Threshold-based Alerts

CA SYSVIEW issues alerts if a resource exceeds a usage limit or is in an undesirable state. You can set the thresholds by assigning values that issues an alert when the following scenarios occur:

• The percentage of CPU usage is greater than 90
• The amount of free common storage is less than 256 KB
• The CICSPROD is in the INACTIVE state
• The WebSphere MQ channel is in the STOPPED state

The THRESH command displays the current z/OS threshold values, which you can modify by overtyping the entry. The ALERTS command displays z/OS system data collection exception alerts for both warning and problem thresholds.

When a threshold value is exceeded, CA SYSVIEW logs the event and issues a warning message. The message could trigger automated operations using REXX programs and CA OPS/MVS, when installed.
