EPV Real Time STC is part of the EPV Real Time products suite.
It includes three components:
•EPV Real Time STC Engine: to analyse STC AS interval data provided in SMF 30 subtype 2, 3, 6 records and create the thresholds used to understand if a STC CPU consumption is anomalous and needs to be classified as exception;
•EPV Real Time STC User Exit, to provide a filtering mechanism that is applied to incoming data;
•EPV Real Time STC Dashboard, a web application that is constantly updated to show the current exceptions and analyze them.
Goal
The product goal is to identify anomalous CPU consumption of STC, combining machine learning techniques, other statistical principles and user settings.
Input
EPV Real Time STC input are the fields selected from SMF 30 records and collected into the EPV Real Time databases.
Output
EPV Real Time STC output is the product Dashboard.
Installation
EPV Real Time STC can run on Windows, Unix or Linux. The installation process takes just few seconds.
Run
To run EPV Real Time STC you must run the EPV Real Time STC Engine (learning phase), at least once, to create the thresholds and start intercepting anomalies. Then you just need to open the Dashboard.
Multiple sets of thresholds can be created in the learning phase and used to fit the workload behaviour.
Prerequisites
EPV Real Time STC requires the availability of the EPV Real Time product.
Pricing
The product’s pricing is based on the number of systems whose data is to be collected.
