Problem Isolation: Addressing Immediate Performance Issues

BEZVision provides immediate benefits in the area of application and database problem isolation by automatically detecting and notifying designated users of service-level breaches.

• Automatically detect breaches in service – BEZVision helps you isolate problems while they are still small so they can be directly addressed before growing to crisis proportions. This is one of the ways that BEZVision immediately delivers meaningful information to you without you having to go hunt for it. BEZVision provides automated notification, via e-mail, of any alerts generated by the three supported audit classes:
  
  
1. Abnormal Trends - The BEZVision Abnormal Trends Auditor analyzes each workload's actual and expected performance and resource utilization, using statistical process control filters to separate actual trends from background noise and reports on variations in workload response time, throughput, or CPU utilization.
2. Performance Objective Breaches - The Performance Objective Breach Auditor monitors each workload's response time and throughput and projects pending breaches of service objectives based on predicted growth and system load
3. Actual vs. Expected Variations - The Actual vs. Expected Variation Auditor will alert you if your workloads actual response times or throughput deviate by more than a fixed percentage from a previously defined baseline prediction.
• Application Drill-Down – BEZVision has the ability to do fine grain analysis into application workload characteristics – user, program, module and/or machine identifiers.
• Zoom In / Out – You can easily and dynamically contract or expand the time frame (or application drill-down level) of your analysis using a simple but powerful set of graphical controls.
• Include / Exclude Filters – The BEZVision UI makes it quick and easy to home in on a particular SQL statement, a poorly performing JVM or other problem area.
• 60+ Metrics – spanning the areas of Performance, Utilization and Data Access
