"Threshold level"

[HP UNIX Professionals]

Hi Experts,

I am new to the HP UNIX.
I want to set the Threshold level for my HPUX Box (Not HP OVO)anybody know how to set the "Threshold level" for the following

1.CPU Usage

2.Disk Usage

3.Memory Usage

Is there any specific file is in for this task HPUX..?

Thanks in advance,

[Steven E. Protter]

Shalom,

Threashold for what?

If you are not using OVO or ITO alarmdef, you will first need to decide how to measure this information.

I assume you will use sar output.

However you will need a custom script to set reporting threasholds. This is a do it yourself project. It is not trivial. It is something a good systadmin with scripting skills can get done.

are you talking (perhaps) about the "Glance" settings?

Some clarification please

Hi Glance/sar/top are default tool for monitoring, but i want to resist the usage of CUP/disk/memory in a particular leval

Eg: Consider 100 GB disk we have, once 80% of disk is full, i have to get alert message susch as "Disk Usage is exceded the leval"

Hi,

>>Hence you're posting refering to "Threshold level" its a term mentioned or more used when you are having monitoring Application

like :- patrol,HP-OVO,Big Brother,

as per above application, you setup threashold level for "CPU""DISK" & MEM"

>>Is there any specific file is in for this task HPUX..?<<<<

As per HPUX OS level, D'not have.

either you can manually create some scripts and set-up some threshold level in the scripts to monitor and send email alerts.

Hi

Question: This a question about virtual guests?

What is your HP-UX version?

[OldSchool]

There is no "file" in the OS that sets these.

You'll have to

a) use sar, bdf and other tools to gather the information you wish to monitor

b)write scripts to parse the results of those commands for the data points you need

and

c) do any processing / emailing / notification that you desire.
