Product Overview
.Sightline EA/V offloads the overhead of performance monitoring from the host to the desktop. EA/V identifies and monitors the critical paths of e-business services across the IT infrastructure enabling you to detect and eliminate problems in real-time, before they become major performance bottlenecks.
EA/V provides various methods to view your data, all accessible at the click of a button. You can display the data in a conventional line plot and instantly switch to a scatter plot or any of twelve other views. EA/V also contains an online data dictionary, containing definitions of the reported metrics.
The Windows-based EA/V workstation provides graphical displays of the utilization of a variety of resources (CPU, memory, storage, etc.), technical and management reports, and more. Users can create customized information displays and view and manage information remotely, using a web browser.
In addition to displaying performance information, Sightline EA/V provides automated, intelligent analysis features, such as AutoCorrelate, AutoAnalyze, and AutoInvestigate. These and other features provide tuning advice enabling you to analyze live or potential problem areas within your server, whether it is a ClearPath MCP system, ClearPath OS 2200 system, UNIX, Linux, Windows, or other supported system.
The EA/V workstation is not limited to analysis and correlation of data from the current system. It can be used to analyze performance and capacity information from a wide range of components in your data processing environment. This feature adds unique functionality such as highlighting unknown relationships between various components of your IT infrastructure.
EA/V includes the following features:
AutoAnalyze
AutoAnalyze uses expressions, or rules, to search specified data and examine certain condition sets that suggest potential service level impacts; when any defined condition set becomes true AutoAnalyze produces a group of reports describing the activity of the host system, highlighting potential performance problems.
AutoCorrelate
AutoCorrelate is the industry's premier linear correlation engine that quickly compares the inter-relationships of large volumes of data metrics across your entire computing infrastructure. AutoCorrelate helps you analyze your systems’ data in seconds to identify problems and their exact cause, enabling your technicians to rectify those problems immediately.
AutoInvestigate
AutoInvestigate isolates periods of time when enterprise parameters have deviated from their normal patterns.
AutoAlert
AutoAlert examines user-defined threshold definitions based on specific events that, when they occur, trigger a warning message, execute an action, or send an email message or page. In addition, AutoThreshold takes the guesswork out of identifying appropriate threshold levels by providing an automated way of specifying threshold values based on their deviation from normal behavior.
AutoWeb
AutoWeb creates and serves HTML pages from the pages and plots displayed by Sightline. Custom HTML pages can be substituted for the default environment, to match the look and feel of your existing intranet styles, as well as supplement plots with explanations and related links.
Automation
Automation allows you to access the performance data that is stored in trace files and work with it in other applications. It also provides an effective tool to customize or automate frequent tasks you want to perform.
Trend Analyzer
Trend Analyzer helps you to identify trends in your historical Sightline data, allowing you to summarize and profile data in ways that were previously unavailable.
Configuration Requirements
Sightline EA/V can be run on any system with a supported Windows operating system. See the Compatibility Matrices on the Unisys Product Support website.
