Alarm Detection Scripts
Alarm Detection Scripts identify what system variables the Management Layer must monitor to trigger an alarm.
Alarm Detection Scripts are Script objects of type Alarm Detection, and are created in the same way as other Scripts.
The system variables that the Management Layer can monitor (also called advanced alarm detection parameters) include:
- Host System Variable Threshold—Enables you to specify the value for an irregular change that might occur over a
certain interval, in either CPU or memory use, on a given host.
- Application System Variable Threshold—Enables you to specify the value for an irregular change that might occur
over a certain interval in either an application's CPU or memory use.
- Local SNMP Variable Threshold—Enables you to specify the value for an irregular change that might occur over a certain interval
in any SNMP variable retrieved from the Genesys MIB file.
- Remote SNMP Variable Threshold—Enables you to specify the value for an irregular change that might occur over a certain
interval in any SNMP variable retrieved from a non-Genesys MIB file.
Warning! The SNMP-related alarm detection capabilities require that you have a Genesys SNMP license for Solution Control Server.
Note: The Rising Threshold, which triggers an alarm when crossed only if the value is rising, must be a higher number than
the Falling Threshold, which clears the alarm when crossed only if the value is falling. For example, if the Rising Threshold is 300,
the Falling Threshold must be less than 300.
