Use Value Graph Value Option
The Use Value Graph Value option indicates that attribute state information is
determined directly by the value of that attribute. This value is graphed.
Entities such as App have user-defined metrics that provide both value and state
information in ordered pairs of numbers; for example, Busy and BusyState. The metric
portion is the actual value of the attribute, and the state portion is the entity agent’s
state determination objective associated with the metric. When you select the Use
Value Graph Value option, the metric value is graphed, and that value is also used to
directly specify the state of the object. The state variable associated with the metric is
ignored.
This option lets applications using the ASAP Extension directly set the state of an
attribute from their application program.
Use State Graph Value Option
The Use State Graph Value option indicates that attribute state information is
determined by the state variable associated with that attribute. The attribute value is
graphed.
Entities such as App have user-defined metrics that provide both value and state
information in ordered pairs of numbers; for example, Busy and BusyState. The metric
portion is the actual value of the attribute, and the state portion is the entity agent’s
state determination objective associated with the metric. When you select the Use
State Graph Value option, the actual metric value is graphed, but the objective state of
the value is determined by the state variable associated with the metric value.
This option lets you use the ASAP Extension to configure host-defined performance
state objectives and to see a graphical representation of these states in the ASAP
Client GUI, the OEM/OIL, and any OEM adapter-enabled Enterprise Management
framework.
Use State Graph State Option
The Use State Graph State option indicates that attribute state information is
determined by the state variable associated with that attribute, and that state value
should also be graphed. Because larger state values indicate higher alert levels, this
option is useful for graphically drawing your attention to the most significant alerts.
Entities such as App have user-defined metrics that provide value and state
information in ordered pairs of numbers; for example, Busy and BusyState. The metric
