Diagnostic Manager 5.0.1 - Installation Guide

Editing Alert Thresholds

You can specify the conditions on monitored SharePoint farms, Server Groups, servers, and pages that trigger alerts. You can specify the type of alert generated and how  Metalogix Diagnostic Manager responds to alerts. For certain alerts, you can choose to wait a specified period of time before  Metalogix Diagnostic Manager raises the alert. Other alerts allow you to exclude certain server instances from the alert.

info

NOTE: When you specify the alert settings, you can create Warning Alerts and Critical Alerts. The trigger for the Critical Alert is always more serious than the trigger for the Warning alert.

Note that for some alerts, a lower value is more serious than a higher value. These alerts include:

·Free Physical Memory (KB)

·Free Virtual Memory (KB)

·Disk Free Space (MB)

·Disk Free Percent (%)

Disk metrics include all mounted disks and mount points. For some metric types, you can exclude some data sources. For example, in some disk metrics, you can exclude volumes from the alerts. You can exclude items at the default level, or for individual objects in the farm.

Default Thresholds vs. Object-Specific Thresholds

Default alert thresholds are those that apply to all new farms, Server Groups, servers, and pages that are added to Metalogix Diagnostic Manager.  Initially, these alert thresholds are specified for only the most common SharePoint needs. You can, however, change them to optimize Metalogix Diagnostic Manager for the needs of your environment.

You can also set alert thresholds that are specific to individual objects, such as farms, servers, and monitored pages.

info

NOTE: Currently you can only set SharePoint-specific alert thresholds at the individual farm level.  The option is disabled for Server Groups.

Excluding Server Instances from Alerts

Metalogix Diagnostic Manager allows you to exclude some server instances from alerting on some metrics. Currently, metrics that allow you to exclude are included in the Disk and SQL Server Database sections of the Alert Thresholds dialog box. The Do not raise alerts for the following disks and Do not raise alerts for the following databases options allow you to type the name of one or more disks or databases you do not want included in that alert.

To access these options, click on Options under the Settings portion of the left hand panel, and select Alert Thresholds.

3.Specify the conditions that trigger the alert.

info

NOTE: If you change the Alert priority, you can sort the Priority column in the Alerts view according to relative importance.

4.If the alert lets you specify a waiting period, you can use the Raise alert after metric exceeds threshold field or the Raise alert after metric is in this state field to specify the number of minutes after the threshold has been exceeded before  Metalogix Diagnostic Manager generates the alert.

5.If the alert lets you specify items to exclude, you can specify the objects to exclude in the Do not raise alerts field.

Use the format c: or c:\mount when specifying your disk or SQL Server database. Note that the instance name entered must match the instance name displayed in the alert. For example:

SQL Server: aadams\named

Database: master

Entry necessary to exclude: [aadams\named].master
