Trending with Historical Data

 

IBM Tivoli Storage Resource Manager's History Aggregator enables you to define and run jobs to sum data in the enterprise repository for historical reporting purposes. For example, you can view the sum of usage across multiple resources, by database.

 

Trending enables you to see patterns of your historical data across your entire network.

 

To view historical data for items with a report:

 

  1. Right-click on the row or row(s) that represent the objects for which you want to view a chart. A pop-up menu appears.
     

  2. Choose an option for the pop-up menu. Depending on the type of report you generated, you can create a history chart for the items you select:
