Memory status monitoring

Memory status monitoring is the process by which the self-monitoring service checks the available Java™ and system memory and sends events to the Netcool/OMNIbus ObjectServer regarding the memory status at intervals.

Netcool®/Impact monitors available memory in both the Java heap and in the system as a whole. The memory status is significant because Netcool/Impact fails and reports an out-of-memory error if the Java virtual machine (JVM) is not allocated the required memory or the memory usage of the Impact server exceeds the maximum JVM Heap Size.
