Using Open Alert Thresholds

Thresholds are used by the Central Component to determine which CA MAT monitor data sets are important. The thresholds are not used if an alert was issued by a user.

A threshold value can be set for a specific job or a generic job group. All fields must be filled. The values tested are CPU time, I/O count, elapsed time, and the total service units consumed.

The threshold values are compared with the values from the measurement result and are considered on an or basis, as follows:

• If one of the values is reached or exceeded, the alert state is changed to OPEN.
• If the measurement results are all below the thresholds, the alert state is changed to CTHR (Closed by THResholds).
