Description
Configure process level memory monitoring. you can specify user-configurable thresholds for monitoring the Virtual Memory Size (VSZ) of processes. Events are categorized based on severity, depending on the detected anomaly. The system classifies event severity as Minor, Major, or Critical.
The system uses an algorithm to identify the processes that are likely to exceed the specified thresholds, reducing false alarm triggers. The algorithm evaluates the memory conditions by comparing the free_count and cache_count against predefined target and user-configurable thresholds.
The remaining statements are explained separately.
Options
| frequency | Specify the frequency of system level memory monitoring. You can specify the frequency in days, hours or minutes. Possible values: 1 through 65535. |
| minor-event | Indicates a non-critical event that, if left unchecked, may cause an interruption in service or degradation in performance but does not significantly affect the device. |
| major-event | Indicates an event that, if left unchecked, may result in significant loss of service or interruption of traffic. |
| critical-event | Indicates an event that, if left unchecked, may result in serious loss of service or interruption of traffic. In case a critical event is triggered, you can terminate the process but only if the device is running out of memory. |
