The Abilisoft MTM for Netcool® solution provides you with a way of measuring the performance of your Netcool® environment from one end to the other. Data is tracked as it flows through your Netcool® deployment from the point of entry, a Netcool® Probe, up to the point of display to operators via a WebTop™ interface.
Taking this measurement allows you to assure your entire Netcool® environment in one easy step. It allows you to demonstrate that your Netcool® service is functional, and delivering event data to your operators. You will also understand how long it takes for critical event data to reach your operators, and ensure that you stay within event delivery service level agreements that you have with your user community.
The latency measurement is taken by injecting synthetic event data into your Netcool® Probes, and tracking the movement of these specific events throughout the Netcool® architecture. The event is configured so that it will move through the various Netcool® components that you have deployed, and end up in a WebTop™ display. Abilisoft MTM finds the event at the display layer, and establishes the how long it has taken the event to get there. Once the event has been tracked by Abilisoft MTM, it will automatically clear and delete itself.
The image below shows a graph displaying the end to end performance measurement of a Netcool® environment, and the upper and lower thresholds that have been configured for this measurement.
