Table of Contents

My library Knowledge Sources To Go is very popular, but it was intended mainly as a thematically grouped guide to standard sources and was provided by me as a PDF file. For certain topics, however, there is so much content that I can no longer include it in that document, as it cannot continue to grow forever.

For this reason, I have decided to handle such topics in individual community articles like this one instead.

Leveraging Time Series in Performance Analytics

There may come the need for a Performance Analytics Administrator to clear or purge the data from certain tables in the Performance Analytics system. This article will describe and detail some of the methods that can be used to clear such data. Caution should be exercised, of course, as these deletions are irreversible operations.

 

Measuring Incident Reassignments to the Service Desk (or any other group) in Performance Analytics

Our Service Desk is the frontline of our IT support operation. Customers contact them, they solve the Incidents they can at the point of contact, and they route the rest to other internal teams. Sometimes, though, those internal teams reassign their own Incidents to the Service Desk, which subverts the intended flow and places an undue burden on the Service Desk (who already experience by far the highest volume of Incidents in the organization). To help tackle this problem, we wanted to be able to:

  • See which internal teams were reassigning their Incidents to the Service Desk
  • Rank those teams by the volume of their reassignments
  • Drill-Down to examine individual Incidents in order to better understand why they were reassigned

 

Clearing Performance Analytics Score data

There may come the need for a Performance Analytics Administrator to clear or purge the data from certain tables in the Performance Analytics system. This article will describe and detail some of the methods that can be used to clear such data. Caution should be exercised, of course, as these deletions are irreversible operations.

 

Performance Analytics and Table Rotation

Table Rotation can sometimes have unexpected results in conjunction with Performance Analytics. This article will describe the cause of some of these discrepancies.

 

Configuring the Performance Analytics Table Cleaner

This article will describe the steps that can be used to modify some configuration of the objects and processes that control the cleaning of these Performance Analytics score records.

Hello Maik - this is very cool, thank you for your amazing work on this.

FYI, it looks like the summary of Leveraging performance analytics with CMDB query builder has been an unfortunate victim of the infamous copy/paste 🙂
