Configuring Alarm-triggered Email Notifications

The Notification Settings pane allows configuring the various variables of alarm-triggered email notifications. Such notifications are sent only if all of the following conditions are met:
•
The alarm meets the predefined minimal severity level for notification
•
The alarm is enabled for invoking email notifications.
 
* 
IMPORTANT: As detailed below, alarms can be enabled individually, per group or as a whole, by selecting All Alarms.
•
The alarm is fired
Use this pane to define the conditions mentioned above, as well as general mailing preferences and message prefixes.
The contents of the Notification Settings pane changes according to the selection made in the Alarms list, as follows:
•
Clicking All Alarms displays all of the currently configured alarms, indicating the alarm title and its status. This view allows handling only the entire set of displayed alarms, using the Enable all or Disable all buttons.
 
* 
IMPORTANT: In the All Alarms view, the Notification Settings pane displays also the Server Settings tab, which allows configuring the email settings for the Foglight Management Server’s default mail server. These settings apply to all of the agents. For details, see Configuring Foglight Mail Server on page 70.
•
Clicking the title of a specific group (for example, Baseline or Locks) displays all of the alarms currently configured for this group, indicating the alarm title and its status. This view allows handling only the entire set of displayed alarms, using the Enable all or Disable all buttons.

Configuring Usage Costs

The Cost Configuration administration screen is used for setting the prices, in US dollars, for bandwidth and storage usage. As these prices form the basis for the estimated cost calculations in Foglight for SQL Azure, entering data in this screen is mandatory for the cartridge’s proper functioning.
 
* 
IMPORTANT: The settings made in the Cost Configuration screen are applied at instance level, regardless of whether the selected agent is an instance or a database. For example: if the only agent currently selected is a single database agent, out of 20 databases that run on a specific instance, the settings made in this screen will modify the instance’s configuration, thereby applying to all 20 databases.
 
* 
IMPORTANT: The prices set via this screen are fixed, and do not depend on usage level.
To set the requested storage and bandwidth usage prices:
1
Select the check boxes near the requested agents.
2
Click Edit.
Figure 16. The Set Cost Configuration dialog box appears.
3
Edit one or more of the following settings:
•
Storage price—the price, per GB, of space usage
•
Outgoing price—the price, per GB, of bandwidth usage for outgoing data (data sent from the database)
•
Incoming price—the price, per GB, of bandwidth usage for incoming data (data arriving to the database)
4
Click Set.

Setting the User Account

The User Account administration screen is used for setting the Windows Live ID and data center, which are used for accessing and using SQL Azure services.
 
* 
IMPORTANT: The settings made in the User Account screen are applied at instance level, regardless of whether the selected agent is an instance or a database. For example: if the only agent currently selected is a single database agent, out of 20 databases that run on a specific instance, the settings made in this screen will modify the instance’s configuration, thereby applying to all 20 databases.
To set the requested storage and bandwidth usage prices:
1
Select the check boxes near the requested agents.

•
Entering a user-defined name—by filling-in the field under the button Enter a data center name.
After adding the requested name, it can be added to the Data Centers table by selecting the check box below this field. However, even without selecting this check box, the new name is available for all SQL Azure agents monitored by the selected Foglight Agent Manager.
