ALERT_LIMIT

Use the ALERT_LIMIT parameter in CQMPARMS to control the alerts behavior of your Query Monitor Subsystem.

Description

The maximum number of alerts (n) that can be queued for the CAE Agent alert processor. When the alert limit has been reached, no more alerts are queued and all subsequent alerts are discarded.

Tip:
  • The alert system is not designed to be a high-volume system. An alert is a condition that requires short-term attention. Alert criteria should not generate more than 3 alerts per second, at peak.
  • As you increase the value specified for the ALERT_LIMIT parameter, the Query Monitor Subsystem requires greater amounts of storage for the additional alert data retained.
  • The CAE Agent alert processor drains the queue of alerts at a rate of once every 5000 milliseconds. If you need to alter this rate, contact IBM® Software Support.
