Memory-related monitoring template alarms

Memory-related alarms in the monitoring template are stored in the alarm table for PFM UNIX Template Alarms [MEM] 09.00.

Table 3-10 Memory monitoring template alarms

Monitoring template alarm	Record	Field	Error threshold	Warning threshold	Description
Pagescans	PI	Page Scans/sec	> 150	> 100	If the number of page scans that occurred is greater than the threshold, memory might be insufficient.
Swap Outs	PI	Swapped-Out Pages/sec	> 200	> 100	If the number of pages is greater than the threshold, memory might be insufficient.
Alloc Mem Mbytes	PI	Alloc Swap Mbytes	>= 1800	>= 1024	If the amount of used memory continues to be at or above the threshold (the Total Physical Mem Mbytes field value of the PI record), physical memory might be insufficient.

For details about the settings for the existing alarms, see 7. Monitoring Templates.
