ACS Process Status
When ACS evaluates this threshold, it examines the accounting records that it received during the
interval between the previous and current alarm evaluation cycle.
If one or more accounting records match, it calculates the time that has lapsed since the previous alarm
evaluation cycle. When it reaches two, three, or five minutes depending on the number of active
thresholds, ACS determines whether any ACS process has failed during that time.
If ACS detects one or more failures, an alarm is triggered. You can limit the check to particular processes
or a particular ACS instance or both.
Choose this category to define threshold criteria based on ACS process status. Modify the fields in the
Criteria tab as described in Table 12-17.
