Operational measurements browser fundamentals
Operational measurements (OM) provide statistical information about the server
operations and performances. OMs are represented by groups, which contain
registers (counters and gauges) that provide performance-related data.
There are two types of OMs: active and holding. Active OMs appear as they are
reported by the server to the management server/management console. Holding
OMs are already archived to files on the Management Server.
Use the OM browser to view both active and holding OMs. The browser displays
the OM information for a single server. The active and holding browsers display
essentially the same information and operate in the same manner.
The OM browser has two main areas, the OM Display area and the OM Details
area. The OM Display area identifies the network element instance, the OM group
displayed in the OM Details area, and if the OMs are for the active or holding
period. The OM Details area displays the register information of the selected OM
group. OMs for non-active services are not always reported. As a result, the OMs
for a non-active group sometimes do not appear in the OM browser.
