How to Begin

You may want to run through the various product functions, first on a test system with a light workload, then on a production system. To do this, complete the following operations for each system:

1.      See the overall system health of your network by reviewing performance and tracking the status of any Alerts from SysPoint (all users).

2.      View EE UDP workload data as well as UDP (non EE) and active TCP Listeners and Sessions in real time with the Connect Expert (all users).

3.      Use StackView to monitor CPU Usage (Master/Operations Manager users).

4.      Execute Commands (Master/Operations Manager users).

5.      Run Real-Time Reports (all users).

6.      Perform Real-Time Monitoring (Master/Operations Manager users).

7.      Show SNMP MIB Browser capability (Master/Operations Manager users).

8.      Show SNMP MIB Browser for CISCO CIP or IBM 2216 (Master/Operations Manager users).

9.      Run the History Reports (Master/Performance Manager users).

10.  View SessionLog data (Master/Performance Manager users).

For each function, see the associated section. Once the product has been moved to a production system (to obtain more data), other factors to consider include the following:

·        Which critical resources to monitor in a production mode

·        How much data to keep in the VSAM files for long-term trending and capacity planning
