Type X (General Alert) Entry

Type X (general alert) entries, described in the following table, contain 94 to 204 bytes and supply information about the general alerts generated. When these records are written depends on how you specified the ALWRITE parameter in the INITPRM member or file—at the end of the interval when the general alerts occur, or when the logging I/O buffer is full.

Note: There is an 84-byte header + 10 bytes for each threshold exceeded. For LU monitors, there are 30 additional bytes for the FORAPPL, FORLINE, and FORPU selection parameters.

Length	Offset	Type	Description

8	0	N	Time alert was recorded
8	8	C	Name of monitor recording alert
8	16	C	NSYXNAME (name of cross-region that issued the alert)
8	24	C	Resource name
48	32	C	User-specified description of alert
1	80	N	Resource type: X'00' - application program X'04' - NCP X'08' - line X'0C' - cluster X'10' - LU X'14' - virtual route X'40' - TIC3 physical link X'41' - TIC3 logical PU X'42' - NTRI logical link X'43' - NTRI physical link X'44' - X.25 MCH line X'45' - X.25 MCH PU X'46' - X.25 virtual circuit X'47' - Frame Relay physical link X'48' - Frame Relay logical link X'49' - Frame Relay PU X'4A' - Ethernet physical link







1	81	N	Routing destination flags: X'02' - AccuMaster X'04' - NetView X'08' - SMF X'10' - Log X'20' - console X'40' - local X'80' - global X'FF' - all of the above




2	82	N	Number of variable-value pairs in this record
Note: Up to and including the above, the type X record length is fixed. The variable length can be determined by multiplying the number of variable value pairs by the length of the variable value pair entry (in the following row).
10	84	N	Variable-value pair
1		N	Variable type: X'00' - average host response time X'04' - average network response time X'08' - average user response time X'0C' - worst host response time X'10' - worst network response time X'14' - byte rate per second X'18' - transaction rate per minute X'1C' - NCP cycle utilization X'20' - NCP buffer utilization X'24' - NCP channel hold queue length X'28' - message rate per minute X'2C' - PIU segment rate per minute X'30' - error count X'34' - output queue length X'38' - utilization X'3C' - number of sessions X'40' - virtual route blocked/held X'44' - FORAPPL (if resource type is LU) X'4C' - FORLINE (if resource type is LU) X'50' - FORCLUSTER (if resource type is LU)
			Line and PU Resources: X'A0' - retransmit messages X'A1' - retransmit bytes
			NTRI Resources: X'A0' - TIC utilization X'A1' - Iframes/minute X'A2' - bytes/second X'A3' - outbound queue length X'A4' - retransmit frames X'A5' - retransmit bytes X'A6' - congestion count X'A7' - active connections X'A8' - time outs
			X.25 Resources: X'A0' - line utilization X'A1' - Iframes/minute X'A2' - outbound queue length X'A3' - packets/minute



			Frame Relay Resources: X'A0' - Iframes/minute X'A1' - bytes/second X'A2' - retransmit frames X'A3' - retransmit bytes X'A4' - outbound queue length X'A5' - discarded frames X'A6' - forward congestion X'A7' - backward congestion






			Ethernet Resources: X'A0' - Iframes/minute X'A1' - bytes/second X'A2' - outbound queue length X'A3' - congestion count X'A4' - transmission deferred X'A5' - one collision X'A6' - multiple collisions X'A7' - discarded IP frames






			TIC3 Resources: X'A0' - Iframes/minute X'A1' - bytes/second X'A2' - retransmit Iframes X'A3' - retransmit bytes X'A4' - time outs X'A5' - rejected frames




1		N	Operator type: X'80' - = X'40' - < X'20' - >
4		N	User-specified threshold
4		N	Current reported value
Note: If resource type is LU, the first three variable value pairs are types 44, 4C and 50. These represent the application, line, and cluster for the LU. In each case, the user-specified threshold and current reported value shows an eight-byte application, line, or cluster name.
