People I meet generally have a
handful of tools designed to do something other than capacity planning.
Usually real time monitors or very basic
performance logging tools designed for sys admin roles and usually teams don’t like to let other
people play with their tools, so no single person has access to everything.
The reality is that while the business
is very keen to see utilization of IT correlated with business metrics, getting
the business to supply them or make them available is usually pretty futile.
So we end up knowing there are
huge amounts of data out there that are out of our reach for no apparent
reason.
Then there is the quality of
the data.
It’s coming from all sorts of
places and you have to try and tie it all together. Somewhere along the line is something the
last guy threw together with a bit of perl/vb/excel/Access that no-one
understands anymore.
Add to that a limited number of
employees because there are rarely enough people to do anything new.
So that's where we are....
On Wednesday I'll be sharing my basic principles for data capture with you.
