SPA Analysis: Informational Report Run

SPA_Analysis__Informational_Report_Run_1_Rule (Rule)

Knowledge Base article:

Management Pack

Summary
The "Informational Report" rule shows that Server Performance Advisor was run and its XML report is available. The report contains at least one Information message. You can either follow the URI shown in the alert detail properties or launch the console task to see the report.

Causes
All reports contain role specific information along with CPU, network, disk and memory breakdowns. Looking at these reports will typically reveal new information about your servers. Tables in these reports show, for instance, logon status (Active Directory role), URL access (IIS Role), hot file, busiest disk, memory state, network status, top processes, host handles, and many other system activities.

Resolutions
The warning section of the Server Performance Advisor report captures error messages, possible actions, and links to further explaination on rules. The report contains the system health table, process table, hot file List, top TCP clients, and server role specific tables (KERBEROS Logons, IIS Top URL, Print Queue Usage,...). If the report was generated in response to performance scenarios, these reports leads to a clear picture of performance problems (e.g., what are the problems, what causes the problems).

Other Information
The Server Performance Advisor console has the MENU \| Rules option to help you further refine the SPA rules. SPA rules define whether a certain condition (e.g., performance data value) should be warned or not. You can either enable/disable the rules or adjust threshold values of the rules.
