4.5.7 Threshold verification window

The Threshold verification window sets information necessary to verify threshold values from the collected data. The following figure shows the Threshold verification window.

Figure 4‒58: Threshold verification window

[Figure]

The items to be set are:

Verification condition tab

Select this tab to set conditions for verifying threshold verification methods. For descriptions about display items when the Verification condition tab is selected, see 4.5.7(1) Verification condition tab.

Collection Data tab

Select this tab to set conditions of data for threshold verification. For descriptions about display items when the Collection Data tab is selected, see 4.5.7(2) Collection Data tab.

Verification time zone tab

Select this tab to set the time zone for threshold verification. For descriptions about display items when the Verification time zone tab is selected, see 4.5.7(3) Verification time zone tab.

Statistic calculation parameter tab

Select this tab to set the time at which a statistical threshold is to be calculated. For descriptions about items displayed when the Statistic calculation parameter tab is selected, see 4.5.7(4) Statistic calculation parameter tab.

Threshold verification

This button displays the Threshold verification result window.

You can click this button when you specify the instance name and the subresource to be verified.

For details on the Threshold verification result window, see 4.3.16 Threshold verification result window.

Organization of this subsection

(1) Verification condition tab

Figure 4‒59: Threshold verification window (Verification condition tab)

[Figure]

The items to be set are:

Selected Instance

Displays the name of the instance for the collected data.

Select the name of the instance of which the threshold you want to verify.

Subresource List

This list is displayed when you select an instance name in Selected instance.

Select the subresource name of which the threshold you want to verify.

Threshold verification

Select this check box to specify the threshold type and verification conditions.

By selecting the subresource name in Subresource List, and then this check box, you can specify the threshold type, threshold value, data ratio, and the consecutive number of times that a threshold is exceeded. In addition, when you select this check box, the Verification column in Subresource List changes from NO to YES.

By default, this check box is not selected.

Type of threshold

Select the type of threshold verification. The default is Fixed threshold.

Fixed threshold

Verifies thresholds by using the fixed threshold method.

When you select this method, the Threshold and Continuous over counter columns are displayed.

For the Threshold columns, specify the warning threshold and the critical threshold.

You can specify 0 or any floating decimal point between ±1.00 x 10-2 and ±1.7976931348623157 x 10308. If the value in the mantissa exceeds 1.7976931348623157, it is rounded.

For the Continuous over counter columns, set the number of times that collected data must consecutively exceed the threshold before SSO changes the resource status. You can specify a value from 1 to 99.

If you set the same value for the warning threshold and the critical threshold, the warning region is eliminated. Therefore, in such a case, you can specify only one value.

Statistical threshold

Verifies the threshold by using the statistical threshold.

When you select this method, the Ratio of data and Continuous over counter columns are displayed.

For Ratio of data, specify the data ratio in the warning region and the critical region of the threshold. You can specify a value from 0.01 to 99.99.

For Continuous over counter, set the number of times that collected data must consecutively exceed the threshold before SSO changes the resource status. You can specify a value from 1 to 99.

If you set the same value for the warning threshold and the critical threshold, the warning region is eliminated. Therefore, in such a case, you can specify only one value.

(2) Collection Data tab

Figure 4‒60: Threshold verification window (Collection Data tab)

[Figure]

The items to be set are:

Name of collection data DB

Displays the name of the database in which data that has the thresholds to be verified is collected.

DB selection

This button displays the DB selection window. For details on the DB selection window, see 4.3.13 DB selection window.

Collection Period List

This box displays the collection period of the data in the selected database. If only the collection start date is displayed, it means that the data is currently being collected. You can select multiple lines as long as they are adjacent.

Time Period Setup

Select this check box to narrow down the collection period of the data to be verified.

When you select this check box, you can specify a specific period based on the range within the collection period.

Date

Specify a range between January 1, 1980 and December 31, 2099 in the yyyy/mm/dd format. You can specify a range if you selected Time Period Setup.

Time

Specify a range between 00:00:00 and 23:59:59 in the 00:00:00 format. You can specify the range if you selected Time Period Setup.

(3) Verification time zone tab

Figure 4‒61: Threshold verification window (Verification time zone tab)

[Figure]

The items to be set are:

Check box for specifying a time period

Specify whether to activate the specified verification period. Only the time zone for the selected line is activated. By default, no time zone is specified.

Start Time

Specify the time to start verification in the range from 00:00:00 to 23:59:59.

Stop Time

Specify the time to stop verification in the range from 00:00:00 to 23:59:59. Specify a time after the start time.

(4) Statistic calculation parameter tab

Figure 4‒62: Threshold verification window (Statistic calculation parameter tab)

[Figure]

The items to be set are:

Statistical total time

Specify 24 to 720 hours as the period for extracting data that is needed for calculating a statistical threshold. The default is 96 hours.

Calculation timing
Interval

Select this radio button to specify the interval for calculating a threshold. The specifiable range is 15 minutes to 24 hours. By default, an interval of 1 hour is set.

Time

Select this radio button to specify the time at which a threshold is to be calculated. By default, the time is not set.

Del

Deletes the time selected from the calculation timing list.

Calculation time

You can specify the calculation period between 00:00 and 23:59.

Add

Adds the time you specified to the calculation timing list.

(5) Note

When verifying a threshold value by using the GUI, a work space which is as large as the collection database you specified as the verification target is required under $SSO_VAR.
