HP Systems Insight Manager 5.2 Update 2 Technical Reference Guide

Adjust the status polling rate be configuring the Cluster Monitor's cluster resource settings. See “Configuring
cluster resource settingsfor more information.
System status polling rate
The system polling rate determines how often Cluster Monitor checks node status as reported by the
appropriate HP Insight Management Agent running on the nodes.
System is a node-level attribute. You can adjust the polling rate by configuring Cluster Monitor node resource
settings. The polling rate is a global attribute of the resource, so you can specify only one polling interval
for all nodes in all clusters. The polling fields display on the configuration page only when you select All in
both the Cluster and Node dropdown lists.

Cluster Monitor resource thresholds
Cluster
resources use
thresholds
to trigger HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) events. The Disk resource
sets thresholds for disk capacity, and the CPU resource sets thresholds for CPU utilization.
Disk capacity thresholds
The Disk resource collects disk capacity data. To access the Cluster Monitor - Node Resource Settings
page where the thresholds are set, select OptionsCluster MonitorNode Resource Settings.
The threshold values you enter in the Settings for the Selected Resource section define the Normal,
Minor, and Major ranges for disk utilization on monitored nodes.
For each disk, there are four thresholds in pairs. The Minor and Major thresholds are each associated with
a corresponding reset threshold. Utilization enters the Major range when it equals or exceeds the Major
threshold value and remains in the Major range until it falls to or below the Major reset value. The Minor
and Major reset thresholds behave similarly.
You can specify different thresholds for each disk in each node of a cluster.
See “Configuring node resource settingsfor more information about setting disk thresholds.
CPU utilization thresholds
The CPU resource collects utilization data for the CPUs in a particular cluster. To access the Cluster Monitor
- Node Resource Settings page where the thresholds are set, select OptionsCluster MonitorNode
Resource Settings.
The threshold values you enter in the Settings for the Selected Resource section define the Normal,
Minor, and Major ranges for CPU utilization on the selected node.
For each CPU, there are four thresholds in pairs. The Minor and Major thresholds are each associated with
a corresponding reset threshold. Utilization enters the Major range when it equals or exceeds the Major
threshold value and remains in the Major range until it falls to or below the Major reset value. The Minor
and Major reset thresholds behave similarly.
You can specify different thresholds for each CPU in each node of a cluster.
See “Configuring cluster resource settingsfor more information about CPU thresholds.
