message archiving alert

This monitors how many messages are waiting to be archived for the table named in Source.

This alert defaults to sampling on the first pass after the daemon starts and every three minutes thereafter. To change the sampling interval, use the dbrate daemon command.

This is a single source alert. Additional sources create an error.

The Source has one choice: TIMEOUT.

In this mode, the Comparing field is the number of seconds because the oldest message in the message archive was written to the cache. That is, if there is a message that is waiting to be written to the external database for 20 minutes, the value would be 1200. All numerical comparisons are valid.

Note: Message archiving became internal starting with CIS 6.0 and is configured at Network Configurator. The MonitorD automatically loads and detects any changes to this configuration. You should not create your own message archiving alerts.
