eG Monitoring
 

Measures reported by PrntrQMntrTest

This test continuously monitors the print queues on the AIX servers and reports the number of queues in different states.

Outputs of the test : One set of results for the host being monitored.

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
No_of_ready Indicates the number of queues that are currently ready to accept new jobs. Number  
No_of_running Indicates the number of queues that are currently executing the jobs. Number The detailed diagnosis of this measure reveals the details on the name of the print queue, the job number, the names of the files to be printed, name of the user who submitted the print jobs, the number of pages that were printed, the percentage of jobs that were completed, the number of thousand-bytes blocks in the file to be printed, the number of copies of the files to be printed and the order in which the print jobs are in the queue.
No_of_waiting Indicates the number of queues that are waiting to executing the jobs. Number The queues move to the waiting state when the printer is unable to continue printing due to insufficient papers, offline, jammed, or wiring problems. Therefore, a high value of this measure could cause the processing bottleneck on the server.
No_of_down Indicates the number of queues in the down state. Number In the down state, queues will accept the print jobs, but the jobs will not be processed until the queue is up. Once the queue is up, the received jobs will be executed in order. The detailed diagnosis of this measure reveals the name of the print queue and the name of the printer device.
No_of_init Indicates the number of queues that are currently initializing. Number A high value for measure could indicate that many queues are currently experiencing initialization problems.
No_of_sending Indicates the number of queues that are currently sending data to a remote host using the rembak command, socket program or MarkNet software. Number  
No_of_get_host Indicates the number of queues in the Gethost state. Number In the Gethost state, the queues will be in the process of determining the requests from the external servers.
No_of_connect Indicates the number of queues in the Connect state. Number In the Connect state, the queues will be in the process of establishing connections with a remote server.
No_of_busy Indicates the number of queues in the busy state. Number  
No_of_queued Indicates the number of queues in the Queued state. Number Queued state is reported when the new job is assigned to the queue but the queue is busy in printing the another job.

The detailed diagnosis of this measure reveals the details on the name of the print queue, the job number, the names of the files to be printed, name of the user who submitted the print jobs, the number of pages that were printed, the percentage of jobs that were completed, the number of thousand-bytes blocks in the file to be printed, the number of copies of the files to be printed and the order in which the print jobs are in the queue.
No_of_others Indicates the number of queues in other state. Number The detailed diagnosis of this measure reveals the details on the name of the print queue, the job number, the names of the files to be printed, name of the user who submitted the print jobs, the number of pages that were printed, the percentage of jobs that were completed, the number of thousand-bytes blocks in the file to be printed, the number of copies of the files to be printed and the order in which the print jobs are in the queue.
