Metrics

A metric is a measurement that gives an indication of the operational health and performance of a resource. It is a parameter or a set of parameters that can be used to monitor and measure the health, performance, and availability of a monitored resource.

OMi Performance Dashboard enables you to visualize this data in several formats such as graphs, tables, and so on. A performance dashboard consists of data points available for the selected metrics. A metric class is a set of related metrics grouped together based on the type of data it reports.

The metric values collected by the HPE Operations Agent and HPE Performance Agent provide information about the monitored systems: processes, applications, transactions, CPU, file system, disk, network interface, and logical systems. These details indicate operational efficiency and health of the monitored system. In addition, various Smart Plug-ins (SPIs) supplement these agents to provide in-depth information about different applications running on these managed systems.

SiteScope collects metrics from different systems without the help of the agent software. Metric values collected by SiteScope provides information on the server health, availability of a URL, Web service, database, or application servers. These collected parameters indicate the availability and performance of the IT infrastructure.

Operations Connector integrates data collected by third-party systems (typically, enterprise management systems) in OMi. The metrics collected by Operations Connector provide information about the systems and applications monitored by the third-party software.
