Chapter 2 Getting Started With IPM
Viewing Network Performance Statistics
Step 13 Click Add.
IPM adds the newly defined collector to the IPM database.If you selected a DNS operation, the Extra
DNS Settings window appears (Figure 2-7).
Step 14 Enter a DNS Lookup Name (the name of the host to look up for the DNS request) and click OK.
Figure 2-7 Extra DNS Settings Window
Step 15
Click Close to close the Configuration window and return to the
IPM Main Window.
The newly defined collector has been added to the list of collectors in the
IPM Main Window.
If you must add a large number of collectors to IPM, you can use the Collector Configuration window
to add them one-by-one, but it is more efficient to use a seed file.
For information about using a seed file to add collectors to IPM, see Adding Components Using Seed
Files. For information about viewing or deleting collectors, see Working With Collectors.
Viewing Network Performance Statistics
As your collectors begin to gather network performance statistics and store the information in the IPM
database, you can view the resulting data.
IPM provides two methods for reviewing network performance statistics:
• Viewing Network Performance Statistics in Real Time, page 2-18
• Viewing Historical Network Performance Statistics, page 2-20
