The Alerts in the SysPoint screen are reported on the basis of the sampling 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. SysPoint provides information at a glance for the following Alerts:
CSM Buffer Alerts |
There are two types of Buffer Alerts: - Low Availability - High Usage |
Link Alerts |
Total count of Alerts sent during the current time period for channel links found in a Not Ready state for the channel device/link and for exceeding the queue size. |
Port Alerts |
Total count of Alerts sent during the current time period for unavailable ports. |
Session Alerts |
Total count of Alerts sent during the current time period for applications/sessions that have exceeded the threshold values for throughput, data size, and/or hung sessions. |
Crit. Res. Avail. Alerts |
Total count of Alerts sent during the current time period for Critical Resources that were unreachable (Ping command timed out). |
Crit. Res. Perf. Alerts |
Total count of Alerts sent during the current time period for Critical Resources that exceeded the value set for acceptable response time when the device was defined in the Master. |
Current Alerts display in red on the SysPoint screen. Both a Summary and an Alert Detail report are available by clicking in any Alert column and then clicking the type of report you would like to view from the table.
The Summary Alert Report provides current interval data, last occurrence, and since midnight for all Alerts on the SysPoint screen. The Detail report is context-sensitive and provides data from the Alert selected on the SysPoint screen. The Detail data consists of two charts: the left chart displays Alerts regarding the most recent occurrence, the last occurrence, and Alerts that have occurred since midnight; the right chart displays relevant data about the selected Alert.
