Abstract:
1. A method for managing apparatus performance which manages the apparatus performance in a system including one or more apparatuses and one or more applications having a dependency relation of performance with respect to the apparatus, wherein a management server which manages the apparatus comprises and iteratively executes: constitutional information collection processing of collecting constitutional information of the apparatus, constitutional information of the application and constitutional information of the dependency relation of the performance established between the apparatus and the application; performance information collection processing comprising (a) collecting performance information of the apparatus in a first loop processing, and (b) collecting performance information of the application in a second loop processing; and saturation indication detection processing comprising: (1) analyzing for a predetermined period a correlation between (i) a change value with time of the performance information of the apparatus and (ii) a change value with time of the performance information of the application having the dependency relation of the performance with respect to the apparatus, (2) determining an index indicating a degree of saturation of the apparatus, and (3) detecting a saturation indication of the apparatus based on the index.
