MaxObjectives - EDL Entity Property
For example for the CPU entity, the Row Key consists of the Date Time data attributes.
These attributes contain values that, when concatenated together, uniquely define
each row instance of this entity.
Applies to: Client
Default: KeyForRow "" -- null
Example
KeyForRow "Date Time" –- Indicates Date and Time
-- data attribute contents
-- are concatenated together to
-- define each data Row's key.
MaxObjectives - EDL Entity Property
MaxObjectives Number
The MaxObjectives property defines the maximum number of objective records that
can be loaded into memory for the entity. ASAP Server uses this to pre-allocate shared
memory to hold objective records. The number of objectives varies depending on the
type of entity. For example, for CPU expect a maximum of 17 objective records (1 for
CPU entity, and 1 each for CPU\n). For a file, the number could be much larger.
Applies to: Server
Default: MaxObjectives 0
Examples
MAXOBJECTIVES 17
Rate - EDL Entity Property
Rate Number
The Rate entity property defines the update interval expected for a given entity. The
interval value is specified in minutes.
If the Rate property is not specified for a given entity, the entity sampling rate is
determined by the global ASAP server SET RATE value. The ASAP Client uses a
nonzero RATE associated with an entity to determine whether data for that entity is too
late (or too early). Late data provides an overall health indicator for a given entity or
subsystem because late data can indicate that an entity is down, hung, or that time of
day is not synchronized between different nodes.
If the Time attribute property for an entity has state determination enabled for it by
setting Graph True, the Rate entity property is used to determine whether data for this
entity is late.
