CSA Group Information Technology - Open Systems Interconnection - Systems Management: Response Time Monitoring Function (Adopted ISO/IEC 10164-22:2000, first edition, 2000-04-15)

Scope This Recommendation  International Standard defines a systems management function which may be used by an application process in a centralized or decentralized environment to interact for the purposes of systems-management, as defined by CCITT Rec. X.700  ISO/IEC 7498-4. This Recommendation  International Standard defines the response time monitoring function that consists of services, functional units, generic definitions and protocols. It is positioned in the application layer of ITU-T Rec. X.200  ISO/IEC 7498 and is defined according to the model provided by ISO/IEC 9545. The role of systems management functions are described by ITU-T Rec. X.701  ISO/IEC 10040. This Recommendation  International Standard: establishes user requirements for the response time monitoring function; . establishes a model that relates the services and generic definitions provided by this function to user requirements; . defines the services provided by the function; . defines generic notification type; and . specifies the protocol that is necessary in order to provide the services. This Recommendation  International Standard does not: define the nature of any implementation intended to provide the response time monitoring function; . specify the manner in which management is accomplished by the use of the response time monitoring; . define the nature of any interactions which result in the use of the response time monitoring; . specify the services necessary for the establishment, normal and abnormal release of a management association; . preclude the definition of further notification types. The functions and the management information defined in this Recommendation  International Standard include: Summarization of the response time on any request of information and its management; . Definition of the relationship on response monitoring; . Setting and modification of the monitoring and the summarization conditions; . Scheduling of the monitoring and the summarization; and . Notification when response information or its statistical result is over a threshold. The functions and the management information defined in this Recommendation  International Standard do not include: Management information definitions for summarization of response time statistical; . How to retrieve response times locally (e.g., the test function to confirm response times); and . Local mechanisms to summarize information related to the response request and response.
