alert – A mechanism for notifying administrators when a managed resource experiences a status change or when a performance metric passes a user-specified threshold.
alert instance – A copy of an alert template that, when enabled, generates a particular kind of alert.
alert notification – A message sent to a target (such as an email address) as the result of an alert.
alert target – The destination for an alert notification and source of an alert response.
alert template – Generic definition of a specific event that can generate notifications. See also alert instance.
alert type – A template used to define special processing for alerts.
alert storm – The result of issuing many redundant alerts associated with a common or root occurrence.
alert suppression – The suppression of redundant alerts resulting from an alert storm.
availability – Indicates that a resource is accessible and responsive.
collection –
A named, predefined set of key performance indicators whose values are collected from monitored servers at the same time. Collections supply the performance and availability data shown on Sybase Control Center screens and charts. Use the scheduler to view a list of collections and to control which collections run, how often they run, and for how long.
event – An activity in the system such as a user logging in, a service starting or stopping, or a condition changing. You can use the alerts feature to detect and notify you about system events.
heat chart – A graphical view of resource availability in the current perspective.
job – A task performed by the scheduler in Sybase Control Center.
perspective – A named tab in Sybase Control Center that contains a collection of managed resources (such as servers) and a set of views associated with those resources. The views in a perspective are chosen by users of the perspective. You can create as many perspectives as you need and customize them to monitor and manage your resources. Perspectives allow you to group resources ways that make sense in your environment—by location, department, or project, for example.
repository – A storage area that archives the performance statistics
of your managed resources.
resource – A unique Sybase product component (such as a server) or a subcomponent.
schedule – The definition of a task (such as the collection of a set of statistics) and the time interval at which the task must execute in Sybase Control Center.
view – A window in a perspective that displays information about one or more managed resources. Some views also let you interact with managed resources or with Sybase Control Center itself. For example, the Perspective Resources view lists all the resources managed by the current perspective. Other views allow you to configure alerts, view the topology of a replication environment, and graph performance statistics.
