RANK Command
RANK Command
The RANK command controls the objectives used to produce alerts and spawn actions
within ASAP. It controls the set of objectives and gets information about those
objectives.
Use the RANK command to set or view preferred-property-threshold settings
(objectives). When a ranked property threshold is exceeded, the state of the ranked
property is assigned an alert state. States in ASAP describe the status of a property
such as up, down, warning, or critical. ASAP displays ranked alert states in the ASAP
Client, the EMS subsystem, or both.
To enable ranked property alerts in ASAP Client, set State Determination to
UseStateGraphState for each ranked property in the ASAP Client Attribute Property
sheet. For more information, see "Configuring ASAP" in the ASAP Client help.
To enable ranked property events in EMS subsystem, issue a SET
OBJECTIVESEVENT ON command from the ASAP command interpreter before
starting ASAP Server components.
The RANK command controls objectives used to produce alerts and to take actions.
The MONITOR command controls which objects are monitored within ASAP.
The RANK command is also used to display objective values and actions.
The GOAL command is a synonym for the RANK command; the two are
interchangeable.
