Foglight for Exchange rules

Foglight for Exchange includes a number of predefined rules to monitor all critical components of Exchange on a continuous basis to ensure that the Exchange organization is functioning properly. The rules included in Foglight for Exchange alert you to key conditions that may affect the health of Exchange. Foglight allows you to modify these predefined rules or create your own rules to ensure you are monitoring statistics and alerting on conditions specific to your Exchange environment.

Foglight for Exchange provides additional dashboards for managing Foglight for Exchange rules:

•
Rules dashboard (Dashboards > Administration > Rules > All)
•
Exchange Rule Management dashboard (Dashboards > Exchange > Rule Management)
 
* 
NOTE: All original rules in each cartridge are reset when the cartridge is upgraded; therefore if you applied custom conditions to any original rules these modifications will be lost. It is recommended that when modifying rules you make a copy of the original, disable the original and enable the copy with the new condition. Use the copy rule icon to the far right of a rule on the Manage Rules dashboard to copy a rule.

This section describes the Exchange Rule Management dashboard and explains the tasks that can be performed from this dashboard:

•
Rules dashboard
•
Exchange Rule Management dashboard
•
Managing Foglight for Exchange rules
•
Rules reference

Rules dashboard

The Rules dashboard lists all rules that exist in your environment and allows you to drill down to rule definitions. From this dashboard you can copy, edit, and remove Foglight rules.

 
* 
NOTE: Predefined rules may be modified during regular software updates. To avoid losing changes to these rules, we recommend copying a rule and making edits to the copy. Enable the copy and disable the original rule. You may want to identify your custom rules with a unique prefix to make them easy to find.
To review and edit rules:
1
In the navigation panel, under Homes, click Administration.
2
In the Administration dashboard, click Rules > All.
The Rules dashboard opens.
3
From the Cartridge list, select ExchangeMonitoring.
The dashboard refreshes to display only the Foglight for Exchange rules.
4
From here, you can perform the following tasks:
•
Review a short description of the rule.
•
Review and edit threshold values.
* 
TIP: For rules that reference registry variables for threshold values, modify the threshold in the registry variable, rather than modifying the rule. For help finding and editing registry variables, search for “Registry Variable” in the online help.
•
Copy rules.
•
Edit rule conditions.
•
Associate actions with rules.
•
Create user-defined rules.
For help with these tasks, open the online help from the Rule dashboard.
