Alert rules
IT Analytics provides a pre-defined set of rules to examine common trouble spots within your enterprise. These rules serving as templates, include configurable parameters to isolate specific conditions relevant for your environment. Once configured, you can save the custom instance of the rule and create the Alert Policy. While various use cases will drive how you configure a rule, the goal is to help you quickly and pro-actively identify problem areas and trends that require attention, before they become unmanageable. Categories to alert on include:
Data Collection
Data Protection
Performance
Storage
Storage Forecast
System Administration
Virtualization
Virtualization Forecast
These rules are monitored in real-time as the data is collected or on a scheduled basis if the condition is time-based. Rule availability is based on your product installation.
Using Alert rules to create a policy, you can choose to alert on the conditions you've specified or use reports to review the results on-demand and drill down to specifics. Because alerts can be suppressed for a variety of reasons, use reports to review the results of your criteria whenever required.
See Alert reports section in the Report Reference Guide for a variety of ways to examine the data you have selected to monitor.
