Use Objects attributes to create situations that monitor the number of events, mutexes, processes, sections, semaphores, and threads. Objects is a multiple-instance attribute group. You cannot mix these attributes with those of any other multiple-instance attribute group.
Events The number of events on a system at the time of monitoring. Note that an event is any system or user action that causes notification or a log entry. 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.
Mutexes The number of mutexes on a system at the time of monitoring. This is an instantaneous count, not an average. The system uses mutexes to assure that only one section of code is executing per thread. 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.
Processes The number of active processes on a system at the time of monitoring. This is an instantaneous count, not an average. A process is a running program. 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.
Sections The number of sections on a system at the time of monitoring. A process creates sections in memory to store data. 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.
Semaphores The number of semaphores on a system at the time of monitoring. Semaphores allow threads access to data structures that they share with other threads. 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.
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.
Threads The number of threads on a system at the time of monitoring. Valid values are positive integers in the range 0 to 9999 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.
