Types of metrics and alerts

The following list describes the metrics that are available for your resource in the Configure Resource window: Metrics tab. Many of the default settings are arbitrary because each synchronization system has different behaviors and constraints, so the defaults may be inappropriate for your environment. You should carefully consider each metric and set each of them according to your needs.

  • CPU Usage (High Collection Interval)  

    • Alert When CPU Usage Exceeds The Given Threshold For The Given Number Of Seconds   The Threshold default is 100 percent. The Seconds default is 300.

  • Memory Usage (Medium Collection Interval)  

    • Alert When The Percentage Of Cache Pages Used Is Greater Than X Percent   The default is 100.

    • Alert When The Percentage Of Locked Cache Pages Is Greater Than X   The default is 80.

    • Alert When The Number Of Pages Being Swapped In And Out Per Second Exceeds The Given Threshold For The Given Number Of Seconds   The threshold default is 256. The seconds default is 120.

  • Network Usage (High Collection Interval)   Select this option to collect metrics about network usage in the server. You can view these metrics on the Machine Resources tab. See Monitoring tab: Machine Resources tab.

  • Synchronizations (High Collection Interval)   Select this option to collect metrics about synchronizations in the server. You can view these metrics on the Synchronization tab. See Monitoring tab: Synchronization tab.

    • Alert When Longest Active Synchronization Time Is Greater Than X(Seconds)   The default is 600.

    • Alert When The Number Of Failed Synchronizations Exceeds The Given Threshold For The Given Number Of Minutes   The threshold of failed synchronizations default is 20. The minutes default is 60.

  • Synchronization Throughput (High Collection Interval)   Select this option to collect metrics about synchronization throughput in the server. You can view these metrics on the Synchronization tab. See Monitoring tab: Synchronization tab

  • Error Rate (High Collection Interval)   Select this option to collect metrics about error rates in the server.

    • Alert When The Number Of Errors Exceeds The Given Threshold For The Given Number Of Minutes   The Threshold (Errors) default is 50. The Minutes default is 60.

  • Warning Rate (High Collection Interval)   Select this option to collect metrics about warning rates.

  • Database Connections In Use (High Collection Interval)   Select this option to collect metrics about the number of database connections in use in the server. You can view these metrics on the Consolidated Database tab. See Monitoring tab: Consolidated Database tab.

  • Free Disk Space For MobiLink Cache (Medium Collection Interval)   Select this option to collect metrics on the disk space available for MobiLink cache on the server. You can view these metrics on the Machine Resources tab. See Monitoring tab: Machine Resources tab.

    • Alert When Free Disk Space For MobiLink Cache Is Less Than X (MB)   The default is 100.

  • Longest Active Wait For Database Worker Thread (High Collection Interval)   Select this option to collect metrics on the longest active wait time for database worker threads in the server.

    • Alert When The Longest Active Wait For Database Worker Thread Is Greater Than X (Seconds)   The default is 300.

  • Longest Active Synchronization Time   Select this option to collect metrics on the longest active synchronization time in the server. You can view these metrics on the Synchronization tab. This metric should be configured for a high collection interval. See Monitoring tab: Synchronization tab.

  • Suppress Alerts For The Same Condition That Occur Within Minutes   Select this option to prevent receiving duplicate alerts within a specified time. The default is 30 minutes.
