Measures reported by SIOSDKJobTest

For ease of use and configuration, the SIOS DataKeeper manages mirrors through an entity called a job. A job is a logical grouping of related mirrors and servers. This feature allows you to create a job for complex repetitive tasks and run the tasks quickly from the SIOS DataKeeper user interface. If a job does not run the tasks quickly due to any fatal errors, the mirrors grouped under that job will experience the slowdown and processing-bottleneck. As a result, the synchronization between the mirrors will be paused temporarily or broken forever. To avoid such unpleasant events, it is necessary that the jobs should be continuously monitored. This where the SIOSDKJobTest test helps administrators!

This test auto-discovers the jobs created on the SIOS DataKeeper, and reports the current status of each job. This way, this test proactively is alerted to the administrators. In addition, this test also reveals the type of mirroring that each job performs and the disk space allocated for each job.

Outputs of the test : One set of results for each job created on the SIOS DataKeeper being monitored.

Descriptor of the test : Job ID

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Job_state Indicates the current status of this job.  

The values that this measure can report and their corresponding numeric values have been discussed below:

Numeric Value Measure Value
-6 Invalid
0 No mirror
1 Mirroring
2 Mirror is resyncing
3 Mirror is broken
4 Mirror is paused
5 Resync is pending

Note:

By default, this measure reports the Measure Values mentioned above while indicating the current status of each job. However, the graph of this measure is indicated using the numeric equivalents. The detailed diagnosis of this measure reveals the name of the server and source volumes and the name and IP address of the source and target systems.
Mirror_type Indicates the type of mirroring performed by this job.  

The values that this measure can report and their corresponding numeric values have been discussed below:

Numeric Value Measure Value
0 No Mirror
1 Synchronous
2 Asynchronous

Note:

By default, Measure Values mentioned above while indicating the type of mirroring performed by each job. However, the graph of this measure is indicated using the numeric equivalents.
Disk_space Indicates the amount of space allocated for this job. GB
