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.
- Organization of this subsection
(1) Monitoring template
(a) Memory-related 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 7. Monitoring Templates.
