Monitoring
This section contains commands used to monitor system performance and the status of tasks, managers, applications,
and various other software components. Most of the procedure commands are useful for both maintenance and
diagnotics.
and various other software components. Most of the procedure commands are useful for both maintenance and
diagnotics.
There is no limit to the frequency that any of the individual commands or procedures can be implemented, however, the
organization of tasks into three unique sets of procedures suggests a recommendation for minimal implementation:

Daily – Standard Health Check
Monthly System Maintenance
Semi-Annual Check
Daily - Standard Health Check
The standard health check is divided into three independent procedures:
Health Check - Hardware & Physical Layer
Health Check - System & Performance
Health Check - SGSN-Specific Status & Performance
Health Check - Hardware & Physical Layer
The first set of commands are useful for monitoring the hardware status for the entire system. The second set of
commands check the status of hardware elements within the chassis and provide some verification of the physical layer
status. The operational parameters for the hardware are included in the Hardware Installation and Administration
Guide. Note that all hardware elements generate alarms in the case of failure.
