HP XP Performance Advisor Software - Manual (Page 130)

In every data collection cycle, HP XP P9000 Performance Advisor retrieves and compares the
current performance value of a component with the set threshold value. The time when this value
was retrieved and compared is shown under Time Updated. If the current performance value
exceeds the set threshold value, HP XP P9000 Performance Advisor does the following:
1. Posts a new record and displays the time of posting under Time Posted
2. Dispatches an alarm notification of type, P9000 Alarm to the intended recipient
3. Displays the time of dispatch under Time Dispatched
4. Monitors the component till its performance value drops below the set threshold value
5. Updates the time of monitoring under Time Updated
IMPORTANT: The time shown under Time Updated is in sync with the data collection cycle
frequency.
If the performance value of a component drops below the set threshold value, HP XP P9000
Performance Advisor does the following:
1. Posts a new record and displays the time of posting under Time Posted
2. Dispatches an alarm notification of type, P9000 Alarm – Good Information alarm to the
intended recipient
3. Displays the time of dispatch under Time Dispatched
