Effective thresholds

You can use IBM® Tivoli® Monitoring to administer thresholds effectively and reduce demand on system resources.

IBM Tivoli Monitoring centralizes the administration of thresholds. Smaller staffs can manage larger numbers of systems. Availability threats can be monitored more frequently than less critical events, such as performance events. Instead of defining a refresh or sampling interval for a subsystem, you can define the interval for the threshold. This facility, if used with caution, provides you with an opportunity to lower demand on system resources and provide more availability protection. In addition, OMEGAMON® for Storage interface uses a single collector to provide raw data exceptions to multiple users. In enterprises where many people monitor the same subsystems, huge gains can be obtained.
