HA-MX System Defaults

Specifies the default delay in minutes between an alertable situation occurring and an alert actually being raised. The purpose of this is to avoid raising an alert in cases where the alertable situation is of short duration. The value specified here may be over-ridden by specific settings in the rules. This system default covers rules that return a special value such as *ACTIVE, *INACTIVE, and so on.

*NONE There is no delay. An alert is raised as soon as the selection criteria of the rule is met
1-1440 Specify the number of minutes of delay. When the selection criteria of a rule is met, an alert is raised after this amount of minutes provided the selection criteria continued to be met throughout the delay period. If at any time during the delay the selection criteria was found to no longer be met, the delay starts again from the next time the selection criteria is again met

This system default works under the same guidelines as the system default HMX/ALTDLYSTATUS but covers rules that return a numeric value.

*NONE There is no delay. An alert is raised as soon as the selection criteria of the rule is met
1-1440 Specify the number of minutes of delay. When the selection criteria of a rule is met, an alert is raised after this amount of minutes provided the selection criteria continued to be met throughout the delay period. If at any time during the delay the selection criteria was found to no longer be met, the delay starts again from the next time the selection criteria is again met

Specifies whether a duplicate alert may be raised if an alert is closed when the selection criteria that raised the alert are still met.

*NO The default action. Duplicate alerts are not raised. Another alert is only raised if the issue that raised the original alert is cleared and then occurs again. While waiting for the situation to clear, the Work with MIMIX Status display shows an alert status of closed
1-1440 If an alert is closed before the issue that raised the original alert is cleared, another alert is raised, subject to any delay setting in the ‘Alert delay’ parameter

Specifies the maximum age, in minutes, of completed audits that can be used by HA-MX Monitor. A value of up to 1440 minutes (1 day) can be specified.

If the most recently completed audit finished within the time specified, HA-MX Monitor will use information from that audit to populate the statistics listed below, and the Audit History Status (AUDSTS) statistic will be set to *AVAIL. If no audit has been completed within the time specified, the statistics listed below will be set to zero and the Audit History Status statistic will be set to *NOTAVAIL.

The statistics populated are:

AUDCMP Audit objects compared
AUDNOTCMP Audit objects not compared
AUDRCV Audit objects recovered
AUDNOTRCV Audit objects not recovered
AUDDETNE Audit objects detected not equal
AUDTOT Audit total objects selected
ADDSTS Audit history status

Specifies whether to allow automatic closing of alerts when the situation they are reporting no longer exists (i.e. the selection criteria of the rule that raised the alert is no longer met), and if so the default delay in minutes between an alertable situation no longer existing and the alert actually being closed. This system default covers rules that return a special value such as *ACTIVE, *INACTIVE and so on.

*OFF Alerts are not automatically closed
AUDTOT There is no delay and alerts are automatically closed as soon as the rule selection criteria is no longer met
1-1440 Specify the number of minutes of delay. When the rule selection criteria is no longer met, the alert is closed after this amount of minutes, provided the selection criteria continued to be no longer met throughout the delay

This system default works under the same guidelines as the system default HMX/CLSDLYSTATUS but covers rules that return a numeric value.

*OFF Alerts are not automatically closed
AUDTOT There is no delay and alerts are automatically closed as soon as the rule selection criteria is no longer met
1-1440 Specify the number of minutes of delay. When the rule selection criteria is no longer met, the alert is closed after this amount of minutes, provided the selection criteria continued to be no longer met throughout the delay

Specifies the run priority of the HA-MX Monitor.

*DFT The run priority specified by system default HAL/DFTMONPTY is used
1-99 Enter a specific run priority

Specifies the user profile used when running the HA-MX Monitor.

*JOBD The user profile in the STRMON job description is used. This value is shown in the HAL/ MONUSRPRF system default
user Enter a specific user profile
IMPORTANT: From IBM i 7.6 onwards. Do not specify a User Profile that has MFA enabled and Function QIBM_RUN_UNDER_USER_NO_AUTH denied as it will fail.

Specifies the interval, in seconds, between each check of the MIMIX rules. Enter a value in the range 30-900.

NOTE: The value entered for this system default is used to specify the next check time. If the value has been set and used by the monitor and you subsequently change this value to a smaller value, the original time value must expire before the new value comes into force.
