IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3

Disk attributes

The Disk attributes refer to disk characteristics such as inode size, inodes used, mount point, and space available. Only mounted file systems are monitored by this agent.

Disk Free (MB) The amount of free space on a disk, expressed in megabytes. Note: the value -1 indicates Not Available, the value -2 indicates Not Collected, and the value 9223372036854775807 indicates Value_Exceeds_Maximum.

Disk Free Percent The amount of free space on a disk, expressed as a percentage. Note: the value -1 indicates Not Available and the value -2 indicates Not Collected.

Disk Name The name of the physical disk partition where the file system is mounted. This is the physical location of the disk. The following values are valid: alphanumeric text strings with a maximum length of 32 characters.

Disk Used (MB) The amount of used space on a disk, expressed in megabytes. Note: the value -1 indicates Not Available, the value -2 indicates Not Collected, and the value 9223372036854775807 indicates Value_Exceeds_Maximum.

Disk Used Percent The amount of used space on a disk, expressed as a percentage. Note: the value -1 indicates Not Available and the value -2 indicates Not Collected.

File System Status The availability status of the remote file system (NFS). Note: the value 2 indicates Up, 1 indicates Down, 0 indicates Not Available, and -2 indicates Not Collected.

File System Type The file system type, such as hsfs, nfs, tmpfs, and ufs.

Inodes Free The number of inodes currently available on your file system . Use this attribute to avoid a pending crisis. Corrective action might include freeing up unneeded space or deleting temporary files. If the value for Inodes Free is less than 100, this is a critical condition. Notify your system administrator immediately. Note: the value -1 indicates Not Available, the value -2 indicates Not Collected, and the value 9223372036854775807 indicates Value_Exceeds_Maximum.

Inodes Free Percent The number of inodes currently available on your file system , expressed as a percentage. Note: the value -1 indicates Not Available and the value -2 indicates Not Collected.

Inodes Used The number of inodes currently allocated to files on the file system . This value equals the Total Inodes value minus the Inodes Free value. Note: the value -1 indicates Not Available, the value -2 indicates Not Collected, and the value 9223372036854775807 indicates Value_Exceeds_Maximum.

Inodes Used Percent The percentage of inodes currently allocated to files, calculated by dividing the Inodes Used value by the Total Inodes value. The following values are valid: integers between 0 and 100, such as 85 for 85%. Note: the value -1 indicates Not Available and -2 indicates Not Collected.

Mount Point The path name of the directory to which a file system is mounted. This is the virtual name for the directory. The following values are valid: up to 256 letters or numbers representing a directory path.

Size (MB) The total size of a file system , expressed in megabytes. For example, 1000 represents one gigabyte. The following values are valid: integers of up to 99999999. Note: the value -1 indicates Not Available, the value -2 indicates Not Collected, and the value 9223372036854775807 indicates Value_Exceeds_Maximum.

System Name The managed system name. The form should be hostname:agent_code.

Examples include spark:LZ or deux.raleigh.ibm.com:LZ.

In workspace queries, this attribute should be set equal to the value $NODE$ in order to populate the workspace with data. This attribute is generally not included in situations, unless there is a need to customize the situation for a specific managed system.

Time Stamp The date and time the agent collects information as set on the monitored system.

Total Inodes The number of inodes allocated on a file system . For example, a value of 163817 indicates that the number of inodes allocated is 163,817. Note: the value -1 indicates Not Available, the value -2 indicates Not Collected, and the value 9223372036854775807 indicates Value_Exceeds_Maximum.

Use this attribute when a file system needs additional or fewer inodes assigned to it. Viewing the current number of inodes assigned helps you determine the number of inodes you need to add or subtract to optimize performance in your system.
