Parameters

Name

Type

Description

Alert Conditions

Execution Status

Text

Parameter that reflects the connection status to the JMX application server.

“OK” indicates successful connection to the JMX MBeanServer of the Java Application Server.

“Failed” indicates failure of connection to the JMX MBeanServer of the Java Application Server. The possible causes will be stated.

Alarm or Warning

Alarm

By default Alarm is enabled for RegExp “Failed”

Text Value

Text

Parameter displays the value of the specified attribute of the specified MBean object – when this attribute is a text type value.

“No data found” indicates that the specified MBean attribute is a numeric type value. In such a case, this parameter will be grey and it is the Numeric Value parameter that will display the polled values.

Alarm or Warning

Alarm

No default thresholds or alerts set

Numeric Value (HB)

Numeric

Displays the value of the specified attribute of the specified MBean object – when this attribute is a numeric type value (integer, float, etc.).

Unit: General numbers

“No data” indicates that the specified MBean attribute is a text type value and hence this parameter is in grey. In such a case, it is the Text Value parameter that will display the content polled.

Activate the thresholds on this parameter if a higher count is desirable.

Alarm or Warning

Alarm

No default thresholds or alerts set

Numeric Value (LB)

Numeric

Displays the value of the specified attribute of the specified MBean object – when this attribute is a numeric type value (integer, float, etc.).

Unit: General numbers

“No data” indicates that the specified MBean attribute is a text type value and hence this parameter is in grey. In such a case, it is the Text Value parameter that will display the content polled.

Activate the thresholds on this parameter if a lower count is desirable.

Alarm or Warning

Alarm

No default thresholds or alerts set

Thresholds can be set and modified on all parameters.

Note (HB) = "Higher is Better" and (LB) = "Lower is Better". HB and LB parameters will always display the same value since, basically, both represent the same value. The purpose of having two parameters for the same value is to be able to set different alert thresholds depending on the nature of the monitored object.
For instance, an alert can be set to be triggered on the HB parameter when the value dips too low (it breaches the lower threshold of the range) and an alert can be set on the LB parameter to go off when the value rises too high. The setting of alerts is flexible and can be done on either of the two parameters, on both, or on neither; it depends entirely on nature of the monitored object and the user's specific needs.
