Does Application Server Control collect historical performance data?
The Application Server Control does not provide historical data collection; all of its monitoring is real time. However, Grid Control does collect and store historical data in the Management Repository. Historical performance charts are provided throughout the Grid Control interface. However, administrators can drilldown into any performance metric being monitored by Application Server Control and view a details page concerning that metric. From this metric details page, administrators will be able to have the page automatically refresh in order to see real-time changes in the metric data over a brief period of time. In addition, from this page, administrators can access detailed online help concerning the metric’s definition and how to avoid potential performance problems with the metric.
