OLAP Data Mining Interface
A presentation front end that facilitates interaction with complex, multi-dimensional data to produce tabular and graphical reports tailored to performance analysis.
The analysis in SeaView/PDB™ is made possible by combining data from (1) SeaView/RTM™; (2) a VPN (Virtual Private Network), NAT device, or authentication device (such as Radius) that provides the user ID and real IP address; and (3) other performance tools. Together, this creates a data set that describes the response time and Service Levels identified by:
- Individual user ID
- Geographic location
- Network access (local-area network [LAN], wide-area network [WAN], VPN, broadband or dial-up)
- Application/transaction
- Server
|
Once this level of data is managed in SeaView/PDB™, you have in effect multiple performance indices distributed over time, all of which are inter-related. Hence an OLAP cube is the natural tool for discovering the factors that are influencing response time. The ability to "pivot" and "drill down" has been engineered directly into the tabular results sets of the users queries. All that is necessary to "follow a path" of investigation is to "click on a cell with an embedded link," and a drill-down query is automatically generated and displayed. This represents a whole new level of efficiency in data mining that permits the effective use of the valuable information lurking in the significantly increased volume of data. To further assist the rapid integration of the SeaView/PDB™ into the monitoring procedures of the enterprise, numerous template reports are provided from which customized reports are easily generated for each special situation.
