Classification of States

Gyeeta adds a Classifier field named state to the following subsystems :

  • Host
    • CPU
    • Memory
    • Host State
  • Service
  • Process

The state field indicates the current state of the subsystem as determined by Gyeeta based on an algorithmic deduction.

Types of states classified​

The state can have be one of the following states :

  • Idle
  • Good
  • OK
  • Bad
  • Severe

Idle State​

This state indicates an idle or a mildly active subsystem. For example, in case of a Service, this state could mean the Service Queries are much lower than normal with no abnormal Response time (latency). Also the lower query count could not be deduced to some process issue.

Good State​

This state indicates an active subsystem but which is neither saturated nor too idle.

For example, in case of a Host, this state could mean the Host CPU, Memory statistics are around the baseline values and also, no process or service issues are seen.

OK State​

This state indicates a subsystem which is neither idle nor approaching saturation. Gyeeta will classify a subsystem as OK if it determines that the state is mildly deteriorated from its baselines but not by a long way off so as to trigger a Bad state.

Bad State​

This state indicates a subsystem which is deteriorated from its baselines. For example, in case of a process, Gyeeta will classify the Process state as Bad if it determines that the CPU delays the process is facing is over its baseline by a non-infinitesimal amount.

Severe State​

This state indicates a subsystem which is severely deteriorated from its baselines. For example, in case of a process, Gyeeta will classify the Process state as Severe if it determines that the process is facing Memory Thrashing delays.

Sample Snapshot​

A sample snapshot of the Process subsystem States is shown below :

Process States

As seen from above, the postgres process state is classified as Bad due to Major Page Faults.
