Foglight for Oracle has three sensitivity levels that control which alarms are reported:
• |
Normal — Enables a selection of alarms from different rule categories, including all Essential alarms. |
• |
Tuning — Enables all alarms. |
Changes made to a sensitivity level affect all agents that are assigned that sensitivity level. If you want to enable or disable alarms for the selected agents, see Enabling or disabling alarms for selected agents .
Each agent has its own sensitivity level setting. The default is Normal.

When editing thresholds, ensure that the new values make sense in context with the other threshold values. For most metrics, threshold values are set so that Warning < Critical < Fatal. However, in metrics where normal performance has a higher value, such as DBO - SGA Library Cache, the threshold values are reversed: Warning > Critical > Fatal.
