Generating a Load Summary Report
The load summary is a tool that helps administrators analyze the load on the DS-Client computer for a selected period. If you observe high values at a particular time, you should consider rescheduling the activities to distribute the load more evenly. If you observe high values at all times, you should consider using a more powerful computer or delegate some backup sets to another DS‑Client.
The DS‑Client service automatically collects data for these statistics at one minute intervals. Every five minutes, the DS‑Client service updates an internal table with the peak amounts for the following statistics:
Send amount | Peak transmitted amount to DS‑System (KB/sec) |
Receive amount | Peak received amount from DS‑System (KB/sec) |
CPU load | CPU utilization (0‑100%) |
Memory load | Memory utilization (0‑100%) |
Memory committed | Amount of allocated memory (in MB) |
Activities | Number of DS‑Client activities |
NOTE: You must have sufficient rights to view information about each backup set.
To view the Load Summary report:
1. On the Reports menu, click Load Summary.
2. By default, the display is a line chart. To change to a bar chart, click and select in the Chart Type box.
3. To change the Load Summary content, click Series.
4. In the Load Summary Series dialog box, add or change as many items as required. It is recommended to view only two or three items at a time, to keep the display manageable.
5. Click OK.
In the updated dialog box, you can hover the cursor over a point or bar and see the details in a tool tip. By default, the last seven days are displayed.
6. To update the display after modifying any Select by options, click Refresh.
