The PMDB helps you identify resource consumption patterns and predict future resource consumption and response times. The following methods perform the identification and predictions:•    Track

  • Track historical resource consumption trends so you can understand and predict long-term performance behavior.

...

  • Perform period-to-period comparisons so you can analyze performance improvements or performance degradation over time.

...

  • Track load patterns, entity changes, entity statistics, and component parameter changes so you can understand their effects on performance.

...

  • Track data growth and data distribution changes so you can optimize data storage management.

...

  • Proactively detect performance bottlenecks before they turn into problems and issue alerts because performance degrades from established baselines.

By using the PMDB to store this information, you can better manage your applications, make knowledgeable decisions about application changes and hardware upgrades, and improve plans for the future.
