# HP OpenView

# Overview

HP OpenView Performance Manager provides an agent-based centralized data collection solution.

OVPM stores collected statistics in files on the local file system for a period of several months.

Axibase Collector queries the OVPM server for particular GLOBAL classes every 15 minutes to offload incremental data into the Axibase Time Series Database for long-term retention and operations analytics.
