Use File Trend attributes to monitor the growth rate in file space usage, by both change and absolute size change, over various monitoring periods. File Trend is a multiple-instance attribute group. You cannot mix these attributes with those of any other multiple-instance attribute group.
The File Trend attributes monitor the discrete files only and not subdirectories.
When creating situations using the File Trend attribute group you must supply values for the following attributes to restrict the monitoring for the situation:
Situations must contain only one row of filter data in the situations formula. If more than one row is provided the results are undefined.
Attributes The file attributes. 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: -1 indicates Unknown.
% Change Average The percentage of change for the averaging take sample interval. Note: -1 indicates Unknown and 2147483647 indicates Value_Exceeds_Maximum.
% Change Last Hour The percentage rate of growth over the last hour. Valid format is a numeric string in the range 0 to 100 (expressing a percentage). Note: -1 indicates Unknown and 2147483647 indicates Value_Exceeds_Maximum.
% Change Last Interval The percentage rate of growth over the last interval. Valid format is a numeric string in the range 0 to 100 (expressing a percentage). Note: -1 indicates Unknown and 2147483647 indicates Value_Exceeds_Maximum.
% Change Total The percentage rate of growth change since monitoring began. Valid format is a numeric string in the range 0 to 100 (expressing a percentage). Note: -1 indicates Unknown and 2147483647 indicates Value_Exceeds_Maximum.
% Used The percentage of the entire disk resource that a particular file takes. Valid format is a numeric string in the range 0 to 100 (expressing a percentage). Note: -1 indicates Unknown and 2147483647 indicates Value_Exceeds_Maximum.
Current Size The current size of the file. This attribute is the 64-bit version of Current Size. Note: -1 indicates Unknown and 9223372036854775807 indicates Value_Exceeds_Maximum.
Current Size (Superseded) The current size of the file. 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: -1 indicates Unknown and 2147483647 indicates Value_Exceeds_Maximum.
Date Time Created The date and time the file was created.
Use simple text strings as described above. For example, 1101009130500000 expresses October 9, 2010, 1:05:00 pm.
Date Time Last Modified The date and time the file was last modified.
Free Space Exhausted Hours The time until current free space on the volume is exhausted based on the size change rate over the last hour. If there is no size change detected over the last hour then the Free Space Exhausted Hours value is zero(0). Note: -1 indicates Unknown and 2147483647 indicates Value_Exceeds_Maximum.
Sampling Interval The time between successive samples. 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: -1 indicates Unknown and 2147483647 indicates Value_Exceeds_Maximum.
Sampling Number The number of intervals that are sampled to get an average. Valid values are positive integers in the range 2 to 2147483647 and can include the use of the *AVG, *MIN, *MAX, or *SUM functions.
Server 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.
Size Change Average The average absolute file size change. This attribute is the 64-bit version of Size Change Average. Note: -1 indicates Unknown and 9223372036854775807 indicates Value_Exceeds_Maximum.
Size Change Average (Superseded) The average absolute file size change. 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: -1 indicates Unknown and 2147483647 indicates Value_Exceeds_Maximum.
Size Change Last Hour The average absolute file size change over the last hour. This attribute is the 64-bit version of Size Change LastHour. Note: -1 indicates Unknown and 9223372036854775807 indicates Value_Exceeds_Maximum.
Size Change Last Hour (Superseded) The average absolute file size change over the last hour. 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: -1 indicates Unknown and 2147483647 indicates Value_Exceeds_Maximum.
Size Change Last Interval The average absolute file size change over the last interval. This attribute is the 64-bit version of Size_Change_LastInterval. Note: -1 indicates Unknown and 9223372036854775807 indicates Value_Exceeds_Maximum.
Size Change Last Interval (Superseded) The average absolute file size change over the last interval. 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: -1 indicates Unknown and 2147483647 indicates Value_Exceeds_Maximum.
Size Change Total The absolute file size change since monitoring began expressed as a percentage. This attribute is the 64-bit version of Size Change Total. Note: -1 indicates Unknown and 9223372036854775807 indicates Value_Exceeds_Maximum.
Size Change Total (Superseded) The absolute file size change since monitoring began expressed as a percentage. Valid values are positive integers in the range of 0 to 2147483647 and can include the use of the *AVG, *MIN, *MAX, or *SUM functions. Note: -1 indicates Unknown and 2147483647 indicates Value_Exceeds_Maximum.
Timestamp The date and time the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server samples the data.
Watch Directory The name of the Watch Directory. Any changes to any files in the directory will be detected. Valid format is a text string of up to 260 characters. For example, C:\ADMIN\USAGE. A filter value is required for this attribute in situations using either the File Change attribute group or the File Trend attribute group. This attribute monitors the discrete files only and not subdirectories.

A filter value is required for this attribute in situations using either the File Change attribute group or the File Trend attribute group. This attribute monitors the discrete files only and not subdirectories.
Watch File The path and name of the Watch File. Valid format is a text string of up to 260 characters. For example, usage.log. A filter value is required for this attribute in situations using either the File Change attribute group or the File Trend attribute group. This attribute monitors the discrete files only and not subdirectories.
