Introduction to File Management System monitoring

For File Management System (FMS) events, you can configure the following metrics to provide specified levels of monitoring of specified events levels. Optionally, you can receive email notification when specified metrics cross specified thresholds. Configure FMS monitoring using either: FSC_HOME/monitoring/fscMonitorConfig.xml FMS monitoring administrative interface Metric Description All Routes Failed All routes to resources in the FMS topology are inaccessible. Expired Ticket The FSC Server encountered an expired ticket. Generic Error The FSC server threw a general error. Invalid Ticket The FSC server encountered an invalid ticket. Memory Collection Threshold Exceeded The Java virtual machine has detected that the memory usage of a memory pool is exceeding the collection usage threshold. Memory Usage Threshold Exceeded The Java virtual machine detects that the memory usage of a memory pool is exceeding the usage threshold. No Route Error A client or FCC is connector to the wrong FSC server process. Periodic Checks The periodic FSC network, local volume, performance, and configuration checks has detected an issue. Quarantined Dead Link A link between two resources in the FSC network topology was quarantined. Remote Admin Not Supported The Fms_BootStrap_Urls preference value is incorrect. For each metric the following information is collected: Date and time FSCID Message Log Each alert notification contains: Date Message Possible causes Recommended actions The MLD holder is used for the All Routes Failed metric and the alert notification trigger is a single event occurrence. The countable MLD holder is used for all other metrics and the alert notification is triggered when the number of events is greater than threshold values in a specified time period. The FSC_Critical_Events Monitoring_Summary MBean consolidates the event metrics and their corresponding values of the FSC process for display in one window of the Java EE administrative interface. The FSC_Critical_Events_Monitoring_Configuration MBean contains the Health_monitoring_mode attribute that you use to enable or disable the monitoring system. The FSCHealthDiagnostics MBean performs periodic health checks and critical event reasoning. Tip You should review all monitoring settings, ensuring the thresholds are set correctly for your site. If you do not know the optimum monitoring setting for any given critical event, set the value to COLLECT. Collect the data and review to determine normal activity levels. Then set notification values slightly higher than normal activity levels. Tip The contents of the email notifications are generated from the TC_ROOT/fsc/monitoring/fscMonitorConfigInfo.xml file. (This is a companion file to the fscMonitorConfig.xml file.) For a complete list of possible causes and recommended actions for server manager monitoring, see this file.
