State Downgrades Monitored Check Box
The State Downgrades Monitored check box controls whether state downgrades are
monitored.
When you select this check box and click the Apply button, ASAP monitors state
downgrades. If you do not select this check box, state downgrades are not logged in
the OSC log.
State downgrades occur when the state of an object degrades. For example, when an
object's state changes from Up to Down, the state of the object is said to have
degraded. When the state of an object changes from Warning to Critical, its state has
degraded.
Typically, state downgrades are always monitored. Users focus on tracking when
things degrade but are not always concerned with when they improve.
If you want to track state improvements, see State Upgrades Monitored Check Box
on page 104.
Minimum State Change Monitored List
The Minimum State Change Monitored list specifies the minimum state to be
monitored. When you select a minimum state, you are specifying the minimum state
change that ASAP monitors.
For example, if you select Warning as the minimum state change monitored, changes
into states less significant than Warning are not logged in the OSC log. In this case,
state changes to Up, Low, Medium, or High alert are not logged in the OSC log.
Maximum Change History Retained in Log List
The Maximum Change History Retained in Log list specifies the maximum number of
state changes that the OSC log retains.
When you select the maximum change history, you specify how much history is
retained in the OSC log.
For example, if you select 200 as the maximum, up to 200 of the most recent state
changes are retained in the OSC log.
The OSC log is retained in workstation memory for fast access.
Because detailed statistics are stored in the ASAP server, the OSC log is small, and
uses little workstation memory.
