3.2.2 Memory monitoring definition examples

The following shows definition examples for the monitoring templates and for items not included in the monitoring templates.

(1) Monitoring template

Memory-related monitoring template alarms

Table 3-18 Memory monitoring template alarms

Monitoring template alarm Record Field Error threshold Warning threshold Description
Available Memory PI Available Mbytes < 3 < 4 When the unused size is below the threshold, physical memory might be insufficient. Find any processes using excess memory, and perform the necessary countermeasures. If there are no process problems, perform the necessary countermeasures, such as increasing memory, as the system environment is exceeding its resources.
Committed Mbytes PI Committed Mbytes >= 2046 >= 1024 If usage of the virtual memory area continues at or above the threshold (the Total Physical Mem Mbytes field in the PI record), physical memory might be insufficient.
Pages/sec PI Pages/sec >= 5 >= 4 If the pages per second continues at or above the threshold, memory might be causing a system bottleneck. However, if the exceeded threshold is temporary, the monitored value might be allowed to reach 20.
Page Faults/sec PI Page Faults/sec >= 5 >= 4 If the rate of page faults continues at or above the threshold, memory might be a bottleneck.

For details about settings for existing alarms, see 6. Monitoring Templates.

Memory-related monitoring template reports

Table 3-19 Memory monitoring template reports

Report name Displayed information
Memory Available Trend (Multi-Agent) The daily amount of available physical memory for multiple systems for the last month
Memory Paging The number of times paging occurred on a minute-by-minute basis for the last hour
Memory Paging Status (Multi-Agent) An hourly summary of memory page faults that occurred on multiple agents for the last 24 hours
OS Memory Usage Status (real-time report indicating memory usage) Usage status of physical memory
OS Memory Usage Status (historical report indicating memory usage) An hourly summary of the physical memory usage status for the last 24 hours
System Memory Detail Details of system physical memory on a minute-by-minute basis for the last hour

System-related monitoring template reports (for memory)

Table 3-20 System monitoring template reports

Report name Displayed information
File System I/O Summary A summary of the number of I/O operations on a minute-by-minute basis for the last hour
Process Trend The number of processes executed by the system for the last month (by day)
System Overview (real-time report giving a system overview) A summary of the status of the entire system
System Overview (historical report giving a system overview) A summary of the system status on a minute-by-minute basis for the last hour
Workload Status Data related to the system workload
Workload Status (Multi-Agent) An hourly summary of the workload-related data for multiple systems for the last 24 hours

For details about settings for existing reports, see 6. Monitoring Templates.
