Assess Console Activity

  • Article

If the consoles are excessively slow to respond to specific views, verify that:

  • The number of consoles and agents for the management group is within supported limits.

  • There are no database server or Management Server performance problems.

After verifying that none of the preceding conditions exist, focus on the view that is performing slowing and conduct the following assessment.

See how many rows are displayed in the view

It is recommended that a view contain one day of data, which is approximately 1 million rows. If your row count is higher, you can decrease the count by editing the time view filter.

Determine how many other consoles are auto-refreshing the same view

It is recommended that you do not have more than 5 consoles open and auto-refreshing the same view, particularly when working with the Events view. You can close the additional open consoles or increase the auto-refresh interval to more than the default setting (one minute).

Check resource utilization on the console computer

Verify that other applications are not depriving the consoles of the resources that they require.
