The data collected by each Agent is sent to the Manager and stored in the PDB.
Four different types of data are held in the PDB, depending on the interval at which the data is collected. The following table shows the retention periods for each of these types of data.
Collection interval | Function that displays this data | Retention period |
|---|---|---|
1 to 10 minutes (Summary data) |
| 3 days |
10 minutes (Resource data) |
| 7 days |
1 hour (Resource data) |
| 6 weeks |
24 hours (Resource data) |
| 13 months |
Note: To change the summary data or the resource data retention period, refer to "Changing the PDB Retention Time" in the Installation Guide.
The rest of this section explains the roles of the directories that are used when Managers run.
DsaPDBWriter / DsaPDBWrite_sum directory
This is a buffer directory for temporarily storing data that is to be written to the PDB. Data that is received from Agents is temporarily stored in this directory.
Note
The amount of data in this directory will grow continuously if data is received from Agents faster than the Manager can write it to the PDB.
The specific location for this directory is as follows:
Windows
Variable file directory\transfer\DsaPDBWriter Variable file directory\transfer\DsaPDBWriter_sum |
UNIX
/var/opt/FJSVssqc/temp/DsaPDBWriter /var/opt/FJSVssqc/temp/DsaPDBWriter_sum |
BackupPDBinsert directory
This directory stores PDB backup files. Refer to "Backup and Restore" in the User's Guide for details on backing up the PDB.
The specific location for this directory is as follows:
Windows
Variable file directory\spool\BackupPDBinsert |
UNIX
/var/opt/FJSVssqc/BackupPDBinsert |
