<p>A system and method (20) for processing performance metric data and converting the data from Universal/Uniform data format (UDF) to a form readable by data analysis/reporting tools (30) such as SAS IT Service Vision. Performance metric data is collected by collection agents (15) in UDF files. Universal/Uniform data format files produced by the same type of collection agent (15) are reformatted and mapped to a dataset (figure 3) having a number of records or observations. The datasets (figure 3) are sorted by grouping the records according to a characteristic such as an attribute and performance data tables (figure 3) are constructed from the sorted datasets in the form of SAS datasets. The SAS datasets may be read by data analysis/reporting tools (30) that use the datasets to produce charts and graphs of computer system performance for display.</p> |
