File Trend Attributes

Use File Trend attributes to monitor the growth rate in file space usage, by both change and absolute size change, over various monitoring periods. File Trend is a multiple-instance attribute group. You cannot mix these attributes with those of any other multiple-instance group.

When creating situations using the File Trend attribute group you must supply values for the following attributes to restrict the monitoring for the situation.

Situations must contain only one row of filter data in the situations formula. If more than one row is provided the results are undefined.


Attributes The file attributes. Valid values are positive integers in the range 0 to 2147483647 and can include the use of the *AVG, *MIN, *MAX, or *SUM functions. For example, to express 25 file attributes, enter 25.

% Change Average The percentage of change for the average sample. Valid format is a numeric string in the range 0 to 100 (expressing a percentage). For example, to express 17 percent, enter 17.

% Change LastHour The percentage rate of growth over the last hour. Valid format is a numeric string in the range 0 to 100 (expressing a percentage). For example, to express 23 percent, enter 23.

% Change Last Interval The percentage rate of growth over the last interval. Valid format is a numeric string in the range 0 to 100 (expressing a percentage). For example, to express 14 percent, enter 14.

% Change Total The percentage rate of growth change since monitoring began. Valid format is a numeric string in the range 0 to 100 (expressing a percentage). For example, to express 12 percent, enter 12.

Current Size The current size of the file. Valid values are positive integers in the range 0 to 2147483647 and can include the use of the *AVG, *MIN, *MAX, or *SUM functions. For example, to express 1358 as the size of the file, enter 1358.

Date Created (V200) The date the file was created. Valid format is a text string of up to 16 characters. For example, to express August 6, 1997, enter 08/06/97.

Date Last Modified (V200) The date the file was last modified. Valid format is a text string of up to 16 characters. For example, enter 13:05:30 to express 1:05pm and 30 seconds.

Date Time Created The date and time the file was created. Standard 16-character date/time format (CYYMMDDHHMMSSmmm), where:

C

Use simple text strings as described above. For example, enter 0971009130500000 to express October 9, 1997, 1:05:00 pm.

Date Time Last Modified The date and time the file was last modified. Standard 16-character date/time format (CYYMMDDHHMMSSmmm), where:

Free Space Exhausted Hours The time until current free space on the volume is exhausted based on the size change rate over the last hour. If there is no size change detected over the last hour then the Free Space Exhausted Hours value will be zero(0). Standard 16-character date/time format (CYYMMDDHHMMSSmmm), where:

C

Century (0 for 20th, 1 for 21st)

For example, to express October 9, 1997, 1:05:00pm, enter 0971009130500000.

Sampling Interval The time between successive samples. Valid values are positive integers in the range 0 to 2147483647 and can include the use of the *AVG, *MIN, *MAX, or *SUM functions. For example, to express 15 minutes between successive samples, enter 15.

Sampling Number The number of intervals that are sampled to get an average. Valid values are positive integers in the range 2 to 2147483647 and can include the use of the *AVG, *MIN, *MAX, or *SUM functions. For example, to express 12 sampling intervals, enter 12.

Server Name The name of the managed system. Valid format is a text string of up to 64 characters.

Size Change Average The average absolute file size change. Valid values are positive integers in the range 0 to 2147483647 and can include the use of the *AVG, *MIN, *MAX, or *SUM functions. For example, to express 11,234 bytes in average absolute file size change, enter 11234.

Size Change LastHour The average absolute file size change over the last hour. Valid values are positive integers in the range 0 to 2147483647 and can include the use of the *AVG, *MIN, *MAX, or *SUM functions. For example, to express 12,543 bytes in the file size change over the last hour, enter 12543.

Size Change Last Interval The average absolute file size change over the last interval. Valid values are positive integers in the range 0 to 2147483647 and can include the use of the *AVG, *MIN, *MAX, or *SUM functions. For example, to express 22,693 bytes in the file size change over the last interval, enter 22693.

Size Change Total The percentage rate of growth since monitoring began. Valid format is a numeric string in the range 0 to 100 (expressing a percentage). For example, to express 22 percentage rate of growth since monitoring began, enter 22.

Time Created (V200) The time the file was created. Valid format is a text string of up to 16 characters. For example, to express 2:05pm and 30 seconds, enter 14:05:30.
