Volume Activity Situations

Use the series of predefined situations associated with the Volume Activity workspace to begin monitoring your system immediately or as templates for creating your own situations.

The names, descriptions, logic, and threshold values for the situations follow.

KDP_VDIO_Critical monitors volume DB2 I/O rate activity. A critical condition is detected when the DB2 I/O rate per second for the volume reaches 50. The situation's formula is:

KDP_Volume_Activity.DB2_IO_Percent GE 50

KDP_VDIO_Warning monitors volume DB2 I/O rate activity. A warning condition is detected when the DB2 I/O rate per second for the volume is in the range of 40 to 50. The situation's formula is:

KDP_Volume_Activity.DB2_IO_Percent GE 40

AND

KDP_Volume_Activity.DB2_IO_Percent LT 50

KDP_VEDR_Critical monitors volume data set extend activity. A critical condition is detected when the number of DB2 extents on the volume divided by the number of DB2 data sets reaches ten. The situation's formula is:

KDP_Volume_Activity.Extents_per_Dataset_Ratio GE 10.0

KDP_VEDR_Warning monitors volume data set extend activity. A warning condition is detected when the number of DB2 extents on the volume divided by the number of DB2 data sets is in the range of eight to ten. The situation's formula is:

KDP_Volume_Activity.Extents_per_Dataset_Ratio GE 8.0

AND

KDP_Volume_Activity.Extents_per_Dataset_Ratio LT 10.0

KDP_VSRV_Critical monitors volume service time. A critical condition is detected when the service time for the volume reaches 25 milliseconds. The situation's formula is:

KDP_Volume_Activity.Volume_Service_Time GE 25.0

KDP_VSRV_Warning monitors volume service time. A warning condition is detected when the service time for the volume is in the range of 20 to 25 milliseconds. The situation's formula is:

KDP_Volume_Activity.Volume_Service_Time GE 20.0

AND

KDP_Volume_Activity.Volume_Service_Time LT 25.0

KDP_VTIO_Critical monitors volume total I/O rate activity. A critical condition is detected when the total number of I/Os per second reaches 60. The situation's formula is:

KDP_Volume_Activity.Volume_Total_IO_Rate GE 60

KDP_VTIO_Warning monitors volume total I/O rate activity. A warning condition is detected when the total number of I/Os per second is in the range of 48 to 60. The situation's formula is:

KDP_Volume_Activity.Volume_Total_IO_Rate GE 48

AND

KDP_Volume_Activity.Volume_Total_IO_Rate LT 60

KDP_VUTL_Critical monitors volume utilization. A critical condition is detected when a volume's utilization reaches 30%. The situation's formula is:

KDP_Volume_Activity.Volume_Utilization GE 30

KDP_VUTL_Warning monitors volume utilization. A warning condition is detected when a volume's utilization is in the range of 24% to 30%. The situation's formula is:

KDP_Volume_Activity.Volume_Utilization GE 24

AND

KDP_Volume_Activity.Volume_Utilization LT 30
