1.3 Overview of Functions

This section gives an overview of the display and analysis functions provided by ETERNUS SF Disk Space Monitor.

1.3.1 Console 

The Console provides two functions: the Monitor function and the Drill Down function.

1.3.1.1 Monitor view 

The Monitor view displays representative information to enable the user to understand the current status of the entire system.

1.3.1.2 Drill Down view 

The Drill Down view displays a variety of detailed information in chronological order based on the time that a problem occurred.

1.3.2 Report view 

The Report view provides two types of reporting function: the On-Demand Report function and the Scheduled Report function.

1.3.2.1 On-Demand Report 

Three levels of reporting are provided depending on the precision of the information and the purpose of the report: full system inspection reports, categorized diagnostic reports and detailed reports.

Report category	Overview
Full system inspection report	This report enables system administrators to periodically inspect the operational status of the system.
Categorized diagnostic report	This report is for primary fault isolation of bottlenecks within servers where problems have occurred.
Detailed report	This report is for checking detailed information in terms of particular data.

1.3.2.2 Scheduled report 

Unlike the On-Demand Report function, which outputs reports to the screen as needed, the Scheduled Report function automatically outputs daily, weekly and monthly reports by setting up report criteria in advance and registering these with the scheduler.
