OpenEdge Management provides default rules to create rule sets for PAS for OpenEdge monitoring plans. A rule defines a performance standard for a resource and triggers alerts when the standard is not met. Each rule has a unique alert and the action associated with it.

The types of rules provided for PAS for OpenEdge are:
  • Rules with asynchronous alerts
  • Rules with polled alerts

Rules with asynchronous alerts – These rules trigger alerts when a specific event or condition is detected such as shutdown of a service, and do not have threshold values.

The rules with asynchronous alerts available for PAS for OpenEdge are:
Rule Triggers alerts when...
Progress Application Server Start Up The PAS for OpenEdge instance is started.
Progress Application Server Shut Down The PAS for OpenEdge instance is stopped.

Rules with polled alerts – These rules check (poll) a PAS for OpenEdge instance according to the time interval specified and trigger alerts when the instance performs outside the defined threshold value. The threshold values range from 1 to 100 percent.

The rules with polled alerts available for PAS for OpenEdge are:
Rule Triggers alerts when... Default threshold value
Progress Application Server Agents CPU Percentage The percentage of CPU utilized by all the PAS agents exceeds the threshold value. 80%
Progress Application Server Agents Memory The amount of physical memory consumed by all the PAS agents exceeds the threshold value. 80%
Progress Application Server Agents Utilization High The percentage of the number of agents utilized by each selected ABL application exceeds the threshold value. For more information, see Progress Application Server Agents Utilization High rule. 80%
Progress Application Server Sessions Utilization High The percentage of the number of sessions utilized by the selected ABL applications exceeds the threshold value. For more information, see Progress Application Server Sessions Utilization High rule. 80%
Progress Application Server Tomcat CPU Percentage The percentage of CPU utilized by the PAS Tomcat server exceeds the threshold value. 80%
Progress Application Server Tomcat Memory The amount of physical memory consumed by the PAS Tomcat server exceeds the threshold value. 80%
Progress Application Server Tomcat Virtual Memory The amount of virtual memory consumed by the PAS Tomcat server exceeds the threshold value. 80%

You cannot create rules for PAS for OpenEdge monitoring plans. However, you can edit the rules to reflect your resource monitoring objectives at any time. You can also group multiple rules of multiple resources logically to create a rule set and associate it with a monitoring plan.
