Use DNS attributes to create situations to monitor DNS (Domain Name Server) server activity and performance. If the service being monitored is not installed or if the service is minimally loaded most attributes report 0 values.
DNS Memory is a single-instance attribute group.
Caching Memory The total caching memory used by DNS server. Valid values are positive integers in the range 0 to 2147483647 and can include the use of the *AVG, *MIN, *MAX, or *SUM functions. Note: the value 2147483647 indicates Value_Exceeds_Maximum and the value -2147483648 indicates Value_Exceeds_Minimum.
Database Node Memory The total database node memory used by DNS server. Valid values are positive integers in the range 0 to 2147483647 and can include the use of the *AVG, *MIN, *MAX, or *SUM functions. Note: the value 2147483647 indicates Value_Exceeds_Maximum and the value -2147483648 indicates Value_Exceeds_Minimum.
Nbstat Memory The total Nbstat memory used by DNS server. Valid values are positive integers in the range 0 to 2147483647 and can include the use of the *AVG, *MIN, *MAX, or *SUM functions. Note: the value 2147483647 indicates Value_Exceeds_Maximum and the value -2147483648 indicates Value_Exceeds_Minimum.
Record Flow Memory The total record flow memory used by DNS server. Valid values are positive integers in the range 0 to 2147483647 and can include the use of the *AVG, *MIN, *MAX, or *SUM functions. Note: the value 2147483647 indicates Value_Exceeds_Maximum and the value -2147483648 indicates Value_Exceeds_Minimum.
System Name The managed system name. The form should be hostname:agent_code.
Examples include spark:KNT or deux.raleigh.ibm.com:KNT.
In workspace queries, this attribute should be set equal to the value $NODE$ in order to populate the workspace with data. This attribute is generally not included in situations, unless there is a need to customize the situation for a specific managed system.
TCP Message Memory The total TCP message memory used by DNS server. Valid values are positive integers in the range 0 to 2147483647 and can include the use of the *AVG, *MIN, *MAX, or *SUM functions. Note: the value 2147483647 indicates Value_Exceeds_Maximum and the value -2147483648 indicates Value_Exceeds_Minimum.
Timestamp The date and time the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server samples the data.
UDP Message Memory The total UDP message memory used by DNS server. Valid values are positive integers in the range 0 to 2147483647 and can include the use of the *AVG, *MIN, *MAX, or *SUM functions. Note: the value 2147483647 indicates Value_Exceeds_Maximum and the value -2147483648 indicates Value_Exceeds_Minimum.
