Settings window: Monitors page
This topic describes the Settings window: Monitors page in IBM
Director.
Fields
- Monitor pane
- The monitors listed in bold type are used for the Performance Analysis
functions. The threshold settings for these monitors are essential to the
optimum function of the Performance Analysis. If you change the threshold
settings for these monitors, the effect on Performance Analysis will be unpredictable.
- Threshold Settings
- Thresholds can be set using the same scale in which the monitor is measured.
This scale can be percent, a unit such as a megabyte, or a numerical ratio.
If the scale is percent, then a threshold can be set anywhere between 0 and
100 percent. If the scale is a unit, a threshold should be set somewhere between
0 units and the total units available. If the scale is a ratio, such as packets/sec,
the threshold is a number without any units.
- Critical threshold
- Indicates the percentage you want to implement for the critical threshold
of the selected monitor.
- Warning threshold
- Indicates the percentage you want to implement for the warning threshold
of the selected monitor.
- Show thresholds as percent of maximum value
- If the scale is anything other than percent, that is, a unit or ratio,
the threshold can be set either in that scale or in a percent. Select this
check box if you want the value you enter in the Critical threshold and Warning
threshold fields to represent a percent. This check box can only be enabled
if the selected monitor can have a threshold value alternatively set in either
percent or another scale.
註: If the monitor threshold settings for one system
are different from that of another system, Capacity Manager is not able to
display the thresholds on a graph of both systems.
For example, if you select
the monitor, Drive C:Space remaining and you select
the box labeled Show thresholds as percent of maximum value,
you will not see the critical and warning threshold lines on the graph when
you are viewing multiple systems with different size C drives because the
threshold settings will be different for different systems. However, if you
clear the box labeled Show thresholds as percent of maximum value and
enter absolute threshold values, for example, 200 and 500 for the respective
critical and warning values, then you can see data for more than one systems
on one graph because the thresholds are the same for each system.
- Adjust graph for best viewing
- Adjust range to peak value
- When you select this option, the vertical range of the graph is adjusted
to the height of the tallest peak on the graph. For example, if you are measuring
a percentage and all of your data is less than 25%, selecting this option
will change the display range to 0-30%.
- Monitor information
- This section displays monitor sampling frequency data and whether minimum/maximum
data was requested. Both of these parameters were defined in the report definition
used to generate your current report.
The sampling frequency data indicates
how often monitor data was collected for the report. Click one of the monitors
in the left pane to see the sampling frequency that was defined for that monitor.
- Return to Defaults
- Return the settings for the currently selected monitor to its default
values.
