32 Monitoring Agent for Unix OS Reference

Chapter 3. Eventing thresholds
Eventing thresholds test for certain conditions on your managed systems, such as memory usage over
95%, and raise an event when the conditions have been met.

The Monitoring Agent for Unix OS comes with predefined eventing thresholds that you can use to
monitor your Unix OS environment.

Customized eventing thresholds
You can use the predefined eventing thresholds as a starting point for event monitoring, and create your
own eventing thresholds as conditions arise that you want to monitor. Hover your mouse over a help
icon to get user assistance for the field. Click the help tool to open the help system for the Threshold
Manager help topic.

The BegiN_PAC_SHORT_NAME_EnD has many data sets that you can use to create eventing thresholds
to monitor for specific conditions.

Tip: If you are an IBM® Tivoli® Monitoring user, data sets are equivalent to attribute groups.

Chapter 3. Eventing thresholds 37

38 Monitoring Agent for Unix OS Reference
Chapter 4. Attributes
Attributes are the application properties that are being measured and reported by the Monitoring Agent
for Unix OS. Attributes make up the key performance indicators (KPIs) that are reported, and you can
use them to create thresholds for conditions that you want to monitor.

About attributes

Attributes are organized into data sets (also referred to as attribute groups). The values can be selectively
displayed in dashboards or used to define a threshold.

When you view dashboards and use thresholds, data samples of the attributes in the data set are taken.
Dashboards
Attributes are displayed in the dashboards. The widgets specify which attribute values to request
from a monitoring agent.
You can edit the Components group widgets that display in the Application Performance
Dashboard to control how the group widgets are displayed, their positioning, and to adjust the
summary thresholds. After you select a defined application, select the group that is named
Components, and click Actions > Edit to open the editor.
The Attribute Details tab is displayed after you select an instance from the navigator Instances
section (renamed to the selected subgroup name). Alternatively, you can click inside a summary
group widget in the group or subgroup dashboard page. Use the tools in the Attribute Details tab
to create custom charts and tables with data samples from the available data sets.
Thresholds
You can define thresholds that monitor the state of your operating system, database, or
application and open an event when the threshold is exceeded. You use attributes to define
thresholds that describe a condition that you want to test. After the threshold is started, the
values that are specified in the threshold definition are compared with the values that are
collected by the BegiN_PAC_SHORT_NAME_EnD. After the condition is met, an event is
registered and you are alerted by indicator icons in the Application Performance Dashboard
navigator and the Events tab.
The BegiN_PAC_SHORT_NAME_EnD comes with predefined thresholds that are enabled and
started with the agent. If you edit a predefined threshold definition, such as to change a
condition or severity, it is no longer treated as a predefined threshold but considered a custom
threshold.
When the sampled values for the attributes that are referenced in a threshold meet the condition
(such as attribute A is greater than 80%), an event is opened. Note the following conditions:
v When no data can be collected for a data set, an empty result is returned (no rows of data)
v When a specific attribute cannot be collected, the value 0 or “” is returned unless otherwise
specified in a particular attribute (for example, “N/A”)
v Any numeric attribute value that is greater than the largest (positive or negative) number that
can be represented by that type returns the corresponding maximum or minimum value. For
example, the maximum value for a 32-bit number is 2,147,483,647.
These values are displayed as text values that are defined by the data set, such as “Value Exceeds
Maximum” or “Value Exceeds Minimum”.

Attribute descriptions
Attributes in each BegiN_PAC_SHORT_NAME_EnD data set collect data that the agent uses for
monitoring.

The descriptions of the data sets contain information such as description, type, and names for each
attribute in the data set. Some attributes are designated as key attributes. A key attribute is an identifier
attribute for the data set.

Agent Active Runtime Status data set

Use the Agent Active Runtime Status data set to monitor the current availability status of an agent:
Running, Not present, Unknown, Stopped, Manually Stopped. You can view the frequency at which the
agent's availability and runtime properties are queried and also the agent's Daily Restart Count.

This data set contains the following attributes:

Agent Availability Status attribute
The watched agent availability status. For agents that have an Availability Status of 'Running', use
the attribute group to see runtime properties of the agent such as its Process ID and Thread

Accessibility features
Accessibility features assist users who have a disability, such as restricted mobility or limited vision, to
use information technology content successfully.

Accessibility features

The web-based interface of IBM Cloud Application Performance Management is the Cloud APM console.
The console includes the following major accessibility features:
v Enables users to use assistive technologies, such as screen-reader software and digital speech
synthesizer, to hear what is displayed on the screen.1 Consult the product documentation of the
assistive technology for details on using those technologies with this product.
v Enables users to operate specific or equivalent features using only the keyboard.
v Communicates all information independently of color.2

The Cloud APM console uses the latest W3C Standard, WAI-ARIA 1.0 (http://www.w3.org/TR/wai-
aria/), to ensure compliance with US Section 508 (http://www.access-board.gov/guidelines-and-
standards/communications-and-it/about-the-section-508-standards/section-508-standards), and Web
Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 (http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20/). To take advantage of
accessibility features, use the latest release of your screen reader in combination with the latest web
browser that is supported by this product.

The Cloud APM console online product documentation in IBM Knowledge Center is enabled for
accessibility. The accessibility features of IBM Knowledge Center are described at http://www.ibm.com/
support/knowledgecenter/doc/kc_help.html#accessibility.

Keyboard navigation

This product uses standard navigation keys.

Interface information

The Cloud APM console web user interface does not rely on cascading style sheets to render content
properly and to provide a usable experience. However, the product documentation does rely on
cascading style sheets. IBM Knowledge Center provides an equivalent way for low-vision users to use
their custom display settings, including high-contrast mode. You can control font size by using the device
or browser settings.

The Cloud APM console web user interface includes WAI-ARIA navigational landmarks that you can use
to quickly navigate to functional areas in the application.

The Cloud APM console user interface does not have content that flashes 2 - 55 times per second.
