We held our second in a series of advanced IT Analytics webinars where Ryan discussed and demonstrated how to easily access and manipulate performance data from Operations Manager resulting in the creation of compelling reports. The use-case in this webinar was specifically focused on System Center Virtualization and how to quickly pull data regarding hosts, guests, and other Virtual Machine Manager related information using Management Packs.  With just a few clicks, Ryan was able to view virtual candidate, Hyper-V, and VMWare information on processor utilization and free disk space.

Hello Everyone,

We held a quick, 30 minute demonstration showcasing how to drag and drop Configuration Manager data into usable reports.  The use cases Ryan chose to demonstrate were machine types, ie Dell, HP, and IBM as well as application consumption.  The first challenge we walked through was getting a true count of the number of specific manufacturer machine types in your environment when there could be mulitple instances like Dell, Dell Inc, and Dell Computer Corporation stored in the Config Manager database.

The second piece of the demonstration focused on application types and how to monitor/meter usage and consumption of the applications accross your environment. Check out the recorded session by clicking here.
