Monitor messages format

A monitor issues a warning message when a user-defined threshold is exceeded. When the threshold is no longer exceeded, the monitor issues a resolution message. Formats for the warning messages vary, depending on where the monitor obtains the thresholds.

Warning format when thresholds are from the problem threshold table

If the threshold is stored in the problem threshold table, the warning message uses the following format:

FTresourceIDseverity messageText

The variables are as follows:

  • resourceID is a number that identifies the monitored resource
  • severity indicates the severity level: I (for an informational threshold), W (warning threshold), S (severe threshold), or Z (threshold that is no longer exceeded).

Warning format when thresholds are from the starting parameter WVAL

If the threshold is from the starting parameter WVAL, the warning message uses the following format:

FTserviceID0W (nn) hh:mm:ss title(parm) = currentValue [IN x intrvl] (>thrshld) *****

The variables are as follows:

  • serviceID is a number that identifies the requested service.
  • nn specifies how many times this warning message has been issued.
  • hh:mm:ss specifies the timestamp (in hours, minutes, and seconds).
  • title specifies the title of the associated service.
  • parm indicates the parameter (if any) that was specified when the request was made.
  • currentValue specifies the current measured value.

  • x indicates the time that was specified for the resource sampling (as an integer or a timestamp), and intrvl indicates the time measurement unit (SEC for seconds or MIN for minutes).

    Warning

    Note

    This measurement is included only when a COUNT data type is measured. Also, time measurement units are excluded if the time is presented as a timestamp (hh:mm:ss).

  • thrshld is the threshold value that was specified when the monitor service request was made. A less-than character (>) indicates that the sampled value is less than or equal to the threshold as specified by the request.
  • ***** emphasizes the message in the PAS journal log.

When the threshold is no longer exceeded, an informational message notifies you, using the following format:

FTserviceID1I hh:mm:ss title(parm) NO LONGER > thrshldValue

Information
Example

The variable thrshldValue indicates the threshold value that was specified when the monitor service request was made.

Warning

Note

The target system is identified in these messages. In the journal log, the target name is in the origin identifier field (scroll left to view). WTO messages have both the PAS ID and the target (TGT= xxxx) appended at the end of the message text.

Problem monitor messages

The problem monitors,@PRBn, use thresholds in the problem threshold table.

Additionally, some of the task and general monitors use the problem threshold table if a threshold is not specified in the starting parameters. The complete list of messages cross-referenced with their issuing monitors can be found in Monitor-messages. The list also specifies whether a threshold can be defined in the problem threshold table.

See the Customizing-after-installation for information about modifying the problem threshold table (CMRPRBT).
