Problem Resolution and Avoidance Analytics
The Problem Resolution and Avoidance analytics are designed to help you identify and resolve issues that occur in your infrastructure.
The Event Advisor analytic provides a prioritized list of potentially interesting events by finding spikes, relevant performance issues, and anomalous behavior, that require attention. The resulting list is ranked by magnitude and duration. Issue events can be transferred to Trend Matcher for further analysis. Event Advisor can be used as a starting point to find the root cause of an issue. The user can cast a wide net, looking for spikes or events that may shed light on where to start looking.
Trend Matcher assists you in root cause analysis by providing a way to identify the impact that entities have on each other in your infrastructure. For example, application latency in your data center can be due to any number of seemingly unrelated events. These can occur in silos (or domains) like servers, HBAs and NICs in servers, the SAN fabric, ports on your SAN attached or NAS storage array, etc. Using Trend Matcher, you can quickly and easily analyze your infrastructure to identify events or issues that correlate with a problem in your infrastructure.
Trend Matcher can be used in conjunction with Event Advisor or standalone.
