OVNPM 1.5.2 - Performance Agent for NonStop Server Monitoring Guide

Configuring File Scanning 61
6-3-2 FileScan Section
The [FileScan] section defines the files that are monitored for size and extent, and any exceptions to the default
thresholds. Files can be defined individually and as entire subvolume content. In the second case, it defines the
files to be excluded from monitoring.
Syntax:
File|Subvol[:[Full.% Threshold][:[FreeExtent.nb Threshold]]]
The ":" extension will override the default value.
The specific threshold defined will override the default threshold
1.Override default threshold.
$dev.thd means Full=Default and Free-extent.nb=default
$dev.thd.dslog:50 means Full=50 and Free-extent.nb=default
$dev.thd.dbslog::5 means Full=default and Free-extent.nb=5
$dev.thd.dslog:60:10 means Full=60 and Free-extent.nb=10
2.Exclusion.
$data.mad.max:Nocheck do not check Full threshold.
$data.mad.max::Nocheck do not check FreeExtent.nb threshold.
$data.bad.buddy:Nocheck:Nocheck exclude this file from scanning.
3.Tolerant syntax.
$dev.mad.max:: = $dev.mad.max: = $dev.mad.max
$dev.mad.max:5: = $dev.mad.max:5

The following table presents examples of syntax entries that you can use to monitor files.

$DEV.DATA1.File:80:5
Uses 80% for FULL% threshold and 5 for the Free-extent threshold for the file.
$PROD.DATA3:70 Uses70% for FULL% and default Free-Extent.nb for the subvolume.
$PROD.DATA3.FILE::5
Uses the default for FULL% and 5 for Free-Extent.nb for the file
$DEV.DATA1.FILE1NoCheck
Do not check Free-Extend.nb, uses the default FULL.% threshold for the file.
