Software Introduction
This section describes the SystemReporter software positioning, versions of supported products, and interface layout.
Software Positioning
As a piece of performance monitoring software applicable to storage systems, SystemReporter can help users know the performance status and trend of storage systems.
SystemReporter employs multiple approaches including data collection, archiving, analysis, and forecast to provide real-time performance monitoring, historical performance monitoring, capacity forecasting, and performance alarm functions. On SystemReporter, users can directly know the performance of storage systems. If the performance of storage systems decreases, SystemReporter can help users quickly diagnose faults.
