“Sandbox” environment for business users to: Formally integrate data from other systems View data models that reflect how the business side sees the world (custom hierarchies, new groupings, friendly naming, calculations) Consume “temporal” or one-off data models Provides an ad-hoc experience optimized for end- user query performance, trending and drill-down analysis Ad-hoc queries and frequent monitoring of KPIs will not load down the transactional database

Interactive dashboards in SharePoint Linked filters, scorecards, and analytics (keep everything in-context) Scorecards Aggregate disparate metrics on a single scorecard, or “balanced scorecard” Measure and monitor data from virtually any tabular (Excel, ODBC) or multi-dimensional data source (SSAS) Flexible, user-defined KPI targets, thresholds, and scoring Trend analysis

Performance/Events/State Data is written via the Management Server “directly” to the Data Warehouse store Alerts/Discovered Entities/Metadata Synchronizes data between Operational and Reporting database Granular, batched, fast processes Short, fast transactions Near-zero latency Built-in recover-after-failure mechanism

Diagrams of star schemas – state cube, perf cube

State Amount of time that monitors are in a particular state, and percent of total Performance Counters Average, minimum, and maximum performance counter values Standard deviation

Hierarchy and attributes for availability, health, and performance monitors Top Level Group Type Path Entity Name Monitor Name

Hierarchy and attributes for entity performance counters (% free space, CPU, etc.) Top Level Group Type Path Object Name Instance Name Counter Name

Monitor states, grouped by up/down time. Default monitor grouping may be re-configured with a T-SQL CASE statement. Up Down Key State Description

Calendar dates and hours of day, with separate attributes for time-folded analysis (values by hour for the past week, for example) Date by Month (Year, Quarter, Month, Date) Date by Week (Year, Week, Date) Time (Hours, in 12 hour or 24 hour format)

A dimension that contains dynamic, time-based calculations Month-to-date Quarter-to-date Year-to-date Prior Period Year-to-date, Prior Year Percentage change
