ASAP 3.0 Client Manual

HP NonStop ASAP Client Manual Page 103 of 161
Setting an icon threshold value to 0 (zero) disables the display of an icon and all icons
to its left. Setting an icon threshold value exactly equal to the slider on its right nullifies
that icon because icons to the right have higher priority.
Each slider controls the percent utilization threshold level where its icon appears in the
OIL or OEM. For example, if the performance utilization threshold is set to 80 percent
for the red Critical alert icon, any object with a graphed performance attribute at 80
percent or more utilization has the red icon propagated upward through the hierarchy
for that object. Thus, the node and entity for that object also appears red.
When ASAP receives new data from the Host Session, each object is analyzed to see
if it has any graphed attributes that have alert states or that exceed the configured
utilization thresholds. If an object has one or more attributes that exceed thresholds,
the highest alert icon is displayed for that object. The alert icon for the object with the
highest alert is propagated upward through the object hierarchy so that you can easily
see the objects with the highest alerts, even when a collapsed tree view of your system
is displayed.
You can control which attributes have utilization thresholds by indicating whether an
attribute is graphed. Use the Attribute property sheet. By changing which attributes are
graphed, you control which attributes are used to determine when an object exceeds
utilization thresholds. Attributes that are not graphed are not used to determine alerts.
To change the utilization threshold percentage for graphed attributes that have Use
Thresholds State Determination enabled, move a Utilization Threshold slider. To
change the normalization value for a specific attribute, change the Graph-Max value
for that attribute on the Attribute property sheet. Attributes with their State
Determination property set to a value other than Use Thresholds have their alert state
determined by an associated state, and are not affected by the Utilization Thresholds
sliders.
Utilization Threshold Preset Buttons
The Utilization Thresholds control panel contains a set of threshold preset buttons so
that you can quickly set Utilization Threshold sliders to predetermined values.
OSC Property Sheet
The OSC property sheet controls whether Object State Changes are monitored and
how they are displayed. OSC monitoring provides both high-level graphical overviews
of object state changes, and a detailed log of state changes.
You can use this dialog to:
Control whether Object State Change monitoring is enabled
Control whether the OSC window is displayed
