Control Center rules: Time value key needed

I currently have a Control Center rule setup for message ID's CCTR135I or CCTR138I. I want to be alerted if inserts or retrievals take 1 minute or more. I do not see a way to do this currently with the keys that are available. Right now, I have it setup as a linked rule, but that is not fulfilling my requirement. I believe that a time value key is needed in order to do this.

    What you desire is achievable now, in the supported 6.1 and 6.2 releases of IBM Sterling Control Center. :-)

    Let me explain.

    Control Center emits

    - CCTR135I Event insert took too long,

    - CCTR137I Event update took too long, and

    - CCTR138I Time Event Monitor took to retrieve EVENTS data took too long

    events when certain engine property values are exceeded. Settings you are able to change!

    So if you'd like to have a CCTR135I event generated if an insert takes more than a minute, you would just need to set an engine property accordingly.

    One caveat you should know is Control Center will emit at most one of these events per hour (per thread used to do database I/O).

    To affect CCTR135I events, specify the engine property INSERT_EVENT_DB_WARN_TIME and override the default value of 2000.

    To affect CCTR137I events, specify the engine property UPDATE_EVENT_DB_WARN_TIME and override the default value of 1000.

    To affect CCTR138I events, specify the engine property EVENT_MONITOR_SELECT_EVENT_TIME_WARNING and override the default value of 2000.

    The unit for all of these values is milliseconds, so to specify 1 minute you would use 60000.

    Note for changes to these engine properties to take effect, you must restart your system.
