For CA Nimsoft Monitor and CA Nimsoft Monitor Snap.
Many of the CA Nimsoft Monitor probes support Dynamic thresholds. Dynamic thresholds are configured at the QoS metric level in each probe that publishes an alarm for a QoS metric.
Important! In order to create dynamic alarm thresholds, you must have the baseline_engine probe version 2.0 or later installed on the robot and configured.
Follow these steps for each QoS metric where you want to configure dynamic thresholds:
- Select a node in the tree to view any associated monitors and QoS metrics.
- Select the monitor you want to modify in the table.
- Select the Publish Data and Compute Baseline options to enable the Dynamic Alarm Thresholds section of the configuration.
- Choose a threshold algorithm. There are three algorithms allowed for dynamic alarm thresholds:
Note: You must indicate the direction for each algorithm, either increasing or decreasing.- Scalar: Each threshold is a specific value from the computed baseline.
- Percent: Each threshold is a specific percentage of the computed baseline.
- Standard Deviation: Each threshold is a measure of the variation from the computed baseline. A large standard deviation indicates that the data points are far from the computed baseline and a small standard deviation indicates that they are clustered closely around the computed baseline.
- Save your settings.
