Arguments

Field Name Description
risingThreshold text The upper threshold value to be checked at each NMON poll. When the polled value is greater than or equal to this threshold, and the value at the last poll interval was less than this threshold, the system generates an event of level risingEventLevel. An event is also generated if the first sample after this entry becomes valid is greater than or equal to this threshold, and the associated alarmStartupAlarm is equal to risingAlarm or risingOrFallingAlarm. After a rising event is generated, the system does not generate another such event until the sampled value falls below this threshold and reaches the alarmFallingThreshold.
pollInterval integer Optional: Interval, in seconds, over which the data is sampled and compared with thresholds. NMON polls values at the poll interval setting and compares the results to the threshold values. At this poll interval, no alarm is generated, but if a threshold is crossed, it is noted for the next alarm interval.

Valid values are from 5 to 65535; the default setting is "60".
fallingThreshold text Optional: Falling threshold defaults to rising threshold if unspecified. A threshold for the sampled statistic. When the current sampled value is less than or equal to this threshold, and the value at the last sampling interval was greater than this threshold, they system generates an event. A single event is also generated if the first sample after this entry becomes valid is less than or equal to this threshold and the associated alarmStartupAlarm is equal to fallingAlarm or risingOrFallingAlarm. After a falling event is generated, another such event is not generated until the sampled value rises above this threshold and reaches the alarmRisingThreshold. This object may not be modified if the associated alarmStatus object is equal to valid.
alarmInterval integer Optional: The amount of time (in seconds) between alarm queries. This interval is used to determine if an alarm should be generated when a poll detects a rising or falling threshold event.

Valid values are from 5 to 65535; the default setting is "60".
sampleType enumeration Optional: The method used by the poll for sampling the selected variable and calculating the value to be compared against the thresholds.

The default setting is "deltaValue".

Valid values:
  • absoluteValue : Value of the parameter is compared directly with the thresholds.
  • deltaValue : The difference between this poll and last poll is used for comparison.
  • factoredDeltaValue : deltaValue compare where factoring is used if poll time exceeds pollInterval.
risingEventLevel enumeration Optional: The level of syslog event message that the system sends when a rising threshold alarm is generated.

The default setting is "warning".

Valid values:
  • emergency : Fatal detection alarm.
  • alert : Alarm indicating immediate action is required.
  • critical : Alarm indicating a serious condition.
  • error : Alarm indicating a loss of some system functionality.
  • warning : Alarm indicating possible system problem.
  • notice : Alarm indicating administrative action may be needed.
  • informational : An informational alarm.
  • debug : Alarm intended for Sun internal and technical support use only.
  • none : No alarm should be generated.
fallingEventLevel enumeration Optional: The level of syslog event message that the system sends when a falling threshold alarm is generated.

The default setting is "none".

Valid values:
  • emergency : Fatal detection alarm.
  • alert : Alarm indicating immediate action is required.
  • critical : Alarm indicating a serious condition.
  • error : Alarm indicating a loss of some system functionality.
  • warning : Alarm indicating possible system problem.
  • notice : Alarm indicating administrative action may be needed.
  • informational : An informational alarm.
  • debug : Alarm intended for Sun internal and technical support use only.
  • none : No alarm should be generated.
