The Alert Details tables vary by Alert type. The left portion of the screen provides hyperlinks to data per reporting interval for the selected Alert. Reporting intervals are Current, Last, and Since Midnight. The right portion of the screen provides detailed information about the Alerts that have been generated during the selected interval.
Alerts are generated when a value set for a particular network element is exceeded. Notification of the “error condition” may be sent directly to the Operator’s Console. The values are set on the Host for all thresholds except Availability and Performance. Each data element and its threshold are listed below.
Data |
Threshold |
CSM Buffer Pool |
No Defaults. Set thresholds for the following Alerts: - ECSA threshold: Maximum KB of ECSA buffer space to be used. - DSP threshold: Maximum KB of DSP buffer space to be used - % Free threshold: Minimum percent free for any CSM buffer area. Parameter set by CSMALERT in CONFxx member. |

No defaults. Set three thresholds for each application: - Throughput threshold: Minimum bytes/second that the application must perform. - Size threshold: Maximum data size in bytes that the application is allowed to transfer. - Application Hung: No threshold. If no activity between two samples, the application is considered hung and an Alert is sent. Specified in the APPLMON statement. |
