For this metric you can set different warning and critical threshold values for each "Full Name" object.
If warning or critical threshold values are currently set for any "Full Name" object, those thresholds can be viewed on the Metric Detail page for this metric.
To specify or change warning or critical threshold values for each "Full Name" object, use the Edit Thresholds page. See the Editing Thresholds topic in the Enterprise Manager online help for information on accessing the Edit Thresholds page.

This metric category includes metrics that provide general information about Oracle HTTP Server.
This metric contains the start time of the HTTP Server. It is represented in milliseconds since the Unix epoch.
The Unix epoch is January 1, 1970.
Contains metrics about Oracle HTTP Server (OHS) modules.

| Target Version | Collection Frequency |
|---|---|
| All Versions | Every 5 Minutes |
This metric helps you determine the frequency of requests currently being served by the module.
If the request handling throughput is very low, either there is no activity on the Web server for the module, or there is something else going on that is preventing the module from processing requests.

To tune the percentage of Oracle HTTP Server child processes that are currently servicing requests, you can change the values for the MaxClients, MinSpareServers, and MaxSpareServers directives.
You can change the value of the MaxClients directive by modifying the value of the Maximum Requests Processed Simultaneously field on the HTTP Server Server Properties page in the Enterprise Manager Application Server Control Console. See the "Modifying Server Properties" topic in the Enterprise Manager Application Server Control help system for more information about accessing the HTTP Server Server Properties page in the Enterprise Manager Application Server Control Console. Click Help on the HTTP Server Server Properties page for more information about using that page.
The MinSpareServers and MaxSpareServers directives can be modified on the Advanced Server Properties page in the Enterprise Manager Application Server Control Console. See the "Editing the Server Configuration Files" topic in the Enterprise Manager Application Server Control help system for more information about accessing the HTTP Server Advanced Server Properties page in the Enterprise Manager Application Server Control Console. Click Help on the HTTP Server Advanced Server Properties page for more information about using that page to edit the directives in the httpd.conf file.
For more information about the MaxClients, MinSpareServers, and MaxSpareServers directives, go to the Apache HTTP Server Documentation section of the http://www.apache.org Web site, then navigate to the Directives information.
