Abstract
Optimizing of performance data in a data processing system is provided by the use of data filters and alarms. Statistics to be monitored are a conglomeration of both system statistics and statistics made available by application programs, both on local and remote data processing systems. The statistics are filtered using combinations of arithmetic and boolean operators. A single filtered condition can invoke multiple alarm responses, and multiple alarm conditions can trigger the same alarm response. Feedback of filtered statistics is provided so that such statistics can be monitored and recorded in the same manner as normal system statistics.
