The Rsp Time value specifies at what point a response using the
specified protocol is considered “slow.” For example, if Rsp Time
were set to 5000 milliseconds for HTTP, any response to an HTTP
request that took longer than 5000 milliseconds would be
considered “slow.” When the percentage of “slow” responses on a
given Server-Client connection exceeds the % Applied threshold
(see below), the Monitor generates an alarm on the connection.
The % Applied value specifies the maximum acceptable
percentage of responses exceeding the Rsp Time threshold on a
given connection using the specified protocol. When the percentage
of connections exceeding the Rsp Time threshold on a given
Server-Client connection exceeds the % Applied threshold, the
Monitor generates an alarm on the connection.
Generated alarms are written to the alarm log. Actions take place as a
result of generated alarms according to the options you have set on the
Alarms tab of the Options dialog box. See Managing Alarms on page
257 for details.
