  • Method and apparatus providing centralized analysis of distributed system performance metrics
    Publication number: 20040236757
    Abstract: Performance parameters are accumulated on distributed processing units and analyzed in an analysis engine. The parameters include response time measurements and workload across intervals of time. The parameters are stored in a standard instrumentation database for each processing unit. The analysis engine accesses the distributed databases over a standard interconnect network. The analysis engine uses the parameters to determine metric entropy, response time, and utilization. The analysis engine triggers an alarm if maximum limit values are exceeded, and estimates additional processing resources needed to alleviate bottlenecks and optimize system performance.
