Track 2 - Session 3

Extracting important statistics to keep servers healthy - Andy Pedisich

Discover the secrets hidden in your Monitoring Results database that can help ensure the health of servers, tune clusters, and provide important data to reduce the number of servers in your domain. This presentation will show you important new views that will help you detect certain types of server crashes before they happen. It will also show you how to export data to a spreadsheet to produce usage analysis charts for monthly reports or problem solving. You’ll walk away with a new design to apply to your STATREP.NSF to show you the secrets you need for a healthy domain.
