Setting the resource thresholds for events and alarms

Log on to the EPM web interface by using an account with the Administration user role.

On the EPM navigation pane, click System Configuration > MPP Servers.

On the MPP Servers page, click MPP Settings.

On the MPP Settings page, go to the Resource Alerting Thresholds (%) section.

For the CPU field, enter the following information:

High Water: Enter the percentage of the CPU that the system must exceed before an alarm is generated.

The system generates one alarm each time the CPU percentage goes from being below the low water threshold to being above the high water threshold. In other words, once a high water alarm is generated, another alarm does not occur until the CPU percentage falls back down below the low water setting and then rises above the high water setting again. The default is 70.
Low Water: Enter the percentage of the CPU that the system must fall below before an event is generated.

The system generates one event each time the CPU percentage goes from being above the low water threshold to being below it. In other words, once a low water event is generated, another event does not occur until the CPU percentage rises above the low water setting and then falls below it again. The default is 60.

For the Memory field, enter the following information:

High Water: Enter the percentage of the available RAM that the system must exceed before an alarm is generated.

The system generates one alarm each time the percentage of the available RAM goes from being below the high water threshold to being above it. The default is 50.
Low Water: Enter the percentage of the available RAM that the system must fall below before an event is generated.

The system generates one event each time the percentage of the available RAM goes from being above the low water threshold to being below it. The default is 40.

For the Disk field, enter the following information:

High Water: Enter the percentage of disk space that the system must exceed before an alarm is generated.

The system generates one alarm each time the percentage of disk space being used goes from being below the high water threshold to being above it. The default is 80.
Low Water: Enter the percentage of disk space that the system must fall below before an event is generated.

The system generates one event each time the percentage of disk space being used goes from being above the low water threshold to being below it. The default is 60.

For the Port field, enter the following information:

High Water: Enter the percentage of port usage that the system must exceed before an alarm is generated.

The system generates one alarm each time the percentage of port usage goes from being below the high water threshold to being above it. The default is 80.
Low Water: Enter the percentage of port usage that the system must fall below before an event is generated.

The system generates one event each time the percentage of port usage goes from being above the low water threshold to being below it. The default is 70.
