Alarm Management


Alarm Management

 provides alarms for the 

BMC AMI Ops Monitor for UNIX System Services

 product. These alarms display messages that can alert you when system resources are overused.

Important

The alarm definitions that are distributed with BMC AMI Ops Monitor for USS are based on Alarm Management version 5.0.xx and later.

Alarm Management is capable of simultaneously monitoring multiple systems. That is, if Alarm Management is installed on one system, it keeps track of your entire sysplex. For more information about Alarm Management, see Using Alarm Management.

The BMC AMI Ops Monitor for USS product is distributed with alarms that you can customize to meet your specific monitoring needs. You can use the ALRMDIST view to manage the distributed alarms.
