Select the Situations option of
the Agent Service Interface to see the status and statistics of each
situation, including private situations and situations distributed
to any subnodes, for the monitoring agent.
The Situations report gives some vital statistics about each
situation on the agent. The setting of the agent environment variable
IRA_EVENT_EXPORT_SIT_STATS determines the level of detail given.
- Situation name
- Above each situation summary page is the name of the situation.
If this is a private situation, the name will be appended with _pr.
- TYPE
- Sampled or Pure. A situation is sampled if it samples data at
regular intervals. Pure events are unsolicited notifications. The Windows Event Log and Windows File Change attribute
are examples of attribute groups that report pure events.
- INTERVAL
- The interval between data samples, in seconds. If situations for
this attribute group trigger pure events, there is no sampling interval
and the value shows as 0.
- ROWSIZE
- This is the row size.
- FIRSTSTARTTIME
- This is the day of the week, calendar day, and time when the situation
is initially started after the agent starts.
- LASTSTARTTIME
- This is the day of the week, calendar day, and time when the situation
was most recently started.
- LASTSTOPTIME
- This is the day of the week, calendar day, and time when the situation
was most recently stopped.
- FIRSTEVENTTIME
- This is the day of the week, calendar day, and time of the first
occurrence that the situation became true and opened an event since
the situation was started.
- LASTTRUETIME
- This is the day of the week, calendar day, and time when the situation
most recently became true and opened an event.
- LASTFALSETIME
- This is the day of the week, calendar day, and time when the situation
state evaluated to false after an earlier sampling evaluated to true.
- TIMESRECYCLED
- This is the number of times the situation was stopped and started
since the agent has been online.
- TIMESAUTONOMOUS
- This is the number times since startup that the situation entered
autonomous state because the enterprise monitoring agent was disconnected
from its monitoring server, followed by the DAY statistics:
- DAY
- DATE that the most recent statistical data was collected.
If this is an enterprise situation, this is since the agent was most
recently connected.
- TRUESAMPLES is the number of times the situation evaluated
to true while the agent was disconnected from the monitoring server.
- FALSESAMPLES is the number of times the situation evaluated
to false after a prior true while the agent was disconnected from
the monitoring server.
- TRUERATIO is the percentage of the number of times the
situation evaluates to true compared with the false state.
- FALSERATIO is the percentage of the number of times the
situation evaluates to false compared with the true state.
- HOURROWS is the number of rows of data that have been
reported.
- HOURTRUE is the number of hours that the situation remained
true while the agent was disconnected from the monitoring server.
- HOURFALSE is the number of hours that the situation remained
false while the agent was disconnected from the monitoring server.
All situations are shown for an agent, including the
subnodes. In this sample TestLab agent with subnodes called ComputerA
and ComputerB, ten situations would be listed:
- TestLab
- SubNodeA (4 unique situations, plus 2 situations that
are also on SubNodeB)
- SubNodeB (4 unique situations, plus 2 situations that
are also on SubNodeA)
