Alarmdef definition

[Paul Szeto]

I am trying to use alarmdef to generate alarms for some kenel tables: TBL_FILE_LOCK_UTIL/TBL_BUFFER_CACHE_USED/TBL_SHMEM_TABLE_UTIL/TBL_FILE_TABLE_UTIL/TBL_INODE_CACHE_USED/TBL_MSG_TABLE_UTIL/TBL_PROC_TABLE_UTIL/TBL_SEM_TABLE_UTIL.

Have anybody tried doing that? What would be the alarmdef rules/syntax like? What would the 'type'(CPU, disk) be?

Specifically, for buffer_cache, which is defined in terms of dbc_min_pct and dbc_min_pct(two kernel percentages), can I use these variables in my alarmdef file? E.g.

rule TBL_BUFFER_CACHE_USED > RAMSIZE * dbc_max_pct * 80/100 prob 25

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
