IBM Tivoli Monitoring: Linux OS Agent offers a set of predefined situations that address some of the most common Linux exception conditions. You can use these situations to begin monitoring almost immediately, or as templates for creating your own situations. All of the predefined situations are enabled when shipped.
IBM Tivoli Monitoring: Linux OS Agent includes the following predefined situations.
ThrashingLinux_Fragmented_File_System monitors the percentage of i-nodes to disk space. An exception condition occurs when the percentage of i-nodes to disk space used is high, which could indicate high disk fragmentation on the disk.
Linux_High_CPU_Overload monitors the percentage of time the processor is busy. An exception condition occurs when the percentage is extremely high.
Linux_High_CPU_System monitors the percentage of processor time that is used for system calls to check for runaway processes. An exception condition occurs when the percentage is high.
Linux_High_Packet_Collisions monitors the percentage of packet collisions during data transmission. An exception condition occurs when the percentage is high.
Linux_High_RPC_Retransmit monitors the percentage of retransmits due to RPC Server calls. An exception condition occurs when the percentage is extremely high.
Linux_High_Zombies monitors the number of processes in zombie state. An exception condition occurs when the number is high.
Linux_Low_Pct_Inodes monitors the percentage of available i-nodes. An exception condition occurs when the number is low.
Linux_Low_percent_space monitors the percentage of space available on a file system. An exception condition occurs when the percentage is low.
Linux_Low_Space_Available monitors the available space on a file system. An exception condition occurs when the amount of space is low.
Linux_Network_Status monitors whether the Network Interface Card is up or not. An exception condition occurs when the network interface card is not up.
Linux_NFS_Buffer_High monitors the number of RPC retransmissions with no duplicate acknowledgements. An exception condition occurs when the number of retransmissions is high.
Linux_NFS_Getattr_High monitors the percentage of NFS server calls to read client attributes. An exception condition occurs when the percentage is high.
Linux_NFS_rdlink_high monitors the percentage of NFS server calls for read link operations. An exception condition occurs when the percentage is high.
Linux_NFS_Read_High monitors the percentage of NFS server calls for read operations. An exception condition occurs when the percentage is high.
Linux_NFS_Writes_High monitors the percentage of NFS server calls for write operations. An exception condition occurs when the percentage is high.
Linux_Packets_Error monitors the percentage of network packets in error. An exception condition occurs when the percentage is high.
Linux_Process_High_Cpu monitors the percentage of processor time used by a process. An exception condition occurs when the percentage is high.
Linux_Process_stopped monitors the number of stopped processes on the system. An exception condition occurs when the number is high.
Linux_RPC_Bad_Calls monitors the percentage of rejected RPC server or client calls. An exception condition occurs when the percentage is high.
Linux_System_Thrashing monitors the swap space paging activity on the system. An exception condition occurs when the activity is extremely high.
