Introduction to Reporting

An efficient cluster maximizes the usage of resources while minimizing the average

wait time of workload. To ensure that your cluster is running efficiently at all times,

you need to analyze the activity within your cluster to see if there are any areas for

improvement.

The reporting feature uses the data loader controller service, the job data

transformer service, and the data purger service to collect data from the cluster, and

to maintain this data in a relational database system. The reporting feature collects

the cluster data from a relational database system and displays it in reports either

graphically or in tables. You can use these reports to analyze and improve the

performance of your cluster, and to troubleshoot configuration problems.

You can access the reporting feature from the Console (Platform Management

Console).
