Figure PF.15 - Measurement Job

A PM measurement job is the administrative entity defined by a client application to perform a periodic activity related to PM data. The PM activities may be production of measurements, collection of measurements or PM thresholds. The PM Measurement Job is a sub class of the PM Management Job (Management Job ABE under TIP Common ABE). The Management Job defines the attributes that may apply to any kind of a job while the Measurement Job adds the attributes that are specific to the Performance Management context. <br/>The PM measurement job includes the following:<br/>        • A set of requested performance indicators<br/>        • A network/service scope defining a subset of the network or a subset of the service catalog<br/>        • Scheduling parameters<br/>        • Specific activity parameters, related to collection, production or threshold monitoring<br/>A measurement job must define a scope of monitored objects using the monitored objects criteria. The monitored objects criteria support two kinds of monitored objects specification, represented as two sub-entities:<br/>        • Monitored Instances criteria - Specifies a list of individual monitored instances (typed as object names).<br/>        • Monitored Class criteria - Specifies a monitored object class (a string) in conjunction with a filter object. The filter is composed of name value pairs that can be used to focus the PM collection. <br/>The Measurement Job is shown in figure below.<br/>
