Compaq Tru64 Event Tests

The Oracle Enterprise Manager Advanced Event Tests for Compaq Tru64 are divided into a series of classes or groupings that will enable you to find the event test you are interested in registering.

The class names and some of the events that you can register within the classes are listed as follows.

Summary of Compaq Tru64 Event Tests

The following tables list the Compaq Tru64 event tests by class. The full descriptions of the individual event tests follow the tables. The event tests are in alphabetical order.

Table 3-1 File System Class Event Tests  
Event Test  Description 

Available (KB) 

Available is the amount of space, in kilobytes, available for the creation of new files by users who do not have superuser privileges.

This test checks for available space on the disk specified by the File System Name parameter, such as /, /tmp, or * (for all disks). If the space available is less than or equal to the values specified in the threshold arguments, and the number of occurrences exceeds the value specified in the "Number of Occurrences" parameter, then a warning or critical alert is generated. 

Used (KB) 

Used is the amount of space (in kilobytes) allocated to existing files.

This test checks for space used on the disk specified by the File System Name parameter, such as /, /tmp, or * (for all file systems). If the space used is greater than or equal to the values specified in the threshold arguments, and the number of occurrences exceeds the value specified in the "Number of Occurrences" parameter, then a warning or critical alert is generated. 

Utilized (%) 

Utilized is the percentage of space that is currently allocated to all files on the file system.

This test checks for the percentage of space used on the disk specified by the File System Name parameter, such as /, /tmp, or * (for all disks). If the percentage of space used is greater than or equal to the values specified in the threshold arguments, and the number of occurrences exceeds the value specified in the "Number of Occurrences" parameter, then a warning or critical alert is generated. 

Table 3-2 Process Class Event Tests  
Event Test  Description 

Percent Memory Used 

Percent Memory Used is the ratio of the resident set size of a process to the physical memory on the machine, expressed as a percentage.

This test checks the percent memory used by the process(es) specified by the process names parameter, such as vppdc or * (for all processes running on the system). If the percent memory used by one process is greater than or equal to the values specified in the threshold arguments, and the number of occurrences exceeds the value specified in the "Number of Occurrences" parameter, then a warning or critical alert is generated. 

Resident Size 

Resident Size is the resident set size of a process, in kilobytes.

This test checks the resident size of the process(es) specified by the process names parameter, such as vppdc or * (for all processes running on the system). If the resident size of one process is greater than or equal to the values specified in the threshold arguments, and the number of occurrences exceeds the value specified in the "Number of Occurrences" parameter, then a warning or critical alert is generated. 

System Time 

System Time (%) is the percentage of system level CPU time that a process used.

This test checks the percentage of system time that has been used by the process(es) specified by the process names parameter, such as vppdc or * (for all processes running on the system). If the System Time (%) value used by any one process is greater than or equal to the values specified in the threshold arguments, and the number of occurrences exceeds the value specified in the "Number of Occurrences" parameter, then a warning or critical alert is generated. 

Threads 

Threads is the number of lwps (lightweight processes) in a process.

This test checks the number of threads in the process(es) specified by the process names parameter, such as vppdc or * (for all processes running on the system). If the number of threads is greater than or equal to the values specified in the threshold arguments, and the number of occurrences exceeds the value specified in the "Number of Occurrences" parameter, then a warning or critical alert is generated. 

User Time 

User Time (%) is the percentage of user level CPU time that a process used.

This test checks the percentage of user time that has been used by the process(es) specified by the process names parameter, such as vppdc or * (for all processes running on the system). If the User Time (%) value used by one process is greater than or equal to the values specified in the threshold arguments, and the number of occurrences exceeds the value specified in the "Number of Occurrences" parameter, then a warning or critical alert is generated. 

Virtual Size 

Virtual Size is the total size of a process in virtual memory, in kilobytes.

This test checks the total size of the process(es) specified by the process names parameter, such as vppdc or * (for all processes running on the system). If the total size of any one process is greater than or equal to the values specified in the threshold arguments, and the number of occurrences exceeds the value specified in the "Number of Occurrences" parameter, then a warning or critical alert is generated.
