2. Solution Overview and Architecture Collect the Source Data Operations Manager Data Warehouse SQL Server Integration Services Build the Cube SQL Server Analysis Services Put it all Together SharePoint Server 2007 & PerformancePoint Server 2007 Solution Walk-Through & Creating SCOM Dashboards

3. Integrated (balanced) view of IT Performance Roll up disparate metrics in a single scorecard – Server capacity, Transactions, SLA measurement Ad-hoc analytics Help determine root cause for usage spikes, application downtime Predictive analytics What will my capacity needs look like next year? Leverages existing infrastructure SQL Server, Operations Manager, SharePoint, Office

8. “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

9. 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

12. 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

13. Data Source View UDM structure Measures Dimensions Calculations

14. Diagrams of star schemas – state cube, perf cube

15. 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

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

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

18. 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

19. 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)

20. 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

23. Navigation through SCOM Dashboards Dashboard Designer walkthrough Create SCOM Dashboard Datasource KPI „Availability” KPI „Disk free space” Scorecard and Objective KPI Analytic Grid „Performance Counter“ Analytic Chart „Disk free space trend line“ Dashboard Deployment

24. We have… Discussed the need for IT Operations scorecards, dashboards, analytics Discussed building an Analysis Services cube Created Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), scorecards, dashboards, and analytic reports

25. Data Mining Add-In for Excel Event correlation! Data-driven diagrams with Visio Show KPI status in a topology diagram Predictive trend lines with PerformancePoint Trend Charts More…
