HP XP P9000 Performance Advisor Software - Manual (Page 155)

Description Screen ele-
ments
This list displays the following options:
• Time posted (default selection): If this option is selected, the time stamps of when the re-
cords are posted on the Alarm History screen are displayed. A record for a component
is first posted on the Alarm History screen when the following conditions are met:
• Alarm is enabled on the component.
• Performance data collection is in progress.
P9000 Performance Advisor pings the component in the next data collection cycle to re-
ceive its current performance value, and also posts a new record on the Alarm History
screen. P9000 Performance Advisor again posts a new record for the same component
and displays the new time of posting under Time Posted when one of the following con-
ditions is met:
• The alarm is disabled or there are no I/Os transactions on the component.
• The performance of a component rises or drops below the set threshold level.
• Time updated: If this option is selected, the time stamps when P9000 Performance Advisor
last collected the latest performance values for all the components are displayed.
• Time dispatched: If this option is selected, the time stamps when P9000 Performance
Advisor dispatched the alarm notifications are displayed.
If a record is showing a blank entry for any of these time stamps, that particular record is
skipped during the filtering phase. Assuming that the I/Os transactions are not happening
on a particular component, and the alarm is also disabled. In such a case, the Time Updated
displays a blank entry for that component record. Hence, the record is skipped when you
filter based on Time Updated option.
Time Stamp list
This list displays the following options:
• All: This option is for viewing both the serious and the recovery alarms.
• Recovery Alarm: This option is for viewing records that are logged for alarm notifications
dispatched after the performance of a component dropped below the set threshold limit.
• Serious Alarm: This option is for viewing records that are logged for alarm notifications
dispatched when the performance of a component rises beyond the set threshold limit.
An alarm notification is dispatched only the first time when the performance of a compon-
ent goes beyond the set threshold limits.
