CHAPTER 1
Overview
The Clarity Performance Manager application enables the Service Provider to monitor
performance of any network equipment regardless of technology or vendor. It handles
performance monitoring of any Physical or Logical Network Resources (e.g. Trail
Termination Point, Network Elements, circuits and services).
OVERVIEW
Performance Manager - Overview
Performance Manager - Overview

Performance Manager allows any authorized user:
• to view the current performance of an Object in a service provider’s
network,
• to generate performance reports based on these objects,
• and to perform capacity planning and trend analysis of projected values based
on current values.
Performance View
The visual component of Performance Manager is called the Performance View. The
Performance View is one of many views embedded in the Clarity Workbench. It is
controlled by the Navigator component (refer to the Navigator documentation for
more information) and the Performance Manager ribbon.
The Performance View is used to display Performance Views related to the selected
Objects in a service provider’s network. Threshold breaches and trend forecasts are
also presented in this view.
Figure 1–1. Performance Manager
Performance Manager consists of one or more Performance Views that display the
Performance reports, and a Ribbon Control tab that contains the ribbon controls that
allow users to configure each Performance View. Users choose the elements they are
interested in monitoring by clicking on Objects in the Navigator.
OVERVIEW
Launching the Performance View
Launching the Performance View

The Performance View and Performance Manager ribbon control are not automatically
initiated when the user launches the workbench.
Performance Manager is launched from the Quick Launch Toolbar.
Figure 1–2. Quick Access Toolbar
To launch Performance Manager

1 Left-click on the Performance button on the Workbench Quick Access Toolbar.
The Performance Manager application displays (see Figure 1–1 on page 6).
Figure 1–3. Performance Manager
OVERVIEW
Navigator Pane
Navigator Pane
The Navigator pane drives Object selection for Performance Manager. Refer to the
Workbench User Manual for further information on the Navigator Pane.
Figure 1–4. Navigator Pane
Users can choose multiple Objects by holding down the Ctrl key down and left-clicking
the Objects. Users can only select multiple Objects of the same Object Type. For
example, a user is not permitted to choose various Equipment, some Cards, a Location,
and a Service at the same time.
As the user Ctrl key + left-clicks each Object in the Navigator, a new report is
generated for that combination of Objects. The reports generated after each event are
discarded when an additional Object is selected.
Note
While the Navigator should allow the user to select multiple objects from different
parents (for example, selecting multiple equipment from two different customers);
Performance Manager does not treat these actions with special consideration. All
selected Objects appear in the same Performance View regardless of whether their
parents within the Navigator tree hierarchy are different (refer to Tree Hierarchy in
the Workbench User Manual for further information).
OVERVIEW
Ribbon Control
Ribbon Control
The Performance Manager application is controlled and configured by a number of task
groups within the Performance ribbon.
Figure 1–5. Performance Manager ribbon controls
These task groups are:

• Templates: this task group controls the Performance Templates that are
used for generating Performance Reports in the Performance View. For more
information see Templates on page 15.
• Settings: this task group controls the contents of the Performance View
that apply to all sub-views. For more information see Settings on page 19.
• Time Configuration: this task group controls the time range and
frequency that Performance Manager should use when retrieving
Performance Reports. For more information see Time Configuration on page
29.
• View Configuration: this task group controls the configuration of each
sub-view in the Performance View. For more information see View
Configuration on page 33.
OVERVIEW
View
View
The View is a container for all the sub-views used to monitor the performance of
selected Objects from the Navigator. The Performance Manager View is comprised of
the View Header and Sub-Views.
View Header
The View header contains the following information:
• Template Title: the current name of the template that was used to
generate the content in the View. This value is the title attribute of the
Performance Template.
• Time Range: either an absolute start and end date or relative time that has
been defined by the user.
Figure 1–6. View header
The Template Title label always reflects the current template that was used to generate
the contents of the Performance View.
The Time Range label shows either an absolute start and end date, or the relative time.
The value to be displayed is taken from the Time Configuration task group.
OVERVIEW
View
Sub-views
By default, the Performance View is separated into five sub-views which report on the
Performance of the selected Objects in different ways.
Figure 1–7. Performance Management sub-views
The Sub-Views within the Performance View are:

• At A Glance: a report that uses gauges or charts to show the last
performance results for each value for each selected object type
• Summary: a statistical summary of each measurement in the performance
report, including forecasted values of each measurement
• Report: generates a graphical or tabular report To show the Performance
information of each Object
• Busy Hour: a report that shows the busy hour value and when it occurred
for each measurement selected
• Events: a list of threshold breaches that have occurred for each selected
Object within the selected time period
Each Sub-View can be independently controlled using the View Configuration task
group. The All sub-views button is used to control common configuration across all
the sub-views (see View Configuration on page 33 for more information).
These sub-views can be moved, hidden or resized to suit the users’ requirements.
OVERVIEW
View
Options menu
The behavior of the columns shown in the various Performance sub-views can be

Figure 1–8. Columns behaviour options menu
Docking sub-views
Each sub-view is contained within a sub-window that can be moved around within the
Performance View.
Note
The Navigator pane can also be docked on the left or right side of the workspace. For
further information see Docking Views/Panes on page 51.
OVERVIEW
View
To dock sub-views
1 Left-click on the header of the Sub-View.
2 While holding the left-click button the mouse, move the cursor away from the Sub-
View header.
Images of possible docking positions display on the view.
3 Move the cursor towards the required image until the pane changes colour to blue
and then release the mouse button.
The Sub-View is docked in the selected position.
Hiding Sub-Views from the Close button

The Close button can be used to hide each sub-view. The remaining sub-views
displayed are rearranged to occupy all the space available within the Performance View
as shown in Figure 1–9. For further information see To show and hide sub-views on page
37.
Figure 1–9. View with the Busy Hour and Summary sub-views hidden
Resizing Sub-Views
Each sub-view can be resized depending on user preference. A user can resize each sub-
view by dragging on the border when the pointer becomes a double-headed arrow
(standard Windows behaviour).
OVERVIEW
View
To resize a Sub-View
1 Move the mouse to the border of the sub-view.
The cursor becomes a double arrow.
2 Left-click the mouse button.
A vertical line appears.
3 While holding the mouse button down, drag the line to increase/decrease the size
of the sub-view to the required dimension.
4 Release the mouse button.
The sub-view is resized to the dimension selected.
Generating a View
The information required to generate a request to retrieve the Performance View is:
• Template Title: the unique identifier for the Performance Template that is
used to generate the Performance View
• Objects: the list of Objects that the user is interested in. The Object Type for
all the selected Objects is the same, and always matches the supported
Object Type that is defined in the selected Template.
• Time configuration: if the user does not manually set the time configuration,
then this information is automatically obtained from the Performance
Template configuration. This value defines the start and end date for
retrieving performance views
• Interval: if the user does not manually set the interval configuration then this
information is automatically obtained from the Performance Template
configuration. This value defines the sampling rate for the Performance View.
CHAPTER 2
Templates
This section provides a detailed description of the functions of the Templates task
group.
TE M P L A T E S
Templates
Templates
The Templates task group allows a user to choose the template used to generate
views for a particular Performance View. Each template has a user-defined grouping
associated with it that allows the task group to combine templates together in logical
groups.
Figure 2–1. Template menu
In our example window above, three different template groupings have been
configured:
• Soft Switches
• DSLAM
• DEFAULT
The template name displayed is derived from each Performance Template title
attribute.
The text in the drop-down menu shows the title of the template that has currently
been applied to generate the contents of the Performance View which is in focus (in our
example shown in Figure 2–1 is TDM and Soft Switch - EWSD - SMA). Left-click on the
Template button to show a menu of available Performance Templates that have been
configured, and separated into different groups.
To show the template title
1 Hovering over a Performance Template displays a tool tip comprising the title and
the description of the template as shown in Figure 2–1.
To refresh the template list
1 Click the Template button to refresh the list of templates displayed in the menu.
Performance Templates
The contents and appearance of the Performance View and each of its sub-views are
controlled by the Performance Template. Each template contains all the information
TE M P L A T E S
Templates
necessary for Performance Manager to generate a set of Performance Views given the
template name, the Object, and the start and end times. The template contains the
visual configuration for the Performance Graphs, and the derivation logic for the
Performance View.
The View does not support multiple performance templates within the same View. That
is, the user cannot use more than one template in the same Performance View.
Before a view can be generated, users must select an Object from the Navigator. The
Performance View then determines which Performance Template it should apply based
on the Objects that were selected. By default, Performance Manager automatically
selects the best Performance Template to use based on the Object(s) selected and the
list of Templates configured.
The Auto Select Template option in the Templates task group instructs
Performance Manager to determine the best Performance Template to use. A User can
override this functionality by clicking on the drop-down list and choosing the Template
that they want to use. Overriding the Auto Select Template option means that
Performance Manager applies the user selected Performance Template to any Objects
selected in the Navigator.
Once Performance Manager has determined the best template to use, it then generates
the view based on the template.

time the user opens the Show/Hide sub-views menu, the check box next to that
hidden sub-view will be clear.
Note
The previous configuration made in the sub-view remains in memory. Once the sub-
view is shown again, all configurations made prior to it being hidden are applied once
again to the sub-view. To show the sub-view using the Show/Hide sub-views button
enables the button corresponding to the sub-view.
The user can also hide a sub-view by clicking on its Close button (see Hiding Sub-Views
from the Close button on page 13).
The data in columns displayed in the sub-views can be manipulated - for further details
see Table Behaviour on page 64.
At A Glance
The At A Glance sub-view displays the latest measurements related to the selected
Objects, and gives a user a way to quickly identify any possible performance issues by
looking at the most recent performance data. By looking at each gauge or chart, a user
can compare how the selected objects are performing
If thresholds are configured for the displayed measurements, users can find out ‘at a
glance’ all threshold breaches for the latest retrieved measurements for each selected
Object.
VIEW CONFIGURATION
View Configuration
If a user chooses to automatically refresh the Performance Report, then the At A

Glance sub-view shows the latest measurement from each selected Object in near
real-time.
Figure 5–6. Gauges show in the At a Glance sub-view
The At A Glance sub-view displays the last value that was obtained for each
measurement, grouped together by the selected Objects. It is a conceptual gauge you
would see related to the last recorded performance measurement of each selected
Object based on the chosen time range.
When a threshold is configured for a particular measurement, then Performance
Manager shows a coloured bar for each threshold severity as shown in Figure 5–6.
The sub-view can be logically separated into rows and columns. Each row represents
the Object that is being measured. Each column represents the measurements collected
against each of the Objects. Each row contains the same measurements appearing in the
same column; thereby allowing a user to quickly compare measurements between
different object types.
VIEW CONFIGURATION
View Configuration
Figure 5–7. Report sub-view displaying gauge layout
Users can configure the measurements that are displayed in the sub-view by using the
At A Glance button in the View Configuration task group. From this button, a user
can choose from the menu as many measurements as they wish to be generated as
gauges.

Performance Manager generates all the gauges/charts on the same row and display a
horizontal scroll bar if necessary. By doing this, the user can visually compare the same
measurements across different Objects (since they are in the same vertical column).
The list of measurements appearing in the At A Glance button is obtained from the
current Performance Template chosen for the Performance View.
Changing the measurements using the At A Glance button changes all measurements
currently being displayed by the sub-view for all selected Objects.
Note
It is not possible for a user to choose the measurements to be displayed for each
individual Object.

Summary
The Summary sub-view allows a user to view statistical information related to all the
collected Performance Data for the selected time period and selected Objects.
Figure 5–10. Summary sub-view
The sub-view also presents users with a forecast of future values for each quarter over
the coming year based on the data which was retrieved for the configured time period.
The Summary information can be used to find out whether each selected Object is
running without issues (by looking at the statistical information such as Maximum
Minimum and Average) as well as view the forecasted values to determine whether or
not there is cause for concern given current measurement trends.
VIEW CONFIGURATION

Report
The Report sub-view allows users to view all the performance data that was returned
by the Performance Views in a graphical or tabular report. Users can switch between a
chart or report format using the Report button (see To select a Chart display (default)
on page 46 and To select a Report display on page 47).
Figure 5–13. Chart display for the Report sub-view
The look of the Chart or Report depends on the Report Type that was chosen for the
template as well as the number of Object Types a user has selected.
For Charts, a new graph is generated for each Performance Report retrieved. The
colours for each measurement are configured in the Performance Template. In the case
where the colours are not configured (for example when generating a MEASUREMENT
Report Type) then Performance Manager automatically chooses the colours for each
measurement.
Each graph is configured with a Y axis by default. If there are measurements defined in
the template that associate the measurement to the Y1 axis, then Performance Manager
creates an Y1 axis on each Chart. The display text for Y, Y1, and X Axis are configured
in the Performance Template. The title for each graph is the Performance Template
title. Appended to this is the focus of the Performance Report (measurement, object,
or time that was configured in the request; depends on the report type).
The user can control many aspects of the Performance Graph, and some part of the
tabular report as well by using the Report button and its associated menu options.
