<%NUMBERING1%>.<%NUMBERING2%>.<%NUMBERING3%> PRTG Manual: SNMP IBM System X Physical Memory Sensor

IBM Systems Director Platform Agent

This sensor requires the IBM Systems Director Platform Agent on the target system.

For more information, see the Knowledge Base: What are the requirements to monitor IBM System x?

IPv6

This sensor supports IPv6.

Performance impact

This sensor has a very low performance impact.

Lookups

This sensor uses lookups to determine the status values of one or more channels.

Knowledge Base

• Knowledge Base: What are the requirements to monitor IBM System x?
• Knowledge Base: IBM System X sensors could not find any disk/data on this device (PE187/PE188/PE194)

Name

The name of the memory module that this sensor monitors.

Caption

The caption of the memory module that this sensor monitors.

Serial Number

The serial number of the memory module that this sensor monitors.

Size

The size of the memory module that this sensor monitors.

Primary Channel

Select a channel from the list to define it as the primary channel. In the device tree, PRTG displays the last value of the primary channel below the sensor's name. The available options depend on what channels are available for this sensor.

You can set a different primary channel later by clicking below a channel gauge on the sensor's Overview tab.

Graph Type

Define how this sensor shows different channels:

• Show channels independently (default): Show a graph for each channel.
• Stack channels on top of each other: Stack channels on top of each other to create a multi-channel graph. This generates a graph that visualizes the different components of your total traffic.
  You cannot use this option in combination with manual Vertical Axis Scaling (available in the channel settings).

Stack Unit

This setting is only visible if you select Stack channels on top of each other above.

Select a unit from the list. PRTG stacks all channels with this unit on top of each other. By default, you cannot exclude single channels from stacking if they use the selected unit. However, there is an advanced procedure to do so.

Controller Condition

The memory controller condition

• Up status: Completed, In Service, Ok, Power Mode
• Warning status: Dormant, Predictive Failure, Starting, Stressed
• Down status: Aborted, Degraded, Error, Lost Communication, No Contact, Non-Recoverable Error, Other, Stopped, Stopping, Supporting Entity In Error, Unknown

This channel is the primary channel by default.

Downtime

In the channel table on the Overview tab, this channel never shows any values. PRTG uses this channel in graphs and reports to show the amount of time in which the sensor was in the Down status

Power

The power status

• Up status: On
• Down status: Off
