yesterday, this week, this month, and this year. If you select the time period Last 1 hour,

Last 6 hours, or Today, the memory usage ratio of the AIX system is measured in unit of a

polling interval; if you select the time period Yesterday, This week, or This month, the

memory usage ratio of the AIX system is measured in hours, and the diagram displays the

memory usage ratio trend, and the maximum, minimize, and average memory usage ratio of

the AIX system; if you select the time period This year, the memory usage ratio of the AIX

system is measured in days, and the diagram displays the memory usage ratio trend, and the

maximum, minimize, and average memory usage ratio of the AIX system. Move the pointer

over the each sampling point to view the memory usage ratio of the AIX system for the time

being.

Ping test

At the beginning of a host polling, APM starts a Ping test for the host that the AIX resides. During a Ping

test, APM sends ICMP packets to the host, and receives the response from the host. Once receiving a

response, which means that the Ping test is successful, APM records the time when receiving the

response. Otherwise, APM will try up to three times to Ping test the host.

The Ping Test pane is shown in Figure 40.

Figure 40 Ping test

This pane contains the following information:

• Curve graph of Ping test—Displays the result trend of the Ping tests in the past one hour by

default. You can also select a time period to view the result trend in the specified time period. Click

the Last 1 hour icon , the Last 6 hours icon , the Today icon , the Yesterday icon , the

This week icon , the This month icon , or the This year icon to select a time period.

Move the pointer to the curve to view the Ping response time of a specified sampling point.

• Attribute/Value—Displays the monitored indexes and its value. The monitored indexes are:

 Response Time—Indicate the response time of the latest Ping test.

 Packets Sent—Indicate the number of ICMP packets that are sent by APM in the last Ping

test. During a Ping test, APM can send up to three ICMP packets to the host.

 Packets Received—Indicate the number of ICMP response that are received by APM

during a Ping test. The number of the received response can be 0 or 1.
