Use Objects attributes to create situations that monitor the number of events, mutexes, processes, sections, semaphores, and threads. Objects is a multiple-instance attribute group. You cannot mix these attributes with those of any other multiple-instance group.
Events The number of events on a system at the time of monitoring. Note that an event is any system or user action that causes notification or a log entry. 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 for the number of current events, enter 15.
Mutexes The number of mutexes on a system at the time of monitoring. This is an instantaneous count, not an average. The system uses mutexes to assure that only one section of code is executing per thread. 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 23 for the number of mutexes at sampling time, enter 23.
Processes The number of active processes on a system at the time of monitoring. This is an instantaneous count, not an average. A process is a running program. 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 28 for the number of active processes running at sampling time, enter 28.
Sections The number of sections on a system at the time of monitoring. A process creates sections in memory to store data. 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 for the number of sections on a system at sampling time, enter 12.
Semaphores The number of semaphores on a system at the time of monitoring. Semaphores allow threads access to data structures that they share with other threads. 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 43 for the number of semaphores on a system at sampling time, enter 43.
Server Name The name of the managed system. Valid format is a text string of up to 64 characters.
Threads The number of threads on a system at the time of monitoring. Valid values are positive integers in the range 0 to 9999 and can include the use of the *AVG, *MIN, *MAX, or *SUM functions. For example, to express 45 for the number of threads at sampling time, enter 45.
Timestamp The date and time the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server samples the data. Standard 16-character date/time format (CYYMMDDHHMMSSmmm), where:
C |
Century (0 for 20th, 1 for 21st) |
YY |
Year |
MM |
Month |
DD |
Day |
HH |
Hour |
MM |
Minute |
SS |
Second |
mmm |
Millisecond |
Use simple text strings as described above. For example, enter 0971009130500000 to express October 9, 1997, 1:05:00 pm.
