Monitoring the ztC Edge System

Monitor the host operating system of the ztC Edge system for information about OS performance (for example, CPU usage). After you set a monitoring parameter, its value is updated every 30 seconds.

To set and view parameters for monitoring the host operating system

  1. In the ztC Console, click Physical Machines in the left-hand navigation panel.
  2. In the lower panel, click the Monitor tab.

    The Monitor tab displays monitoring information for each running node.

  3. To enable monitoring of a parameter on each running node, activate the Enabled box in the leftmost column for that parameter.
  4. Set the parameter values, if applicable:

    ParameterCPU Usage and Memory Utilization. Display value (not settable).

    Units—Percentage (%); the maximum is 100%. Display value (not settable).

    Range:

    Low—The low threshold of the range. Its value can be 0 or any positive number. The value applies to both nodes.
    High—The high threshold of the range. Its value can be 0 or any positive number. The value must be greater than the Low value. The value applies to both nodes.
    By default, range values are empty. To enter a value, click the cell space in the Low or High column of the parameter row. After you click the space, a box appears for you to type a value.

    CallHome—A call-home message is sent to your authorized Stratus service representative when a value outside of the range is detected on either node.

    E-Alert/Trap—An email alert (e-Alert) and an SNMP trap are sent when a value outside of the range is detected on either node.

    First Seen—Date and time when the parameter value was first detected in the last 24 hours on an individual node. Display value (not settable).

    Last Seen—Date and time when the parameter value was last detected in the last 24 hours on an individual node. Display value (not settable).

    Last Event—The last threshold violation on an individual node: Low or High. An empty cell indicates that a threshold violation has not occurred. Display value (not settable).

    Incident Count—The number of times the range was exceeded in the last 24 hours on one node. Display value (not settable).

    Current Value—Indicates one of the following (display value; not settable).

    Status—Status for the parameter on one node. Display value (not settable).

  5. Click Save to save changes, or click Reset to cancel any unsaved changes.
