Health Monitor

The following table lists the Health Monitor complex rules.

Table D–3 Health Monitor Complex Rules

Rule ID 

Description 

Type of Alarm  

rhltm000

This rule checks whether there is enough swap space.

Critical, Alert, Caution 

rhltm001

CPU power is wasted each time a CPU has to wait for a lock to become free. This event is counted because the kernel uses mutually exclusive locks to synchronize its operation and to keep multiple CPUs from concurrently accessing critical code and data regions.

Critical, Alert, Caution 

rhltm002

NFS remote procedure call timeouts may be associated with duplicate responses after the call is retransmitted. These timeouts indicate that the network is okay but the server is responding slowly.

Critical, Alert, Caution 

rhltm003

The run queue length is divided by the number of CPUs because every CPU takes a job off the run queue in each time slice.

Critical, Alert, Caution 

rhltm004

A busy disk or a slow disk reduces system throughput and increases user response times. This rule identifies the disks that are loaded so that the load can be rebalanced.

Critical, Alert, Caution 

rhltm005

RAM rule based on residency time for an unreferenced page. The virtual memory system indicates that the system needs more memory when the system scans to look for idle pages to reclaim for other uses.

Critical, Alert, Caution 

rhltm006

This rule refers to the problem with kernel memory allocation that occurs when login attempts or network connections fail unexpectedly. There are two possible causes: Either the kernel has reached the extent of its address space, or the free list does not contain any pages to allocate. The repeated failures signify a problem that might otherwise be overlooked.

Critical, Alert, Caution 

rhltm007

A global cache of directory path name components exists. This cache is called the directory name lookup cache (DNLC). If this cache does not exist, directory entries must be read from disk and be scanned to locate the right file.  

Critical, Alert, Caution
