Abstract
An apparatus, and an associated methodology, automatically monitors operations at a data center. A metric obtainer collects metrics associated with operation of entities maintained or operated at the data center. The collected metrics are stored at a database whose contents are accessible by an analyzer. The analyzer analyzes the collected data. Analyses are used to manage operations at the data center.
