Create the Datasource Groups (DSGs) in Cisco PVM

Since Cisco PVM collects information from multiple NAMs, and each NAM can be monitoring multiple datasources, you have to group these datasources together in Cisco PVM to view useful aggregated data. This is essential for aggregation, and also a requirement to perform traffic analysis and view reports in Cisco PVM. This is described in detail in the PVM Setup section.

Start monitoring your network using Cisco PVM

Once DSGs have been created in PVM, you are ready to start traffic analysis using Cisco PVM. You can view and schedule the wide range of reports that are available in Cisco PVM. You can also start using the base-lining and alerting features of Cisco PVM. If you want to solve application response time issues, you can create ART Groups and start seeing response time information from the NAMs. Let’s go through some of the real-world scenarios to better understand PVM usage.
