loadwarning Event Trigger

Usage

- loadwarning  triggertype  system available_capacity

The variable triggertype represents whether trigger is custom (triggertype=0) or internal (triggertype=1).



Note    For this trigger, triggertype=0.

The variable system represents the name of the system.

The variable available_capacity represents the system's AvailableCapacity attribute. (AvailableCapacity=Capacity-sum of Load for system's online groups.)

Description

Invoked when a system becomes overloaded because the load of the system's online groups exceeds the system's LoadWarningLevel attribute for an interval exceeding the LoadTimeThreshold attribute. For example, say the Capacity is 150, the LoadWarningLevel is 80, and the LoadTimeThreshold is 300. Also, the sum of the Load attribute for all online groups on the system is 135. Because the LoadWarningLevel is 80, safe load is 0.80*150=120. Actual system load is 135. If system load stays above 120 for more than 300 seconds, the LoadWarningLevel trigger is invoked.

Using this trigger to notify the administrator of the critical event enables him or her to switch some service groups to another system, ensuring that no one system is overloaded.

This event trigger is non-configurable.
