Performance reports in Operations Manager 2007 analyze performance data that collected by rules. Following is a description of each Performance generic report that includes a description of its report controls and report parameters. The parameter block of each report that can be copied into the definition of a linked report is also included.

Performance

The Performance report shows one or multiple charts and display data as historical chart or histograms. For the selected time range, the report includes performance data with charts and a data tables.

The ID of the Performance report is Microsoft.SystemCenter.DataWarehouse.Report.Performance.

Controls and Parameters

The controls that are used in the Performance report are shown in the following table with the parameters that each populates.

Control	Parameters	Description
Business Relative Date Time Picker	StartDate_BaseType StartDate_BaseValue StartDate_OffsetType StartDate_OffsetValue EndDate_BaseType EndDate_BaseValue EndDate_OffsetType EndDate_OffsetValue TimeZone TimeZoneName TimeType TimeWeekMap	Only performance data that was collected in the date and time range are included in the report. These are the standard date parameters described in Common Parameters. This control can be removed if a defined relative data time range is provided for the parameter.
Performance Object Picker	ObjectList ManagementGroupId	Specifies objects that are included in the report and the contents and configuration of the graph. This is the standard Performance Object Picker control described in Performance Report Controls. This control is typically replaced by Linked Performance Object Picker in linked reports that use the contents and configuration of the graph provided in the properties for that control.
Combo Box	DataAggregation	Specifies how to aggregate the data included in the report. Allowed values for this parameter are provided in Performance Parameters. This control can be removed from the report if you provide a specific value for the DataAggregation parameter.
Combo Box	AggregationType	Single value that specifies how to aggregate the data on the X-axis. Allowed values for this parameter are provided in Performance Parameters. This control can be removed from the report if you provide a specific value for the AggregationType parameter.
Boolean Picker	Enable3D	A value of true or false indicates whether the graph should be displayed in 3D. This control can be removed from the report if you provide a specific value for the Enable3D parameter.

Parameter Block

The following is the parameter block for the Performance report. You can copy this into a linked report that is based on the Performance report to replicate the controls of the base report.

Performance Detail

The Performance Detail report shows a series with these fixed settings:

Average is displayed as a black line.
Standard Deviation is displayed as an orange area.
The area between the lowest to the highest value is filled with blue color.

If a Histogram is specified, this report displays a link to a table detailing average, min, max and standard deviation for all time periods averaged into one x-axis unit. A second, smaller chart details the number of performance counter samples making up this report.

The ID of the Performance Detail report is Microsoft.SystemCenter.DataWarehouse.Report.PerformanceDetail.

Performance Top Instances

The Performance Top Instances report shows columns for every found object starting at 0 to the max or min value for the selected reporting time range. The chart also indicates with a black error bar the fluctuation in value of this object for the selected reporting time range. If the error bar is very small this object was for the reporting time range always close to value displayed by the column. If it is very wide the object fluctuates and the top or bottom value should be not taken as the value which is to be expected.

The ID of the Performance Top Instances report is Microsoft.SystemCenter.DataWarehouse.Report.PerformanceTopInstance.

Controls and Parameters

The controls that are used in the Performance Top Instances report are shown in the following table with the parameters that each populates.

Control	Parameters	Description

These are the standard date parameters described in Common Parameters. This control can be removed if a defined relative data time range is provided for the parameter.
Monitoring Object Picker	ObjectList ManagementGroupId	Specifies the groups or objects that are included in the report. This includes an ID from the data warehouse so that the parameters cannot be populated without the control. This is the standard Object XML Picker control described in Common Report Controls. This control should not be removed from the report.
Combo Box	SortOrder	Single value that specifies whether to sort the instances from the top or bottom. Allowed values for this parameter are provided in Performance Parameters. This control can be removed from the report if you provide a specific value for the SortOrder parameter.
Numeric Up Down	TopCount	Integer specifying the number of instances to include in the report. Allowed values for this parameter are provided in Performance Parameters. This control can be removed from the report if you provide a specific value for the TopCount parameter.
Performance Rule Picker	RuleId ManagementGroupId	Single GUID or $MPElement variable specifying the rule collecting the performance counter. The RuleId is discussed in Performance Parameters. This control can be removed from the report if you provide a specific value for the RuleId parameter.

Performance Top Objects

The Performance Top Objects report shows columns for every found object starting at 0 to the max or min value for the selected reporting time range. The chart also indicates with a black error bar the fluctuation in value of this object for the selected reporting time range. If the error bar is very small this object was for the reporting time range always close to value displayed by the column. If it is very wide the object fluctuates and the top or bottom value should be not taken as the value which is to be expected.
