Is this Peak in My z/OS Workload Normal?
More than just being able to see workload peaks and find details about those peaks, understanding the context of the workload peaks is also crucially important.
Performance analysts want to know if the workload peak is new, or has it happened before. This is where side-by-side comparison charts make the difference.
By being able to compare any chart or dashboard with any previous time interval, performance analysts can quickly determine whether a certain workload peak is normal or unusual. And drilldowns from either of the compared charts are available to investigate further.
