Delete notification schedules

Delete notification schedules

When you delete notification schedules, both the notification criteria and the schedule settings are removed from the appliance.

Notification schedules can be deleted any time as needed.

1.
Go to the Notification Schedules list page:
a.
Log in to the appliance Administrator Console, https://appliance_hostname/admin. Or, if the Show organization menu in admin header option is enabled in the appliance General Settings, select an organization in the drop-down list in the top-right corner of the page next to the login information.
b.
On the left navigation bar, click Reporting, then click Notifications.
3.
Select Choose Action > Delete, then click Yes to confirm.

Monitoring servers

Monitoring servers

The appliance offers you a module with which you can perform basic performance monitoring for your servers in inventory.

About server monitoring

The appliance monitoring feature targets server-class operating systems, and provides default monitoring profiles that define criteria for performance alerts for each operating system. You can define additional, custom profiles that point to alternative event logs or OS level logs, with similar or different criteria.

For details on OS versions supported for server monitoring, see the Technical Specifications guides.

Table 32. Monitoring interface components under the Monitoring tab in the appliance navigation bar

Section

Description

Devices

For each monitored device, displays most critical alert, alert count, bound profile count, bound Maintenance Window count, and link to detail page to edit configuration settings for the device. This section can also display time alert created and modified, IP address of the monitored device, and whether Configuration Change Alert is enabled.

Alerts

Displays alert level, alert summary, link to detail of alert, date and time of alert creation, most recent repeat time, repeat count, IP address, and status.

Profiles

Displays profile name, list of default profiles and added profiles, count of devices to which the profile is bound, and if the profile is automatically added to a device with a particular operating system type.

A profile is where the criteria for triggering an alert is configured. In the profile, the log path and file are defined, along with the search text to look for in the log, and what severity is assigned to the alert.

You can bind multiple profiles to a device if there are multiple logs you want to monitor.

Maintenance Windows

Displays Maintenance Window name, count of devices to which the Maintenance Window is bound, whether the Maintenance Window is automatically added to all devices, and link to detail page to edit schedule and OS default settings. This section can also display Maintenance Window description and time Maintenance Window created and modified.

Log Enablement Packages

Displays a base set of Windows Reliability and Performance Monitor (PerfMon) templates and non-Windows open-source Perl scripts, so that you can extend your monitoring capability, and identify system and application performance issues.

Monitoring profiles

With the default monitoring profiles and with profiles you can set up, your appliance can provide:

In addition, you can use Log Enablement Packages (LEPs) to provide:

You can download your profiles for others to use, and can upload custom profiles that are developed and made available by others.

Free or licensed server monitoring

The appliance comes with monitoring available for 5 servers with your standard license, and you can obtain a license to expand that number. To see how many servers your system is licensed to manage, click About appliance in the Page-level Help panel when you click Need Help in the top-right corner of the page. The line for Management Capacity Usage displays Monitored Servers, with the number of devices that currently have monitoring enabled compared to the total number of devices that could be monitored under the existing license.

Working with the alerts

Alerts appear in the Administrator Console, where you can review and dismiss them after they have been dealt with. The appliance provides additional capabilities. Among other things, you can:

The appliance has a number of functions that make working with alerts more efficient:

Alert consolidation (repeat counts): To prevent notification spam, the appliance analyzes the alerts for uniqueness, and uses repeat count for identical alerts to indicate the number of times the alert has been generated.
Alert storm mitigation: To prevent too much repeated data from streaming in, the appliance limits the collection for any one device to 50 alerts in a single collection. The appliance then composes a generic alert indicating that there is abnormal activity that needs attention.
Grooming: A user can dismiss (hide from view, but keep in the database) alerts, or delete alerts manually or automatically after a set number of days. However, the appliance automatically limits a device to storing 2000 alerts before the appliance begins deleting alerts from the database.

Getting started with server monitoring

Getting started with server monitoring

The appliance comes with monitoring available for a set number of servers. If a server is in inventory, you can enable monitoring for that device and have it start reporting alerts after the next inventory.

Enable monitoring for a device

Enable monitoring for a device

You can enable monitoring on any eligible server device in your inventory, up to a total of 200 servers, as prescribed by your appliance license.

Eligible devices have server-class operating systems. Non-computer devices and computers without server-class operating systems cannot be monitored.

The appliance provides two methods for enabling monitoring.

When a server is enabled, an icon in the Status column on the Device page in the Inventory section indicates the enabled status, and whether monitoring is active or paused:

: Server monitoring is enabled and active on this Agent-managed device.
: Server monitoring is paused on this Agent-managed device.
: Server monitoring is enabled and active on this Agentless-managed device.
: Server monitoring is paused on this Agentless-managed device.
