Because you can collect resource
monitoring data in historical mode using IBM® Tivoli® Monitoring,
you can import this data after you have run a schedule.
Procedure
- Click , and then open Profiling
and Logging, and select Resource Monitoring
Data; alternatively, right-click a set of execution results
in the Performance Test Runs view, and click Import Resource Monitoring Data from the menu. If you
import resource monitoring data into a report using the this method,
by default the specified time interval will correspond exactly to
the schedule run. Accepting this default might result in no data being
available, depending on clock discrepancies between systems. In this
case, you might need to adjust the time interval to compensate for
clock differences.
- Choose a resource monitoring data source from the list,
or click Add to add one. The server must be
configured to collect historical data and to collect IBM Tivoli Monitoring resource counters. If you add a new data source, complete
these steps:
- Click Create new resource monitoring location to create a new resource monitoring location; or click Create or add a resource monitoring location from an existing source to add an existing location or to create a resource monitoring location
based on an existing location.
- Type the IP address or the fully qualified host name
of the IBM Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring
Server in the Host field on the Tivoli
Enterprise Monitoring Server page.
- Type the user ID and password for the monitoring server
in Authentication.
- Change the Connection information
if needed. Typically, your Tivoli system administrator specifies this information.
- Select Save Password to save
your password locally. If you do not save your password, you might
be prompted for it (depending on the host system configuration) when
editing the configured location or when running test schedules that
use the location.
- Specify the time period for which to import data.
When specifying the time in a specific number of units, note that
for consistency, "month" is defined as 30 days and "year" is defined
as 365 days. "Days" refers to 24 hour periods, not calendar days.
The units of time that you select are subtracted from the time that
you click Finish to import the data to give
the start time. For example, if you select 2 months, the time period
will be the 60 days (24-hour time periods) immediately prior to you
clicking Finish. If you click Specify
a time interval, the Start time and End time will be automatically
set to match the run into which you are importing the resource monitoring
data.
- Select the Profiling project and Monitor group under which to store the imported data.
If you imported the data by clicking , then you must change
the default project and monitor. In this case, specify your test project
as the profiling project and the report under which you want to store
the data as the monitor; if you do not, the data will not import correctly.
What to do next
Now you can view resource monitoring
data in the report.
