Services

JMX Applications

• Connects to the MX4J-JMX agent to check availability and response time of RMI Connector. You can also view the custom attributes of the MX4J-JMX agent in the same page. Further, alarms can be generated for JMX notifications through JMX Notification Listener. For information on adding Custom Monitors, refer to Custom Monitors topic.

Ping Monitor

• Applications Manager uses Ping Monitor to track if the particular host / IP address is accessible or not. It checks for availability of a device, server or network device

• The parameters that are monitored are

  Packet Statistics:

  Packet Loss (%): Packet loss gives the percentage of packets that fail to reach the destination.
  Packets Sent: No. of Packets sent.
  Packet Received: No. of Packets received.

  Round Trip Time: Time taken for each packet exchange. Ping places a timestamp in each packet, which is echoed back and is used to compute how long each packet exchange took

Service Monitoring

• Monitors different services running in particular/default ports such as FTP-21, Telnet-23 etc running in the network.

• Connects to the server configured for monitoring.

• Checks availability and the response time of the service. Here, the response time is the time taken to connect to the port, execute the given command and search the string.

SNMP

• Connects to SNMP agent running in an application and monitors the availability and performance of the service. You can also view the custom attributes of the SNMP agent in the same page. For information on adding Custom Monitors, refer to Custom Monitors topic.

• Connects to Telnet port (default 23)and checks its availability.

• Monitors response time and updates the status based on a given threshold.

Monitors the availability and performance of FTP/SFTP monitor. In addition, it monitors Connection Time, Login Time, File Transfer, File Transfer Speed, Full Transaction and Files & Directories located in the Home Directory.

Connection Time: Time taken by Applications Manager to connect to FTP server.

Login Time: Time taken by Applications Manager to login to FTP server.

File Transfer: It is the time taken for a file to either upload (mput) or download (mget) to a FTP server. In addition, the file size is also monitored while being uploaded or downloaded.

File Transfer Speed: It is the time taken by a particular file transfered to (mput) or from (mget) a FTP server.

Full Transaction: This provides the number of uploads/downloads that was completed correctly.

Files & Directory (Home Directory): This provides the number of files and directories that were present in the FTP server.

Monitors the availability and performance of LDAP server. It monitors the Login Time attribute - the time taken for a user to log in to the LDAP server. In addition, it also monitors Search Details and Search Results Details.

The 'Search Details' section displays the time taken for a search to execute and the total response time. The total response time is the login time plus the time taken for a search in the LDAP server.

The 'Search Results Details' displays the search result row count which displays the total rows returned after a search was executed and the search result matching details which displays whether it was a success or a failure.

Network Monitors

AB Client Sessions

AB Client Sessions is the number of connected Address Book client sessions.

DS Notify Queue Size

NTFRS Process Monitors

NTFRS CPU Usage

Percentage of elapsed time that all of the threads of NTFRS process used the processor to execute instructions. An instruction is the basic unit of execution in a computer, a thread is the object that executes instructions, and a process is the object created when a program is run. Code executed to handle some hardware interrupts and trap conditions is included in this count.

NTFRS Handle Count

Total number of handles the NTFRS process has open. This number is the sum of the handles currently open by each thread in the process.

NTFRS Process File Reads

Rate at which the NTFRS process is reading bytes from I/O operations. This property counts all I/O activity generated by the NTFRS process to include file, network, and device I/Os.

NTFRS Process File Writes

Rate at which the NTFRS process is writing bytes to I/O operations. This property counts all I/O activity generated by the NTFRS process to include file, network, and device I/Os

NTFRS Process Memory

Amount of memory in bytes that a NTFRS process needs to execute efficiently—for an operating system that uses page-based memory management. If the system does not have enough memory (less than the working set size), thrashing occurs. If the size of the working set is not known, use NULL or 0 (zero).

System Monitors

CPU Utilization

Percentage of time that the processor is executing a non-idle thread. This property was designed as a primary indicator of processor activity. It is calculated by measuring the time that the processor spends executing the thread of the idle process in each sample interval and subtracting that value from 100%.

Disk Utilization

It is calculted as follows ((size-freesize)/size)*100 where size-----It is the total Size of the disk drive on Logical Disk freesize---Space, in bytes, available on the logical disk

Memory Utilization

It is calculated as follows ((TotalVisibleMemorySize- FreePhysicalMemory)/TotalVisibleMemorySize)*100
where

TotalVisibleMemorySize- Total amount, in kilobytes, of physical memory available to the operating system. This value does not necessarily indicate the true amount of physical memory, but what is reported to the operating system as available to it.

FreePhysicalMemory- Number, in kilobytes, of physical memory currently unused and available.

Number of Processes

Number of process contexts currently loaded or running on the operating system.

OS Processor Queue Length

Number of threads in the processor queue. There is a single queue for processor time even on computers with multiple processors. Unlike the disk counters, this property counts ready threads only, not threads that are running.

LSASS Process Monitors

LSASS CPU Usage

Percentage of elapsed time that all of the threads of LSASS process used the processor to execute instructions. An instruction is the basic unit of execution in a computer, a thread is the object that executes instructions, and a process is the object created when a program is run. Code executed to handle some hardware interrupts and trap conditions is included in this count.

LSASS Handle Count

Total number of handles the LSASS process has open. This number is the sum of the handles currently open by each thread in the LSASS process.

LSASS Process File Reads

Rate at which the LSASS process is reading bytes from I/O operations. This property counts all I/O activity generated by the LSASS process to include file, network, and device I/Os.

LSASS Process File Writes

Rate at which the LSASS process is writing bytes to I/O operations. This property counts all I/O activity generated by the LSASS process to include file, network, and device I/Os

LSASS Process Memory

Amount of memory in bytes that a LSASS process needs to execute efficiently—for an operating system that uses page-based memory management. If the system does not have enough memory (less than the working set size), thrashing occurs. If the size of the working set is not known, use NULL or 0 (zero).
