Column Headings Defined
Column headings in Table B-1 and Table B-3 are defined as follows:
Description states the parameter name and describes the parameter’s
function; for consumer parameters, lists the collector
parameters that gather the data displayed by this parameter
Required
Configuration
indicates configuration level at which a parameter becomes
active; many parameters require that advanced monitoring
options be enabled (see “Enabling Instrumentation and
Profiling Features” on page 3-10); parameters become
active at the following levels:
• Basic: parameter is active by default in all configurations
• Inst: parameter is only active if instrumentation
configuration was enabled (on the Configure Advance
Monitoring dialog, choose “Enable EJB Method Level,
Servlet Method Level, and Database SQL...”)
• Prof: parameter is only active if JVM performance was
configured (on the Configure Advance Monitoring dialog,
choose “Enable JVM Performance Data Collecting,
including GC Time, Threads Detail, and Memory Usage”)
• Meth: parameter is only active if Java method level
profiling was configured (on the Specify Java Class for
Method Level Profiling dialog, choose “Enable Advance
Java Class Method Level CPU Utilization Analysis”)
Parameter
Type
indicates the parameter type: standard (std) gathers and
displays a single data value; collector (coll) gathers multiple
data values but has no display capabilities; consumer (con)
displays values gathered by collector or standard
parameters. Some standards have collector properties.
Alarm1
Range
a
a. Border, Alarm1, and Alarm2 ranges that are also labeled inactive by default
may not be recommended ranges for the parameter.
specifies the thresholds for the first-level alarm; not
applicable to collector parameters
Alarm2
Range
a
specifies the thresholds for the second-level alarm; not
applicable to collector parameters
Scheduling
(poll time)
specifies how frequently the parameter will run and collect
data (polling cycle); not applicable to consumer parameters
Icon Style specifies whether the parameter is represented as a graph,
gauge, text box, stop light (signal), or boolean state
Unit specifies the unit of measure in which the parameter output
is expressed, such as a percentage, a number, or bytes
