Figure 3-9, Setting Performance Thresholds, shows how to enter the
syntax explained above in threshold monitor templates.
Figure 3-9 Setting Performance Thresholds
The performance component constantly collects all platform-generic
and typical metrics. The collection interval is by default five (5)
minutes and cannot be changed. The data is kept in the data store for
up to five (5) weeks. When the database is full after five (5) weeks of
data have been collected, the oldest data is rolled out one week at a
time and deleted.
See the VPO Administrator’s Reference Volume I for more information
about troubleshooting the embedded performance component.
❏ External Monitoring
This type of monitoring is similar to the previous method, but it
differs in that VPO does not invoke the user’s monitor scripts or
programs. This means that monitoring is done externally and the
VPO monitor agent only checks the values of an externally monitored
object against the defined threshold value. The monitor agent checks
whether value pairs (for example, object name=<value>) have been
received for comparison at least every 15 seconds.
