HP Performance Agent
HP Performance Agent software collects and maintains a comprehensive history of your
system’s performance and sends alarms of impending performance problems. Using
HP Performance Agent, you can pinpoint trends in system activities. This allows you to balance
workloads and accurately plan for future system growth.
HP Performance Agent gives you the data you need to eectively analyze, understand, and
make informed decisions about your computing environment. (For more detailed performance
information, see the HP Performance Agent and Performance Manager software data sheet.)
HP GlancePlus Pak
HP GlancePlus Pak combines the real-time diagnostic and monitoring capabilities of
HP GlancePlus with the historical data collection and analysis of HP Performance Agent
software. This bundle of complementary products provides an ideal solution to manage the
availability and performance of a single system, while retaining valuable historical information
for use with enterprise management products, such as HP Performance Manager software and
HP Operations Manager software.
With the HP GlancePlus Pak, you can handle a wide range of system performance and
availability problems, resulting in more ecient use of your resources.

HP GlancePlus benets
HP GlancePlus provides broad business benets by helping to:
Keep business applications running smoothly and eciently
HP GlancePlus software allows you to identify and solve performance problems quickly. If you
suspect a problem, you can examine how dierent software applications and users are using
system resources. You can view detailed information on individual processes, including CPU and
memory use and t ime spent waiting for dierent system resources.
You can group users and processes into applications, and use these groupings to eciently
determine their impact on system resources. You can also view performance information about
individual logical systems in a virtualized environment. With this information, you can quickly
get a picture of how your system’s major resources are being used and who is using them.
On-screen alarms notify you of developing problems when customizable system performance
thresholds are exceeded. This allows you to address problems before they impact users and
business processes. In addition, the rules-based adviser in HP GlancePlus uses its customizable
system performance rules to help you quickly identify system performance problems and
bottlenecks.
Save time and eort managing your system resources
HP GlancePlus software provides information that enables you to identify and resolve problemsquickly, and to choose alternative system and kernel congurations or processing priorities.
HP GlancePlus has a motif-based interface that is easy to learn and use. In addition, the help
facility gives you a quick star t in using the product and interpreting performance data without
having to search through volumes of manuals.
HP GlancePlus software oers extensive congurability allowing you to tailor your solution
to best suit your needs and work style. You can set lters based on thresholds on any of the
displayed performance metrics (such as CPU utilization and disk input/output rate). This allows
you to see only the most active processes.

You can dene color highlighting on process data that exceeds user-dened thresholds. This
helps you quickly identify processes or users that are having the greatest impact on your
system’s performance. You can run HP GlancePlus as an icon and have alarms and dynamic
system performance graphs displayed within the icon, allowing you to eciently keep an eye on
your system’s performance while attending to other tasks.
Better understand your computing environment
Using HP GlancePlus, you are more aware of how your systems and software programs interact
By using its ability to group related programs and users into applications, you can eciently
assess and track system resource usage by related processes or users. The CPU, disk, and
memory detail screens give you a detailed view of system activity. You can view disk I/O rates
and queue lengths by disk device, le system, or by logical volume, to determine whether your
disks are in balance.
You can also see how much disk activity is due to vir tual memory I/O and swapping. By using the
displays of short-term history and averages, you get a view of your system’s performance that
extends beyond the last interval. HP GlancePlus software allows you to monitor your virtualized
environment by providing performance details of individual logical systems.

HP GlancePlus also helps you monitor your LAN, enabling you to identify networking problems
that are aecting the performance of your systems and applications. HP GlancePlus graphs give
you the information you need to quickly assess how your system is performing. Whether you
manage multiuser systems or a network of workstations, HP GlancePlus enables you to more
eciently understand and manage your computing environments.
