Introduction
The View Monitoring Configuration option on the METRICS tab allows you to perform the following:
- Configure availability rule
- View monitored metrics
- Configure resource-level and component-level thresholds
- Assign/un-assign templates to a resource
- Get latest metric values
- Get Latest Snapshot
- Remove template
You can access this option in the METRICS tab by clicking the gear icon to the right corner of the screen, as shown in the following image:
Configure the availability rule
When you apply a template, the first option ALL is selected by default, but you can change it to ANY if you prefer.
The Availability rule applies to the resources with more than one Availability metric. If you have only one availability metric, then the ALL/ANY rule does not apply.
Availability calculation is divided into two parts:
- ALL: This option means, if all the Availability metrics do not have any critical alert, then the resource is considered UP (OK). If any of the Availability metrics has a critical alert, then the resource is considered as DOWN.
- ANY: This option means, if any of the Availability metrics do not have a critical alert, then the resource is considered as UP (OK). If all the Availability metrics have a critical alert, then the resource is considered as DOWN.
View monitored metrics
The Monitored Metrics section displays a list of all the metrics assigned to a template.
The following table describes the fields in the Monitored Metric section:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | Name of the metric. |
| Template Name | Name of the template. |
| Frequency | Polling interval of the metric. |
| Warning Expression | An expression formed with the combination of Operator, Threshold and Repeat count, defined when creating a template and is used to generate warning alert. |
| Critical Expression | An expression formed with the combination of operator, threshold and repeat count, defined when creating a template and is used to generate critical alert. |
| Alert | Generate alert for this metric based on the configured threshold. |
| Availability | Represents if the metric is selected as availability metric. |
| Last Monitored | The last time the metric data was collected for monitoring. |
Configure resource-level and component-level thresholds
- Resource-level thresholds: You can customize the resource thresholds which are specific to a resource being monitored. This allows for precise control over the performance of the resource and ensures the alerts are triggered at the appropriate levels. This helps you to manage resources effectively.
- Component-level thresholds: Configure component thresholds of a resource to receive notifications when a certain level or limit has exceeded. Resource components can include monitoring “D Driver of the Laptop”, CPU, Memory, Disk, Power Supply, Fans.
To configure thresholds:
- In the MONITORED METRICS section, click the edit icon next to a template. The Template window is displayed.
- Select RESOURCE and/or COMPONENT checkboxes, as per your requirements to customize your template.
- Enter the following information:
Field Name Field Type Description Component Name (or Location for synthetics only) String This option is displayed for COMPONENT. Enter the component name. Example: CPU, Memory, Disk. Alert Checkbox Select the checkbox if you prefer receiving alerts if threshold is breached. Warning Threshold Dropdown Select the operator to compare the warning threshold value. Enter the warning threshold value. Warning Repeat Count Dropdown Number of times the alert threshold condition breaches before generating an alert. Critical Threshold Dropdown Select the operator to compare the critical threshold value. Enter the critical threshold value. Critical Repeat Count Dropdown Number of times the alert threshold condition breaches before generating an alert. - Click Save. The metric details are saved and is available in the list of metrics.
The following table displays the priority with which the resource thresholds are applied.
Field Description Template level 4 Template Component level 3 Resource level 2 Component level 1
Assign/un-assign templates to a resource
The Assigned Templates section displays a list of templates that are assigned to a resource and allows you to assign a new template or un-assign an exiting template.
The following tables describes each field of the Assigned Templates section:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Template Name | Name of the template. For example, G2 MSSQL Database Transactions Time Template. |
| Description | The summary of the template. |
| Collector Type | The collector that you want to use to gather metric data. Example: Agent, Gateway, Azure, etc. |
| Generation | Generation that the template belongs to. For example, Generation G1/G2. |
| Parameters | The configuration parameters applied on the resource. You can click Edit and update these parameters. |
| Filters | The selective fields of a component that you want to monitor. |
| Applied Time | The last time the template was applied to the resource. |
Assign templates
Follow these steps to assign a template:
- In the ASSIGNED TEMPLATES section, click + ASSIGN TEMPLATES. The ASSIGN MONITORING TEMPLATES window is displayed.
- Use the search icon to search for templates you want to apply. You can also use the Filter option to filter templates.
- Select the templates and click ASSIGN TEMPLATE.
Note
Based on the template selected, you will have to provide the configuration parameters. The configuration parameter window is displayed. - Enter the information in the fields.
- Click SAVE. The template is applied and the status is displayed.
Un-assign templates
You can un-assign more than one template at a time. To un-assign a template:
- In the ASSIGNED TEMPLATES section, select checkbox for the templates you want to un-assign.
- Click UNASSIGN. The following dialog is displayed.
3. Select the checkbox if you want to remove the graphs associated with the templates.
4. Click CONFIRM. The selected template is now un-assigned.
Get Latest Metric Values
The Get Latest Metric Values option allows you to retrieve the latest metric data for the resource. Data is displayed in a tabular format with Component Name, Metric Name, Metric Value, and State columns. It also shows the date and time data is collected.
This helps you to quickly check the current performance or status of a resource without waiting for the next scheduled metric update.
To view latest metric values:
Click the three dots icon next to the template.
Select Get Latest Metric Values. The LAST METRIC VALUES popup window is displayed.
Get Latest Snapshot
The Get Latest Snapshot option allows you to fetch the latest snapshot for the resource. Data is displayed in a tabular format with Monitor Name, State, and Result columns. It also shows the date and time data is collected.
This helps you to quickly check the current state of a resource with its components, without waiting for the next scheduled metric update. It allows you to take appropriate steps to address the issue to ensure optimal performance of the resource.
To view latest snapshot:
Click the three dots icon next to the template.
Select Get Latest Snapshot. The LAST SNAPSHOT popup window is displayed.
Remove template
You can remove only one template at a time. To remove a template:
- In the Resource details screen, click METRICS tab.
- Click TEMPLATES. The TEMPLATES screen is displayed.
- In ASSIGNED TEMPLATES section, search for the template you want to delete.
- Click the three dots icon next to the template.
- Select Remove.A confirmation dialog is displayed.
- Select the checkbox if you want to remove the graphs associated with the templates.
- Click CONFIRM. The selected template will be removed.
