<h1 class="topictitle1">Specify threshold run commands</h1>
|
||
|
|
<div><p>A <dfn class="term">threshold</dfn> is a setting for a metric that is being
|
||
|
|
collected by a monitor. <dfn class="term">Threshold commands</dfn> run automatically
|
||
|
|
on your endpoint system when threshold events occur. Threshold commands are
|
||
|
|
different from any threshold actions you may have set. Threshold actions happen
|
||
|
|
on your PC or central system, while threshold commands run on your endpoint
|
||
|
|
systems.</p>
|
||
|
|
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Use of threshold commands</h4><p>Use threshold settings
|
||
|
|
to automate any i5/OS™ command
|
||
|
|
you want to run when thresholds are triggered or reset. For example, suppose
|
||
|
|
you are running a job monitor and a certain batch job that is supposed to
|
||
|
|
complete before the first shift begins is still running at 6:00 a.m. To accomplish
|
||
|
|
this, you can set up Threshold 1 to send a page command to a system operator
|
||
|
|
to look at it. You can also set up Threshold 2 to send a command to end the
|
||
|
|
job if it is still running at 7:00 a.m.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>In another situation, you might
|
||
|
|
want to notify your operators with a page command when the job monitor detects
|
||
|
|
that the wait time values for the FTP and HTTP servers have reached a median
|
||
|
|
level. If the FTP server jobs end, you can restart the server
|
||
|
|
with a start server command (such as STRTCPSVR *FTP). You can set thresholds
|
||
|
|
and specify commands to automatically handle many different situations. In
|
||
|
|
short, you can use threshold commands in any way that makes sense for your
|
||
|
|
environment.</p>
|
||
|
|
</div>
|
||
|
|
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">How do I set threshold commands?</h4><p>On the New Monitor-Metrics
|
||
|
|
page, click the <span class="uicontrol">Thresholds</span> tab to enable your thresholds.
|
||
|
|
Before you can set any threshold commands, you must turn your thresholds on
|
||
|
|
by selecting the <span class="uicontrol">Enable trigger</span> (or similarly named)
|
||
|
|
option. You can then use this window to enter any commands you want to run
|
||
|
|
when the threshold trigger value is reached. Select the <span class="uicontrol">Enable
|
||
|
|
reset</span> (or similarly named) option if you want to specify a command
|
||
|
|
to run when the threshold reset value is reached.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Management Central
|
||
|
|
monitors allow you to specify any batch commands to run on the server when
|
||
|
|
the threshold is triggered or reset. You can enter an i5/OS command name and click <span class="uicontrol">Prompt</span> (or
|
||
|
|
press F4) for assistance in specifying the parameters for the command. You
|
||
|
|
can even use replacement variables (such as &TIME or &NUMCURRENT)
|
||
|
|
to pass information to the command, such as the time and actual value of the
|
||
|
|
metric.</p>
