GPM Data Collection Modules
GPM provides an extensible architecture for collection data based on Modules. Modules define and collect data that is recorded by GPM. The standard and add-on modules for GPM are listed below with a brief description.
System Module
Collects information about overall system utilization of resources including CPU, I/O, memory, and disk packs.
Database Module
Monitors resource usage and I/O activity for any or all of your databases.
Workload Module
Uses a subset of the Affinité CP/Analyzer capacity management software to monitor the utilization of system resources broken down by user-defined workloads.
COMS Module
Provides you with detailed information about the performance of COMS transaction processing programs, windows, stations and transaction codes.
NAP Module
Provides performance information about systems using the Communications Application Platform (CAP) or Voice Source Express (VSE).
BICSS Module
Provides activity information from the BICSS logs on CAP and VSE systems.
Multi-Host Module
If you have multiple ClearPath MCP hosts and have licensed GPM to run on each of these hosts, you can use the multi-host module to integrate data from each of the hosts into consolidated data collection files.
RemStats Module
Gathers performance information about network transmission time for selected stations.
NT Host Module
Provides data collection facilities for one or more Windows servers.
Host Monitor Module
Provides a ‘heartbeat’ mechanism between a central monitoring host and a number of remote monitored hosts using TCP/IP.
Event Monitor Module
Accepts text input from a user program, or a system monitor such as System Assistant or MetaLogic Supervisor. EventMonitor then stores the event text in the GPM database.
