Abstract:
A method to synchronize performance data of a computer network system comprising at least two single systems, wherein the performance data are defined by at least two performance characteristics of each single system and are saved as a single system response on one system by means of a common, network-wide clocked scanning interval requested by each single system, together with at least the date and start time of the scanning interval and the actual duration of the scanning interval, comprising the steps of:a) reading the performance data and date, start time and duration of the actual scanning interval for the performance data for each of the at least two single systems; b) establishing a common time interval for the performance data, wherein the common time interval is composed of the actual scanning interval including a defined tolerance range; c) identifying the performance data of a single system for which the actual scanning interval does not exceed the defined tolerance range; d) assigning the performance data in accordance with step c) to the respective common time interval; and e) representing the results in accordance with step d).
