EXC POP3 Connections Rule : How to know what Registry Variables affects this rule and how the internal calculation takes place.
Foglight 5.6.5; Exchange cartridge 5.6.5
EXC POP3 Connections Rule being triggered and need to know where these rule's values comes from.
Rule Definition:
history = #connectionsCurrent for 10 min#; mean = avg(history); std = stddev(history); if(std < 0.001 * mean) std = 0.001 * mean; if((#connectionsCurrent# > (mean + registry("EXC.POP3Connections.STDev.warning") *std))) return true; else return false;
EXC.POP3Connections.STDev.warning is the Registry variable that needs to be changed. However there is a complex calculation happening in the background (as shown in the formula) to analyze the data collected by the agent and that data is specific to user's environment. We are not sure what specific value would be a good to use.
Solution:
1. Go to “ EXC POP3 Connections” rule and click edit
2. Run the formula in “Run Condition Query”
Check the mean :
history = #connectionsCurrent for 10 min#;
mean = avg(history);
Check the std:
history = #connectionsCurrent for 10 min#;
mean = avg(history);
std = stddev(history);
The pop3 connection history can be found in : Configuration/Data/Exchange/Client Access Role//connections/pop3/connectionCurrent
