IV98238: TBSM AGENT VALUES DEFINED COUNTER INSTEAD OF GAUGE SO S&P NOT WORKING AS EXPECTED.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The TBSM Agent has some data items which are defined as
  asCounters (values that keep increasing) rather than asGauge
  values that go up and down, so the summarised values produced
  by the Summarization and Pruning Agent are not as expected.

  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         *
  * KPIValue and KPIPrev are categorized as counter instead of   *
  * gauge. The summarized values of these are not helpful and    *
  * the S&P Agent should be producing SUM_KPIValue,              *
  * MIN_KPIValue, MAX_KPIValue and AVG_KPIValue values, which    *
  * would be more meaningful.                                    *

  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  Counters are summarized one way, Gauges are summarized the other
  way. This is because the natural summarization for things that
  are ever
  increasing (counters) and things that go up and down (gauges) is
  different.
