Since SysPoint provides an overview of your network’s availability and performance, the data it displays is affected by:
· Sampling intervals set on the Host for collecting the different network data elements
· Reporting interval set on the Host
· Refresh interval set on the individual workstation
· Thresholds set for service levels to generate the various Alerts
· Critical resources defined and monitored
The data sources for each area of the SysPoint display are described below:
Fields |
Data Source |
CSM Buffer Alerts, Link Alerts, Port Alerts, Session Alerts, Critical Res. Perf. Alerts |
The Alerts in the SysPoint screen are reported on the basis of the reporting interval set by the REFRESH parameter in the AESTCPIP Proc. This value provides the basis for the Current, Last, and Since Midnight values shown in the Alert Summary and Detail Reports.
The thresholds for the Alerts are set in the CONFxx member of SAEDSLIB. An Alert is received when a threshold is exceeded. Alerts for Performance and Availability may also be set on the Master workstation as well as the Host. |
Stack Bytes In, Stack Bytes Out |
The bytes in and bytes out values displayed are the deltas between the current and last sampling periods. The sampling interval is determined by the NINT parameter in the AESTCPIP Proc. |
Total Channel Links, Not Ready Channel Links, Not Ready Channel Devices |
The link information displayed consists of a total count and its sub-parts: Not-Ready-Channel Links and Not Ready Channel Devices. The information is gathered through the DEVLINKMON statement in the CONFxx member. The DEVLINKMON statement is used to set the monitoring frequencies and the queue size threshold. If the threshold is exceeded, an Alert is sent to the Operators Console. |
Active Listeners, InActive Listeners, UDP Sessions, TCP Sessions |
Data is obtained from the Network Statistics Collector. The sampling interval is through the NINT parameter in AESTCPIP.
|
% Avail. Critical Resources |
Data is obtained through the monitoring of the Critical Resources. Critical Resources are defined in the Master on the PC workstation. Monitoring must be started by executing a Start Monitoring command for all selected Critical Resources. |
