To evaluate how IBM® Cognos® software is performing,
you can view metric scores that are based on thresholds that you set.
You can also view the operational status of system components.
You
must set metric thresholds before metric scores appear. For more
information, see Setting metric threshold values.
If dispatchers and services are not performing as they should, you
can tune server performance Tune Server Performance. For more information on logging
settings, see Setting up Logging.
