HP Insight Cluster Management Utility v7.2 User Guide

6.3.7.2 Adaptive stacking
Adaptive stacking is an efficient way to monitor your cluster over a long period of time. Adaptive
stacking provides 42 minutes of data, without sacrificing the finest 5 second granularity provided
by the monitoring engine. The first 24 rings (representing 2 minutes of data, with a 5 second
granularity) progressively slide and consolidate into an intermediate ring, making room for newest
data. The intermediate ring is full when six rings are stacked in it, representing 30 seconds. Then
stacked rings slide and a new intermediate ring is created. The entire 42 minutes of history is
displayed as 24 rings of 5 seconds (representing 2 minutes of data), and 80 rings of 30 seconds
(representing 40 minutes of data). Stacked rings are displayed darker than single rings to
differentiate them.
The following figure shows Time View with 32 nodes displayed, including two color labeled nodes.
Stacked rings are visible at the end of the tube.
