5. Select the host agent name from the HostAgent box, if your XP array is connected to more than

one host agent. Every host agent can accept only one instance of a real-time performance data

collection request. If you want to use the same host agent for another real-time data collection

request, you must stop the current data collection and initiate the new request. For more

information, see “Stopping real-time performance data collection” on page 72.

6. Select the command device from the Command Device list.

7. From the Choose Metrics list, select the check boxes for the real-time metrics of your choice. For

more information on real-time metric, see Appendix G on page 373.

8. Click Start Plotting.

XP Performance Advisor plots performance graphs in the Chart Work Area as and when the

real-time performance data is collected for the selected resources. For more information on using

charts, see “Plotting charts” on page 213.

NOTE:

For the selected XP array and host agent, if you want to select a different combination of

resources for real-time monitoring or choose another command device, you should stop the

current real-time performance data collection, and then start a new real-time performance

data collection.
