Best Practices for Creating Custom Views in TrueSight Console Michael D. West Platinum Engineering

Custom View Development Process Analysis Understand end user functional and non-functional requirements for communicating information. Design Determine the data required to support the end user requirements and prepare in TSCO any analysis templates or data marts that may be required to communicate the desired information. Implementation Select the appropriate templates that enable the work flow for the end users. © Copyright 2018 BMC Software, Inc. - BMC Confidential—Internal Use Only

Preparing Data for views Summary Data Summary data is used to display results based on some interpretation of historical data. This can include topics like Can communicate information about Top N systems, days to saturation, bottleneck resources, recommendations, or any other useful information based on the historical data. Summary data comes from Data Marts that are prepared to provide the needed analysis for the historical data. While the summary view templates interact with the SQL data marts, the input for the SQL data marts can come from either custom code or results of an analysis or model data mart. Detailed Data Detailed data is typically displayed as time series graphs for selected system(s). The metrics chosen for the detailed data are selected from within the view templates itself. However, it is possible to enrich the graphs with additional information including presenting the actual data versus forecasted data by creating analysis templates. © Copyright 2018 BMC Software, Inc. - BMC Confidential—Internal Use Only

Showing Summarized Data Summary Table template Is used to show data in a table. Can communicate information about Top N systems, systems with certain capacity trends, recommendations, or any other information based on the historical data. Data Mart Explorer template Is also be used to show data in a table. Enables use of charts to provide more the information to support results in the sumamry table. © Copyright 2018 BMC Software, Inc. - BMC Confidential—Internal Use Only

Showing Detailed Data System Detail template Is used to show time series data for the slected system in a graph. Provides ability to show some summary data and configuration data for the system. Provides pre-defined set of time ranges to select from: yesterday, last 7 and 30 days. System Data Explorer template Is also used to show time series data for the selected system in a graph. Provides ability to select any time range and custom time filters. © Copyright 2018 BMC Software, Inc. - BMC Confidential—Internal Use Only
