Performance Object Status attribute group

The Performance Object Status attribute group contains information that reflects the status of other attribute groups so you can see the status of all of the performance objects that make up this application all at once. Each of these other performance attribute groups is represented by a row in this table (or other type of view). The status for an attribute group reflects the result of the last attempt to collect data for that attribute group, which allows you to see whether the agent is performing correctly. Unlike other attribute groups, the Performance Object Status attribute group does not reflect the state of the monitored application. This attribute group is most often used to determine why data is not available for one of the performance attribute groups. If the warehouse default setting is enabled, data for this attribute group is stored in Tivoli Data Warehouse.

Historical group

This attribute group is part of the default historical group, and is eligible for use with Tivoli Data Warehouse.
