ASAP 3.1 Server Manual

HP NonStop ASAP Server Manual Page 183 of 360
Use GOAL command to set or view preferred-property-threshold settings (objectives).
When a goaled property threshold is exceeded, the state of the goaled property is
assigned an alert state. States in ASAP describe the status of a property: up, down,
warning, or critical. ASAP displays goaled alert states in the ASAP Client, the Event
Management Service (EMS) subsystem, or both.
To enable goaled property alerts in ASAP Client, set State Determination to
UseStateGraphState for each goaled property in the ASAP Client Attribute Property
sheet. For more info, see "Configuring ASAP" in ASAP Client help.
To enable goaled property events in the EMS subsystem, issue a SET
OBJECTIVESEVENT ON command from the ASAP command interpreter before
starting ASAP Server components.
The GOAL command controls objectives used to produce alerts and to take actions.
The MONITOR command controls which objects are monitored within ASAP.
The GOAL command is also used to display objective values and actions.
The RANK command is a synonym for the GOAL command; the two are
interchangeable.
entity
is the name of an ASAP Entity as defined in EDL.
node
is the node name the command applies to.
domain
is any form of an ASAP domain name. Domain names can represent physical
devices ($Data) or abstract representations of applications (Funds\Transfer\Input.)
Some command options support the asterisk wild-card character at the end of the
domain name.
COMMIT
sends a commit request to all entities or a specific entity on a local or remote node.
This request causes ASAP to reload its set of objectives for the entity or entities on
the node.
