Troubleshooting Performance Manager
Performance Manager gathers network device statistics historically and provides this information
graphically using a web browser. It presents recent statistics in detail and older statistics in summary.
Performance Manager also integrates with external tools such as Cisco Traffic Analyzer.
The Performance Manager has three operational stages:
• Definition—The Flow Wizard sets up flows in the switches.
• Collection—Reads the configuration from the database, the flow configuration from the switches,
and collects the desired information.
• Presentation—Generates web pages to present the collected data.
Performance Manager uses a round-robin database to hold the statistical data collected from the fabric.
This data is stored based on the configured parameters in the collection configuration file. At each
polling interval, Performance Manager gathers the relevant statistics and stores them in the round-robin
database. This database is a fixed size and will not grow beyond its preset limits.
Performance Manager creates a series of archived data to hold summarized information present in the
real-time round-robin database. This archived data is used to generate daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly
consolidated reports. In this way, Performance Manager maintains significant historical data without the
cost of an ever-increasing database size.
