  • PageFile Used >70% (Suggests Not Enough Paging Space) - Group(Memory) Type(UsedPageFilePercent) Trigger(>70%)
  • Paging Space >95% - Group(Memory) Type(UsedPageFilePercent) Trigger(>95%)

Contains the following rules:

  • Optional Process (aixmibd) Does Not Exist - Type(Process By Name) Process(aixmibd) Trigger(DoesNotExist)
  • Optional Process (hostmibd) Does Not Exist - Type(Process By Name) Process(hostmibd) Trigger(DoesNotExist)
  • Optional Process (rpc.lockd) Does Not Exist - Type(Process By Name) Process(rpc.lockd) Trigger(DoesNotExist)
  • Optional Process (rpc.statd) Does Not Exist - Type(Process By Name) Process(rpc.statd) Trigger(DoesNotExist)
  • Optional Process (sendmail) Does Not Exist - Type(Process By Name) Process(sendmail) Trigger(DoesNotExist)
  • Optional Process (snmpd) Does Not Exist - Type(Process By Name) Process(snmpd) Trigger(DoesNotExist)
  • Optional Process (snmpmibd) Does Not Exist - Type(Process By Name) Process(snmpmibd) Trigger(DoesNotExist)
