Production Servers KPI

[Madanagopalan S]

We are in the process of developing KPI (key performance indicators) for our Production HP Servers. Hope someone is already experienced/developed such documents. I will
be thankful if you can able to provide me the
template.

Hi,
I haven't made the kpi's (I should :-), but when I do I'll use http://h21007.www2.hp.com/dspp/files/unprotected/devresource/Docs/TechPapers/UXPerfCookBook.pdf as a reference.
True, the indicators in the document are troubleshooting indicators indicating performance bottlenecks ... but it's not a bad place to start ...

Hope this helps,
Tom
