pw threshold checkpoint


The pw threshold checkpoint command manages existing thresholds. With this command, thresholds can be saved for items: 

  • Particular monitor type 
  • Monitor instance 
  • Multiple instances

This command can also be used to apply thresholds from one setup to another. This command is useful to restore backed-up thresholds in case any existing thresholds are lost.

Note

It is recommended to create check point by using the -all option after the server is completely configured.

pw threshold checkpoint command options

Attribute

Description

<create>

Creates a unique check point <name> with <description>.

<load>

Reinstantiates all thresholds that are in the check point <name> in the system. In effect, it mergs the thresholds that are in the check point with the set of existing thresholds in the system. If you want to restore exactly what was there at the time that the check point was created, you must run the clear command.

<list>

If <name> is supplied, displays all thresholds for <name> partition. If <name> is not supplied, lists all partition names.

<delete>

Deletes the check point <name> from database

<delete thresholds>

Deletes all thresholds matching options

<export>

Exports a named check point into an XML file

<import>

Imports an XML file into the database. Note that if the XML file includes any instance thresholds, they will be ignored. If the name of the check point is not unique, command will also fail.

where

Attribute

Description

<name>

Unique name for check point

<desc>

Description of check point

<options>

Filters to further narrow down threshold list

<threshold filter>-all-glob-inst-abs-sig

Filters all the thresholds. Filters all the global thresholds. Filters all the instance thresholds. Filters all the absolute thresholds. Filters all the signature thresholds.

<partitions> -g <group_name>-d <device_name> -mt <mo_type>

Set of thresholds described by groups, monitor type or deviceName of the groupName of the deviceName of the monitor type

  • pw threshold checkpoint create <name> <desc> -all

    Creates a checkpoint for all defined thresholds on the server

  • pw threshold checkpoint create <name> <desc> -glob -sig

    Creates a checkpoint for all global signature thresholds on the server

  • pw threshold checkpoint create <name> <desc> -g <group_name> -all -abs

    Creates a checkpoint for both global and instance absolute thresholds for that group

  • pw threshold checkpoint create <name> <desc> -mt <mo_type> -all -sig

    Creates a checkpoint for both global and instance signature thresholds for that monitor type

  • pw threshold checkpoint create <name> <desc> -d <device_name> -inst -sig

    Creates a checkpoint for all instance signature thresholds for that device

  • pw threshold checkpoint load <name>

    Restores all thresholds that are in the check point <name>

    Note

    pw threshold checkpoint load only supports out-of-the-box abnormality global thresholds.

  • pw threshold checkpoint list  

    Lists all available checkpoints on the system

  • pw threshold checkpoint delete <name>

    Particular checkpoint will be removed.

  • pw threshold checkpoint delete thresholds -g group1 -inst -sig

    Deletes all signature instance level thresholds from group <group1>

  • pw threshold checkpoint  export temp john.xml

    Exports checkpoint temp into john.xml file.

     

    Note

    • In case of pw threshold checkpoint export <name> <filename>, if fully qualified file name is not given, then the file will be saved in /usr/pw/pronto/tmp/<filename>
    • In case of pw threshold checkpoint import john.xml, it imports john.xml file into the database and creates a checkpoint. 
    • In case of pw threshold checkpoint import <filename>, if xml file does not exist under /usr/pw/pronto/tmp/, then it requires a fully qualified file name. 
    • Use this feature to apply thresholds from one setup to another; export the checkpoint to an xml file and FTP over to another computer and import that xml file.
