .dat files located in the $PVMHOME/data directory.
    • dat files (KB) [immediate] - Indicates the size of the .dat file.
    Average Storage Time

    Specifies the average time to store a measure in a local file.

    • Average Storage Time (ms) [last 24 hours] - Indicates the average processing time for a measure during the last 24 hours.
    • Average Storage Time (ms) [last hour] - Indicates the average processing time for a measure during the last hour.
    Congestion State Indicates the Congestion State code.
    Filesystem
    Indicates file system space information:
    • Filesystem FSLL (KB) [immediate] - Indicates the size of the FSLL for the file system.
    • Filesystem available (KB) [immediate] - Indicates the available size of the file system.
    • Filesystem free space (KB) [immediate] - Indicates the amount of free space on the file system.
    • Filesystem quota (KB) [immediate] - Indicates the size of the quota for the file system.
    • Filesystem used (KB) [immediate] - Indicates the amount of space used on the file system.
    Measures
    A measure is a record inserted into the record file. Each insertion is measured in time and the median value is posted.
    • Measures Processed Average (Nb) [last 24 hours] - Indicates the number of measures processed during the last 24 hours.
    • Measures Processed Average (Nb) [last hour] - Indicates the number of measures processed during the last hour.
    • Measures Lost (Nb) [cumul] - Indicates the number of measures that have been lost since the start of the collector. These measures were collected but were not saved.
    • Measures Lost (Nb) [last 24 hours] - Indicates the number of measures lost during the last 24 hours. These measures were collected but were not saved.
    • Measures Lost (Nb) [last hour] - Indicates the number of measures lost during the last hour. These measures were collected but were not saved.
    • Measures Stored (Nb) [cumul] - Indicates the total number of measures stored. For example, total number of answers from metrics requested.
    • Measures Stored (Nb) [last 24 hours] indicates the total number of measures stored. For example, the total number of answers from metrics requested over the last 24 hours.
    • Measures Stored (Nb) [last hour] indicates the total number of measures stored. For example, the total number of answers from metrics requested over the last hour.
    Save Availability
    Displays the reliability of data insertion. Reliability of 100% means that all measures are correctly inserted. A reliability rate of less than 100% does not necessarily indicate a loss of measures, but should be investigated.
    • Save Availability (%) [last 24 hours] - Indicates the calculated insertion reliability during the last 24 hours.
    • Save Availability (%) [last hour] - Indicates the calculated insertion reliability during the last hour.
