SMS 2003 Perf Threshold: Site Server SINV Backlog > 10,000 over 3 hours

SMS_2003_Perf_Threshold__Site_Server_SINV_Backlog__10000_over_3_hours_8_Rule (Rule)

Knowledge Base article:

Summary

The total number of queued software inventory (.sic or .sid) files on the site server has exceeded the standard operational threshold. This condition will increase unless it is resolved. If the queued site server software inventory file count keeps going beyond the threshold, software inventory will not be reflected in the SMS site database in a timely manner, and collections and reports may not accurately represent the software on the network.

Causes

The total number of queued software inventory files can exceed the threshold because:

Resolutions

To resolve this issue and lower the number of queued software inventory files:

For more assistance, a list of additional support options is available in the support section of the SMS Web site at Support for Systems Management Server.

Additional

If this alert is generating too many false positives, you can modify the threshold tab of the rule properties to designate values more appropriate for your environment.

To view a graph that plots the trend in processing rates for software inventory files (SINVs) on site servers:

Processing rates will not show on the graph unless the corresponding performance measure is enabled first. To enable the performance measure for SINV backlog:

This alert is best handled by SMS administrators.

Related Events

You can also look for alerts relating to the SMS Executive service being stopped or the site server having insufficient resources (such as CPU, memory). These alerts are the potential cause of the software inventory file alert. Depending on the cause, it is likely that other types of backlogs (hardware inventory, data discovery records, software metering) on the site server are also increasing and corresponding alerts are occurring.
