hIOmon Add-Ons Support |
|||
|
The
"hIOmon Add-Ons" are auxiliary software utilities and
support that are typically targeted towards specific tasks and which leverage the extensive
functionality of the hIOmon File I/O Performance Monitor software. |
|||
|
The hIOmon Add-Ons make use of the various interfaces provided by the hIOmon File I/O Performance Monitor software. The hIOmon WMI Support, for instance, is used to configure and manage the operation of the hIOmon software. Similarly, the hIOmon export capabilities (such as the CSV-based "hIOmon Manager Export File") are used to gather the I/O operation performance metrics collected by hIOmon for subsequent analysis by several of the hIOmon Add-On utilities. Please see the “hIOmon User Guide” document for a detailed description of the variety of interfaces provided by the hIOmon File I/O Performance Monitor software. NOTE that all of the hIOmon Add-Ons described below are included as part of the hIOmon software package! |

hIOmon Device and File I/O Performance Analysis Add-On |
||
|
The hIOmon
"Device and File I/O Performance Analysis Add-On" enables
you to characterize the I/O operation performance of specific files
(and their associated logical and physical devices) that are of
particular interest to you. This I/O operation performance
characterization can highlight key metrics, including read and
write I/O operation counts, I/O operation (IOPS) rates, amount of
data transferred along with MB/s rates, average and maximum response
times, random and sequential access counts, average and maximum
queue lengths, system file cache "hit" and
"miss" statistics, physical device I/O operation activity,
etc. Please refer to the hIOmon "Device and File I/O Performance Analysis Add-On" description page and tutorial for additional information about this hIOmon Add-On. Back to Top |

Process I/O Performance Analysis Add-On |
||
|
The hIOmon "Process I/O Performance Analysis Add-On" enables you to quickly and easily configure the hIOmon software so as to collect "summary" (i.e., aggregated) file and device I/O operation performance metrics for those particular processes that you select. The collection of "Physical Device Extended Metrics" along with the export of the collected I/O operation performance metrics to a “hIOmon Manager Export File” can also be optionally configured. In addition, this Add-On enables use of the hIOmon Microsoft® Office Excel template/macros that can be optionally used to easily coalesce the process I/O operation performance metrics that have been exported to the "hIOmon Manager Export File", which is a Comma-Separated-Values (CSV) disk file to which the hIOmon Manager can directly export/save a specific set of I/O operation performance metrics that have been collected by and retrieved from the hIOmon I/O Monitor component. The hIOmon Manager Export File can then be used by the hIOmon Excel template/macros to generate various charts and graphs based upon the metrics contained within the export file. The hIOmon "Process I/O Performance Analysis Add-On" further extends the capabilities of the hIOmon "Device and File I/O Performance Analysis Add-On" by enabling you to limit the collection of file and device I/O operation performance metrics to only those particular processes that are of interest to you. This unique Add-On provides a quick and easy way to help you assess and verify the particular "I/O profile" of your specific processes/applications in normal, everyday use and in production environments. Please refer to the hIOmon "Process I/O Performance Analysis Add-On" description page and tutorial for additional information about this hIOmon Add-On. Back to Top |

hIOmon Add-On Support for IBM Tivoli Monitoring |
||
|
The hIOmon Add-On "Support for IBM Tivoli Monitoring" enables IBM Tivoli Monitoring solutions access to the summary file and device I/O operation performance metrics that are uniquely collected by hIOmon upon an individual file, device, and/or process basis for those specific files, devices, and processes of particular interest to you. These empirical metrics reflect the actual file and device I/O operations performed through the normal, everyday use of your very own applications and associated files. Moreover, no file, application, or operating system changes are required! Once retrieved by the IBM Tivoli Monitoring components, these hIOmon metrics can then be viewed, graphed/charted, monitored for specific thresholds (i.e., "situations"), and used for trending analysis, capacity planning, service level agreement (SLA) monitoring along with a variety of other enterprise management tasks supported by the IBM Tivoli Monitoring solutions. |
||
|
|
Please note that the hIOmon Add-On "Support for IBM Tivoli Monitoring" has successfully met the IBM specifications for validation as "Ready for IBM Tivoli software" and is included within the IBM Tivoli "Open Process Automation Library (OPAL)". Moreover, IBM Tivoli Monitoring is the first enterprise solution of its type to retrieve and leverage the unique empirical metrics captured and made available only by hIOmon. |
|
|
Please refer to the hIOmon "Add-On Support for IBM Tivoli Monitoring" description page for additional information about this hIOmon Add-On; the "hIOmon Add-On Support for IBM Tivoli Monitoring User Guide" document also provides detailed information specific to this hIOmon Add-On. Back to Top |

hIOmon Fragmented File I/O Operation Metrics Analysis Add-On |
||
|
The hIOmon "Fragmented File I/O Operation Metrics Analysis Add-On" enables you to determine the actual file I/O operation performance impact incurred by file fragmentation, based upon empirical metrics that have been uniquely collected by hIOmon and which reflect the actual file I/O operations performed through the normal, everyday use of your very own applications and associated files! Moreover, no file, application, or operating system changes are required! Please refer to the hIOmon "Fragmented File I/O Operation Metrics Analysis Add-On" description page and tutorials for additional information about this hIOmon Add-On. Back to Top |
