IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2
Expand a generic event message situation description
The message slot gives you a descriptive way of looking at an event in the IBM Tivoli Enterprise Console.
The situation name alone does not provide detailed event identification where there are large numbers of like-events from various sources. Rather, the situation name in the message slot sent from the hub monitoring server to the event server is expanded to include the following event attributes:
Situation-Name [(formula) ON Managed-System-Name ON DISPLAY-ITEM (threshold Name-Value pairs)]
where:
- Situation-Name
- The name of the situation.
- formula
- The formula tells how the situation is evaluated.
- Managed-System-Name
- The agent or the managed system.
- DISPLAY-ITEM
- The identifier that triggered the situation if there is more than one instance. This is optional and is used only if a display item is specified in the situation definition.
- threshold Name-Value pairs
- The raw data that the situation uses to evaluate whether it is triggered.
Examples: NT_Critical_Process [(Process_CPU > 4 AND Thread_Count > 50) ON IBM-AGX02:NT (Process_CPU = 8 AND Thread_Count = 56)] NT_Disk_Full [(Free_Megabytes < 1000000) ON "IBM-AGX02:NT" ON D: (Free_Megabytes = 100)]
