Editing thresholds

Objective

To edit or define thresholds for a resource model.

Background information

For each resource model, you can define one or more thresholds. Usually, the numeric value you enter in this window represents a limit above or below which you do not want your resource to perform. The default values that you define here can be modified later when this resource model is included in a profile on the IBM Tivoli Monitoring server.

Before you begin

None

When you finish

Check the Tasks view to verify that you do not have any errors in your resource model. If the Tasks view displays errors, correct the errors before running the resource model. The Tasks view displays in the bottom pane of the IBM Tivoli Monitoring Resource Model Builder.

Procedure

  1. Open the resource model.
  2. Select the Thresholds page.
  3. Select the threshold to edit or click Add Threshold to add a new threshold.

    Additional Information: Complete the following theshold options:

    Internal name
    The internal name used by the VisitTree function to determine if a property has exceeded a threshold value. This name must be alphanumeric, start with an alphabetic character, and contain no blank spaces.
    Descriptive name
    The name that is used in IBM Tivoli Monitoring windows.
    Default Value
    The numeric value associated with this threshold by default. This value can be changed by the operator from the IBM Tivoli Monitoring windows.
    Description
    The description of this threshold as it displays on the IBM Tivoli Monitoring windows. This description should include the descriptive name of the event with which this threshold is associated, the names of the attributes being monitored, and a relational comparison of the threshold to the attribute.

    For example, when the counter, PrcUsrTime, exceeds this threshold, the event, Ev_w2k_Thread_PrcUsrTime_too_high, generates.

  4. (Optional) Click Remove to remove a threshold.
  5. Save the changes, or go to another page to continue making changes.
