Thresholds
This area of the Node Configuration view displays
the following threshold settings:
Port Utilization Threshold
This parameter sets the alarm level for traffic on
every port in a node. The traffic is checked over a
64-second interval to determine average
characters per second, which is compared to the
port's clock rate to determine this threshold. If
the percent of utilization exceeds the setting, an
alarm is generated. Port utilization records are
kept for each port, and the port in question is
noted in the report.
Buffer Utilization Threshold
The percentage of temporary storage buffer usage
above which an alarm will be generated.
CPU Utilization Threshold
The percentage of CPU time spent performing
non-diagnostic functions above which an alarm
will be generated.
Port Error Threshold
The number of port errors (such as parity or
framing errors) that can be detected before a
medium severity alarm is generated.
Alarms
This area of the Node Configuration view displays
the following alarms settings:
Alarm Distribution
Specifies where alarm and event reports will be
sent. Possible values are "none" (if no reports are
to be sent) or any combination of "ctp," (control
terminal port), "prin," (printer—see Alarm Printer
Mnemonic, described below), or "log" (the node's
log, which may save up to 60 alarms).
Alarm Printer Mnemonic
The mnemonic name for the destination of alarms
sent by the node if the Alarm Distribution value
(described above) is set to "prin."
Alarm Threshold Timer
The amount of time that must elapse after
generation of an alarm before the node can
generate that alrm again.
Alarm Selection
Specifies the types of alarms and events that are
reported by the node. Possible values are "none,"
"low," "medium," "high," "conn" (connection
events), and "code" (alarms from Codex 6000
Statistical Multiplexer devices).
