Implementing a Monitoring Approach Jan Warren Enbridge Gas Distribution Network Services
CNS The need to monitor the many parts of the new world • Client • Network • Server Many organizations only measure service at the component level, leaving performance issues undetected and unresolved.
Basic Purpose • Watch performance to either avoid problems or help resolve them • Manage client (end-user) expectations • Clients get used to or programmed to turn-around time of pressing a key and receiving a response • Usual response becomes expected/demanded response • Failure to meet the expectation may result in missed business objectives • Clients generally report perception
Initiative • Scorecard • IT Incidents • Response Time – IT Incidents Resolution • Error Reduction – Production Application Faults • Client Satisfaction • IT Up Time • 2005 Finance Business Plans • Secured and Reliable Infrastructure Environment through disaster recovery, desktop firewall, and performance monitoring initiatives
Business Support • Meet business priorities and deliver service excellence • Align application and infrastructure services with business objectives • Service delivery - manage application service rather than just infrastructure performance
Monitoring Objectives • Measure client experience (availability & response) • Prioritize performance issues based on their business impact • Problem resolution via accurate analysis of performance issues • Monitor and analyze application performance automatically and continuously • Integrate all monitoring and measurements into detail and level appropriate reports

Client Experienceor Perception Response Time (approximate) “It usually takes 2 to 3 minutes”
Monitored Transaction Response Time (approximate) “It usually takes 2 to 3 minutes” Response Time (precise, component specific) 0.5 secs 0.8 secs 1.2 secs
Basic Purpose - recap • Watch performance to either avoid problems or help resolve them • Manage client (end-user) expectations SLA (Client Expectation) Client Network Server = 2.5 secs. Response Time (SLA Met) Client Network Server = 2.1 secs. Response Time (SLA Missed) Client Network Server = 3.48 secs.
VantageView • Consolidates & correlates performance info captured by CV, NV, and SV • Automated alerts (paging, e-mail) • Presented via web browser • Various graphical reports • Selectable time frame • Drill-down • Customizable dashboards • Visio diagrams
Capacity & Performance Team • Script test transactions within CV • Install NV probes and SV agents • Configure availability checks • Publish customized VV reports and dashboards • Assist in analyzing performance problems • Evaluate the impact of new applications • Provide network packet captures • Provide tool access and training
Challenges • Outsourced applications • Budget
Futures • Triage • Agentless Monitoring • Passive Monitoring • More work on Oracle Monitoring • Monthly Reporting • Reporting on Trending • And so on…..
