The folks at Velocity are usually very good at working with the customer. They may be able to help greatly in making the determination of what is important and what is not, and (important) why. Struggling through the mass of data produced by the monitor can be a daunting task, especially for someone new to VM.

You really need to look into this, it is not that expensive. If you think about it, to get good information and be able to report it, cost is not a concern....

I can display the LINUX data and see the processes etc. but I need to be able to "post process" this data for MGMT reporting. Is this data being kept somewhere I haven't found yet, or do I need additional steps to capture this? I would appreciate any info./direction that is provided. Thanks, Bob ________________________________
