Key Components of Sightline’s OS 2200 Solution
Sightline Power Agent for OS 2200
- The foundation of Sightline’s OS 2200 offerings, the Power Agent collects data on system components and user-defined workloads.
- Automatically transmits critical metrics to the Sightline EDM console for alerting, analysis, and reporting.
- Enables monitoring of key performance areas, including IPs, memory, I/O utilization, and more.
Torch Capacity Manager
- A standalone solution for long-term workload trend analysis and capacity planning.
- Combines performance data from multiple sources into an integrated database.
- Generates comprehensive reports and graphs to support resource allocation and system optimization decisions.
Detailed Performance Monitoring Capabilities
The Sightline for Unisys ClearPath OS 2200 solution delivers comprehensive monitoring and analysis of critical system metrics, offering unparalleled visibility into your platform’s performance and resource utilization.
CPU Statistics
These metrics track processor utilization, including %CPU, %User, and %Privileged times. They also report on queue lengths and context switches to identify processor congestion.
Memory Statistics
This module monitors available memory, paging activity, and cache efficiency, providing early warnings of memory constraints and offering insights into performance optimization.
Disk Statistics
Report on both physical and logical disk activities, tracking queue lengths, throughput, and read/write requests to improve I/O performance.
Interface Agents for OS 2200
SIP Statistics
Provide a comprehensive set of metrics on IPs, memory, I/O utilization, Gate Activity, IPM, Dispatcher, and more, enabling detailed analysis of system workloads and hardware performance.
System Log / INSP$ Statistics
Track TIP, demand, and batch resource usage by individual runs, programs, and terminals, linking performance issues to users or transactions while detecting potential security risks or hardware failures.
TIP KONS Statistics
Monitor transaction response times, transaction rates, and errors within the Transaction Interface Processor (TIP) environment to optimize transaction processing.
MAPPER Statistics
Analyze Communication, Mass Storage, Memory Pool, User Activity, and Workload data to provide a comprehensive overview of MAPPER system performance.
MFD Statistics
Offer insights into mass storage availability, reliability, and utilization across cache, non-cache, fixed, and removable disks.
UDS Statistics
Measure transaction volumes, queuing, buffer usage, and rollback rates within UDS-managed databases, helping optimize database performance.
TPM / HVSTATs Statistics
Track TIP Transaction Performance Monitor (TPM) audit trails and High Volume Statistics (HVSTATs) for workload analysis and transaction optimization.
Step Control / MCB Statistics
Identify message queuing at various transaction stages, offering detailed insights into input and output tree activity.
CMS / SILAS Statistics
Monitor communications system activity, providing event-by-event descriptions of system throughput.
DPS Statistics
Track screen-related activities in the Display Processing System (DPS), including response times, errors, and message activity.
Torch Capacity Manager Interface Agents
Torch/SIP
Reduces SIP cycles into interval data for trend analysis and capacity planning. It consolidates performance statistics for system workloads and hardware components, making it easier to identify trends and anticipate future requirements.
Torch/Alog
Reduces Master Log File (MLF) or system log data for analysis. It offers valuable insights into log activity, supporting performance tuning and issue identification.
Torch/MAPPER
Consolidates data from multiple MAPPER systems into a unified database. This agent provides comprehensive insights into communication, storage, and workload performance, enabling effective resource management.
Torch/IO
Processes I/O Trace data, creating detailed summaries of I/O activity. This agent provides reports that help identify I/O bottlenecks, optimize resource usage, and enhance overall system throughput.
Torch/MFD
Gathers and reports on mass storage utilization statistics. While useful for understanding storage performance, Torch/MFD data is not fully integrated into the Torch database or reporting tools, which may limit its application for comprehensive analysis.
Torch/STAR
Extracts and reports data from Formula Consultant’s Star-1100 Tape Management System. Like Torch/MFD, its data is not integrated into the Torch database, potentially limiting its relevance for broader performance insights.
Torch/TPM
Reduces TIP Transaction Performance Monitor (TPM) audit trails and High Volume Statistics (HVSTATS) data, delivering detailed transaction performance reports. Torch/TPM is critical for optimizing transaction-heavy environments.
