Active threshold monitor role

To evaluate the thresholds of each particular rule the internal performance monitoring process retrieves the latest metric values. The query is done by a node designated as the pmcollector. If the environment has multiple pmcollectors, then the system designates one pmcollector to address the performance monitoring queries. This pmcollector node is assigned the ACTIVE THRESHOLD MONITOR role. All other pmcollector nodes are assigned the STANDBY role.

The ACTIVE THRESHOLD MONITOR role of the node is also used to assign the metric evaluation status for the rules including aggregated results over multiple entities or having a cluster-wide metric in the rule definition.

In case the ACTIVE THRESHOLD MONITOR node has lost connection or is unresponsive, one of the STANDBY pmcollector nodes take over the responsibilities of the ACTIVE THRESHOLD MONITOR. In such cases, the status report for the cluster-wide threshold rules is redirected to the new ACTIVE THRESHOLD MONITOR.

You can use the mmhealth thresholds list command to identify which of the pmcollector nodes is designated the ACTIVE THRESHOLD MONITOR role at the current time.

The following output demonstrates the pmcollector node that is designated the ACTIVE THRESHOLD MONITOR role in real time.
