Health Monitor MIB module.
The Health Monitor uses a model based on events of varying
severity and frequency, and predefined rules, to generate
a metric that represents a system's (and its subsystems')
level of health.
The events are typically internally generated notifications
in response to detrimental or correctional changes in the
state of the hardware or software of the system. Detrimental
events are classified under one of the following severity
levels:
Catastrophic - Causes or leads to system failure
Critical - Major subsystem or functionality failure
High - Potential for major impact to important
functions
Medium - Potential for minor impact to functionality
Low - Negligible impact to functionality
Whilst correctional events fall under the following
classification:
Positive - Not a fault event. May cause or lead to
the return of functionality
This MIB module provides information for tracking occurrences
of the above events, and presents the associated health
metric for the system and its component subsystems. |
