Fabric Manager Web Server provides the following features: • Summary and drill down reports-The Performance Manager summary report provides a high-level view of your network performance. These reports list the average and peak throughput and provides hot-links to additional performance graphs and tables with additional statistics. Both tabular and graphical reports are available for all interconnections monitored by Performance Manager. Performance Manager also analyzes daily, weekly, monthly and yearly trends. These reports are only available if you create a collection using Performance Manager and start the collector. See the "Historical Performance Monitoring" section on page 60-4. • Zero maintenance database for statistics storage-No maintenance is required to maintain Performance Manager's round-robin database, because its size does not grow over time. At prescribed intervals the oldest samples are averaged (rolled-up) and saved. A full two days of raw samples are saved for maximum resolution. Gradually the resolution is reduced as groups of the oldest samples are rolled up together. OL-8007-10, Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 3.x Cisco MDS 9000 Family Fabric Manager Configuration Guide 7-1
