Implementing Performance Management
PM Threshold Monitoring Overview
The PM system supports the configuration of threshold conditions to monitor an attribute (or attributes) for
threshold violations. Threshold conditions are configured through PM threshold monitoring templates. When
a PM threshold template is enabled, the PM system monitors all instances of the attribute (or attributes) for
the threshold condition configured in the template. If at end of the sample interval a threshold condition is
matched, the PM system generates a system logging message for each instance that matches the threshold
condition.
Guidelines for Creating PM Threshold Monitoring Templates
When creating a PM threshold template, follow these guidelines:
• Use the performance-mgmt thresholds command to create a PM threshold template.
• Specify entity for the entity argument.
• You can define multiple PM thresholds templates for an entity; however, note that at a time only one
• Specify a name for an entity's template when you configure it. You can designate the template as the
• Specify the attribute associated with the entity to be monitored for threshold violations, for the attribute
