Fabric Manager Web Services Overview
Using Fabric Manager Web Services, you can monitor MDS switch events, performance, and inventory,
and perform minor administrative tasks.
Fabric Manager Web Services provides the following features:
• Summary and drill down reports—The Performance Manager summary report provides a high-level
view of your network performance. These reports list the average and peak throughput and provides
hot-links to additional performance graphs and tables with additional statistics. Both tabular and
graphical reports are available for all interconnections monitored by Performance Manager.
Performance Manager also analyzes daily, weekly, monthly and yearly trends. These reports are
only available if you create a collection using Performance Manager and start the collector. See the
“Historical Performance Monitoring” section on page 33-2.
• Zero maintenance database for statistics storage—No maintenance is required to maintain
Performance Manager’s round-robin database, because its size does not grow over time. At
prescribed intervals the oldest samples are averaged (rolled-up) and saved. A full two days of raw
samples are saved for maximum resolution. Gradually the resolution is reduced as groups of the
oldest samples are rolled up together.
