ZENworks Configuration Management - Server Log Parser
Updated: The ZENworks Configuration Management (ZCM) Log Parser was featured in the Advanced Server Performance Troubleshooting session at BrainShare 2011.
The purpose of the log parser is to be able to quickly get a high level view of the activity on the primary servers. It's useful in spotting trends, times of high utilization, response time changes, etc. This tool can facilitate baselining an environment in a "normal load" situation for comparison in case of performance issues in the zone later on.
