Monitoring template alarms	Record	Field	Error threshold	Warning threshold	Description
I/O Wait Time	PI	Wait %	> 80	> 60	If the percentage of time during which the processor is waiting for I/O is greater than the threshold, I/O operations, such as updating a database, might be delayed.
Disk Service Time	PI_DEVD	Avg Service Time	> 0.1	> 0.06	If the average operating time is greater than the threshold, the amount of information being input or output might be very large.
File System Free(L)	PD_FSL	File System	<> dummy	<> dummy	If there is little unused area, disk space is insufficient.
		Mbytes Free	< 5120	< 10240
File System Free(R)	PD_FSR	File System	<> dummy	<> dummy	If there is little unused area, disk space is insufficient.
		Mbytes Free	< 5120	< 10240
Disk Busy %	PI_DEVD	Device Name	<> dummy	<> dummy	If the disk busy rate continues to be at or above the threshold, I/O operations might be concentrated on a specific disk.
		Busy %	>= 90	>= 80
Disk Queue	PI_DEVD	Device Name	<> dummy	<> dummy	If the queue length continues to be at or above the threshold, the device is congested.
