Event Presentation
The types of information obtainable from Measure are CPU-BUSY and AVERAGE-
CPU-BUSY percentage values from CPU objects in the node, DISK-BUSY percentage
values from disk objects in the node, and LINE-BUSY percentage values for
communications lines connected to the node.
TMFSERVE provides a count of transactions per second, measured at the time of each
status request from the NCN. PATHMON provides a count of Pathway terminals
currently running on a particular Pathway system. The SCP process for SNAX provides
a count of SNAX LUs started, PUs started, and lines started.
The user-written status collection server obtains status information from the user
application subsystems and forwards the information to the ViewPoint TCP in the NCN.
Event Presentation
The remainder of this section describes the concepts involved in collecting and
presenting network events.
Figure 5-13 illustrates the general concept of displaying events in current-events mode.
(Historical mode is considered later.) Sources of event messages are subsystems that
have message-reporting capability. All such event messages are recorded in an event
log in each network node. In addition, each new message is forwarded to the NCN for
display on your terminal.
