SHR reports on various facts collected from the HP Performance Agent and HP Operations agent-managed nodes. The HP Performance Agent and HP Operations agent collect, summarize, timestamp, and detect alarm conditions on current and historical resource data across your system. These agents provide performance, resource, and end-to-end transaction response time measurements, and support network and database measurement information.
SHR integrates with HP Performance Agent and HP Operation agent to collect historical system and application-performance data. Depending on the deployment scenario, RTSM or HPOM discovers the hosts on which the agent is installed and running. SHR uses an HP Performance Agent data collector to collect the fact data from the hosts. The list of metrics to be collected from each HP Performance Agent host is identified by the Content Packs.
For more information about HP Performance Agent, see the HP Performance Agent documentation.
You can use the HP Operations agent Data Source page of the Administration Console to manage the HP Performance and Operations Agent data collection. You do not need to create new agent data source connections because, by default, SHR discovers all the nodes on which HP Performance Agent and HP Operations agent are installed during the topology data collection phase. These discovered agent data sources or nodes are listed in the HP Operations agent Data Source page.
Using the HP Operations agent Data Source page, you can perform the following tasks:
