SCOM / BI – Dashboard Integration Bernd Schneider Technical Solution Professional - BI Microsoft Schweiz
Agenda • Solution Overview and Architecture • Collect the Source Data • Operations Manager Data Warehouse • SQL Server Integration Services • Build the Cube • SQL Server Analysis Services • Put it all Together • SharePoint Server 2007 & PerformancePoint Server 2007 • Solution Walk-Through & Creating SCOM Dashboards
You Can Do More With Your SystemCenter Data! • Integrated (balanced) view of IT Performance • Roll up disparate metrics in a single scorecard – Server capacity, Transactions, SLA measurement • Ad-hoc analytics • Help determine root cause for usage spikes, application downtime • Predictive analytics • What will my capacity needs look like next year? • Leverages existing infrastructure • SQL Server, Operations Manager, SharePoint, Office

SQL Server Analysis Services Advantages • “Sandbox” environment for business users to: • Formally integrate data from other systems • View data models that reflect how the business side sees the world (custom hierarchies, new groupings, friendly naming, calculations) • Consume “temporal” or one-off data models • Provides an ad-hoc experience optimized for end-user query performance, trending and drill-down analysis • Ad-hoc queries and frequent monitoring of KPIs will not load down the transactional database
MOSS/PPS Integration • Interactive dashboards in SharePoint • Linked filters, scorecards, and analytics (keep everything in-context) • Scorecards • Aggregate disparate metrics on a single scorecard, or “balanced scorecard” • Measure and monitor data from virtually any tabular (Excel, ODBC) or multi-dimensional data source (SSAS) • Flexible, user-defined KPI targets, thresholds, and scoring • Trend analysis
Operations Manager Data WarehouseFacts & Dimensions Alerts Events Entities Performance State
SQL Server Analysis Services • Data Source View • UDM structure • Measures • Dimensions • Calculations
Data Source View • Diagrams of star schemas – state cube, perf cube
Measure Groups • State • Amount of time that monitors are in a particular state, and percent of total • Performance Counters • Average, minimum, and maximum performance counter values • Standard deviation
Entity Monitors Dimension Hierarchy and attributes for availability, health, and performance monitors • Top Level Group • • Type • • • Path • • • • Entity Name • • • • • Monitor Name
Performance Counters Dimension Hierarchy and attributes for entity performance counters (% free space, CPU, etc.) • Top Level Group • • Type • • • Path • • • • Object Name • • • • • Instance Name • • • • • • Counter Name
State Dimension Monitor states, grouped by up/down time. Default monitor grouping may be re-configured with a T-SQL CASE statement. • Up Down Key • • State Description
Time and Date Dimensions Calendar dates and hours of day, with separate attributes for time-folded analysis (values by hour for the past week, for example) • Date by Month (Year, Quarter, Month, Date) • Date by Week (Year, Week, Date) • Time (Hours, in 12 hour or 24 hour format)
Period Calculations A dimension that contains dynamic, time-based calculations • Month-to-date • Quarter-to-date • Year-to-date • Prior Period • Year-to-date, Prior Year • Percentage change
Demo Flow • Navigation through SCOM Dashboards • Dashboard Designer walkthrough • Create SCOM Dashboard • Datasource • KPI „Availability” • KPI „Disk free space” • Scorecard and Objective KPI • Analytic Grid „Performance Counter“ • Analytic Chart „Disk freespacetrendline“ • Dashboard Deployment
Conclusion We have… • Discussed the need for IT Operations scorecards, dashboards, analytics • Discussed building an Analysis Services cube • Created Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), scorecards, dashboards, and analytic reports
More Possibilities • Data Mining Add-In for Excel • Event correlation! • Data-driven diagrams with Visio • Show KPI status in a topology diagram • Predictive trend lines with PerformancePoint Trend Charts • More…
