Description 
Operators Allowed 
MOD TIME STAMP 
This threshold generates alerts based on the modification 
timestamp.  Using -1 (minus one) with ‘equal’ or ‘not equal’ 
will cause the application to capture the current timestamp 
and use that value when evaluating the threshold. When 
using the Greater Than option, the value specified in the 
<value-1>field will be used to designate the maximum age 
in minutes before an alert is generated. So if the value is 
60, if the file was not updated within 60 minutes of the poll, 
an alert will be generated. This is intended to be used to 
detect files that are supposed to be updated on a regular 
basis, but are not being updated. 
•  Equal to <value1> 
•  Not equal to <value1> 
•  Greater than <value1> 
NBR OF RECORDS  This threshold allows the user to test for the number of 
records in a structured (or queue) file. This is NOT 
supported for UNSTRUCTURED files. 
• 
Equal to <value1> 
•  Not equal to <value1> 
•  Less than <value1> 
•  Less than or equal to <value1> 
•  Greater than <value1> 
•  Greater than or equal to <value1> 
• 
Greater than <value1> and less than 
<value2>  
•  Less than <value1> or greater than 
<value2> 
NEEDS RECOVERY 
This threshold tests the CRASHOPEN, CORRUPT, BROKEN 
and ROLLFORWARDNEEDED bits. If any of these conditions 
are true, it will be considered as a violation. 
No operator. 
OPEN 
This threshold checks for the file open condition. The state is 
determined at the polling interval. The last open timestamp is 
not used. 
•  EQUAL TO 
•  NOT EQUAL TO 
PERCENT EMPTY 
PERCENT EMPTY allows the user to check on the percentage 
of file space empty for the file being monitored. The units for 
Value 1 (Low-Value) and Value 2 (High-Value) should 
always be a percentage. 
•  Equal to <value1> 
•  Not equal to <value1> 
•  Less than <value1> 
•  Less than or equal to <value1> 
•  Greater than <value1> 
•  Greater than or equal to <value1> 
• 
Greater than <value1> and less than 
<value2>  
•  Less than <value1> or greater than 
<value2> 
PERCENT FULL 
PERCENT FULL allows the user to check on the percentage of 
file space full for the file being monitored. The units for 
Value 1 (Low-Value) and Value 2 (High-Value) should 
always be a percentage. 
•  Equal to <value1> 
•  Not equal to <value1> 
•  Less than <value1> 
•  Less than or equal to <value1> 
•  Greater than <value1> 
•  Greater than or equal to <value1> 
• 
Greater than <value1> and less than 
<value2>  
•  Less than <value1> or greater than 
<value2> 
POTENTIAL ERROR 
43 
POTENTIAL ERROR 43 allows the user to check if it is still 
possible to allocate the next extent for this file. This is not 
supported for the VIRTUAL drives. 
No operator. 
PROGID  This threshold type allows the user to test the PROGID bit. 
For ON the EQUAL TO operator is used. For OFF the NOT 
EQUAL TO operator is used. 
• 
EQUAL TO 
•  NOT EQUAL TO 
SQL VALID 
This threshold type allows the user to test the SQL VALID bit. 
For ON the EQUAL TO operator is used. For OFF the NOT 
EQUAL TO operator is used. 
•  EQUAL TO 
•  NOT EQUAL TO
