NOF API Verbs
QUERY_MDS_STATISTICS
Number of locally originated alerts sent using the MDS transport system.
alert_errors_rcvd
Number of error messages received by MDS indicating a delivery failure for a message containing an alert.
uncorrelated_errors_rcvd
Number of error messages received by MDS indicating a delivery failure for a message containing an alert.
Delivery failure occurs when the error message could not be correlated to an alert on the MDS send alert
queue. MDS maintains a fixed-size queue where it caches alerts sent to the problem determination focal point.
Once the queue reaches maximum size, the oldest alert will be discarded and replaced by the new alert. If a
delivery error message is received, MDS attempts to correlate the error message to a cached alert so that the
alert may be held until the problem determination focal point is restored.
Note
The two counts alert_errors_rcvd and uncorrelated_errors_rcvd can be used to check
that the size of the send alert queue (specified on DEFINE_NODE) is appropriate.
If the value of uncorrelated_errors_rcvd increases over time, this indicates that the
send alert queue size is too small.
mds_mus_rcvd_local
Number of MDS_MUs received from local applications.
mds_mus_rcvd_remote
Number of MDS_MUs received from remote nodes using the MDS_RECEIVE and MSU_HANDLER
transaction programs.
mds_mus_delivered_local
Number of MDS_MUs successfully delivered to local applications.
mds_mus_delivered_remote
Number of MDS_MUs successfully delivered to a remote node using the MDS_SEND transaction program.
parse_errors
Number of MDS_MUs received which contained header format errors.
failed_deliveries
Number of MDS_MUs this node failed to deliver.
ds_searches_performed
Number of Directory Services searches used to locate the next hop for an MDS_MU. (Significant for network
nodes only).
unverified_errors
Number of routing errors due to using unverified (local Directory Services search) data for determining the
next hop for an MDS_MU. Each time one of these errors occurs, Directory Services must repeat the search
using either a Central Directory Search or a broadcast search mechanism. (Significant for network nodes
only).
