Alarm Manager attributes
The attributes provide information for alarm management.
The Alarm Manager attributes provide information for the alarm management. Use these attributes to manage alarms fired by the application for each work manager.
The attributes within this group are used to build the Alarm Manager workspace.
- The attributes within this attribute group contain zeros for performance data if your site has set configuration value Resource Data Collection Method to On Demand (for on-demand sampling) and if you have not yet run applications that generate performance data. To report performance data in these attributes after installing and configuring the data collector, use the WebSphere® administrative console to set the appropriate PMI instrumentation level.
- Themonitoring agent is set by default to provide on-demand sampling; thus the attributes within this attribute group initially contain zeros until you select the workspace and then select it again later. Each time you select the workspace, these attributes are updated with the latest data.
Alarms Canceled The number of alarms canceled by the application. The valid format is a positive integer.
Alarms Created The total number of alarms created by all asynchronous scopes for the current Work Manager. The valid format is a positive integer.
Alarms Fired The number of alarms fired. The valid format is a decimal (formatted to three decimal places).
Alarms Latency Duration The latency of alarms fired in milliseconds. The valid format is a decimal (formatted to three decimal places). This value is an average of several values collected over an interval. The interval can be either between this time and the previous time you activated this workspace, or fixed (normally 60 seconds), depending on the configuration of the monitoring agent.
Alarms Pending Size The number of alarms waiting to fire. The valid format is a decimal (formatted to three decimal places). This value is an average of several values collected over an interval. The interval can be either between this time and the previous time you activated this workspace, or fixed (normally 60 seconds), depending on the configuration of the monitoring agent.
Alarms Rate The number of alarms firing per second. The valid format is a decimal (formatted to three decimal places). This value is an average of several values collected over an interval. The interval can be either between this time and the previous time you activated this workspace, or fixed (normally 60 seconds), depending on the configuration of the monitoring agent.
Instrumentation Level For WebSphere Version 6 or later, the valid values are None, Basic, Extended, All, Custom. Blank if no instrumentation level is set.
Interval (sec) The length (in seconds) of the sampling interval. The valid format is a positive integer.
Node Name The name of the system on which the server is running. The value format is an alphanumeric string, with a maximum of 256 characters.
Origin Node The name of the server subnode. The valid format is an alphanumeric string, with a maximum of 128 characters.
Row Number The row number. The valid format is a positive integer.
Sample Date and Time The date and time the monitoring agent collected the data. The valid format is a 12-character timestamp. For the STR and SCAN functions, the format is MM/DD/YY HH:MM:SS; the following table shows the values contained in this character string.
| Character String | Meaning |
|---|---|
| MM | Month |
| DD | Day |
| YY | Year |
| HH | Hour |
| MM | Minute |
| SS | Second |
Example: 09/13/06 18:32:03 indicates the data was collected on September 13 2006, at 18:32:03.
This attribute was designed for logging and reporting data-collection times rather than for creating situations. To specify a time and date for comparison and testing, use attributes from the Universal Time or Local Time groups.
Server Name The name of the application server. The valid format is an alphanumeric string, with a maximum of 256 characters.
Summary Whether this row is a summary row of statistical totals for all rows. Valid values are No and Yes.
Work Manager Name The name of the work manager. The value format is an alphanumeric string, with a maximum of 256 characters.
