General Indicators of a Performance Issue

There are several key indicators that provide advance warning of potential performance issues. Perform the following checks daily:

  • The size of the MOM Database:

    • Is increasing rapidly or filling quickly.

    • Is increasing more than anticipated.

  • MOM Database re-indexing and grooming jobs are taking longer.

  • Performance on the database server or Management Server is consistently slow.

  • There are alerts indicating that the Management Server queue is full.

  • Resource utilization (for example, CPU or memory) is unusually high on any computer that has a MOM component installed.

  • Alert and event latency is higher than normal, or is increasing.

  • Response time on the consoles is slow.
