Foglight for Exchange rules Running diagnostic tests Managing Exchange metrics

Exchange Rule Management dashboard

The Exchange Rule Management dashboard contains a sortable list of all the conditional severity rules used by the Foglight for Exchange. From this dashboard you can quickly see which conditional rules are enabled/disabled, the states (fatal, critical or warning) with active conditions, predefined alarm threshold values, rules with current alarms, and a brief description of each rule.

* 
NOTE: The Rule Management dashboard does not display simple rules that do not have user-definable conditions defining when to raise an alarm. To edit the simple rules, use the Manage Rules dashboard.
Figure 48. Exchange Rule Management dashboard

The Exchange Rule Management dashboard includes the following tabs:

•
Exchange Monitoring. Displays information about the Foglight for Exchange rules.
•
Optional. Displays information about the Foglight for Exchangeoptional rules.
•
Host Monitoring. Displays information about the Host Monitoring rules.
 
* 
NOTE: The host monitoring rules are only used if Foglight for Exchange is collecting the host metrics, as specified on the agent’s properties page. If the host metrics are being collected by Foglight for VMware or Foglight for Hyper-V, the host monitoring rules defined for the selected cartridge will be used instead.

* 
NOTE: To define a condition for a rule, select the set rule icon in the corresponding Fatal, Critical or Warning columns.
2
On the Edit Rule view, edit the conditions, alarms, actions, schedules, behavior or rule variables as required. After making your edits, select Save All.
For more detailed information on editing rules, see the Foglight Administration and Configuration Help.
* 
NOTE: In the browser interface, open the Help tab in the action panel. Navigate to Using Foglight > Administration and Configuration Help > Tuning Foglight for Optimal Performance > Using Foglight Rules to Report on Bottlenecks. Scroll to the bottom of that page to find a list of reference topics including procedures explaining how to perform a variety of tasks related to rules.
To edit the alarm threshold assigned to a rule:
1
Select the numeric value in the Fatal, Critical or Warning columns.
2
On the Threshold dialog, enter the new value and select Update.
To activate/deactivate a condition for a rule:
1
Select the deactivated value or graph icon in the corresponding Fatal, Critical or Warning columns.
•
If you selected a deactivated value, on the Threshold dialog, select the Activate check box and if desired modify the threshold value displayed. Select Update.
•
If you selected a deactivated graph icon, on the Edit Rule view, select the Activate check box on the Conditions, Alarms & Actions tab. If necessary, edit the conditions, alarms, actions, schedules, behavior or rule variables as required. After activating and/or editing the condition, select Save All.

Rules reference

Foglight allows you to create flexible rules that can be applied to complex, interrelated data from multiple sources within your distributed system. You can associate several different actions with a rule, configure a rule so that it does not fire repeatedly, and associate a rule with schedules to define when it should and should not be evaluated.

Different types of data can be used in rules, including registry variables, raw metrics, derived metrics, and topology object properties.

There are two types of rules in Foglight: simple rules and multiple-severity rules. A simple rule has a single condition, and can be in one of three states: Fire, Undefined, or Normal. A multiple-severity rule can have up to five severity levels: Undefined, Fatal, Critical, Warning, and Normal.

Rule conditions are regularly evaluated against monitoring data (metrics and topology object properties collected from your monitored environment and transformed into a standard format). Therefore, the state of the rule can change if the data changes. For example, if a set of monitoring data matches a simple rule’s condition, the rule enters the Fire state. If the next set does not match the condition, the rule exits the Fire state and enters the Normal state.

A rule condition is a type of expression that can be true or false. When it evaluates to true, the rule is said to fire, causing any actions that are associated with the rule or severity level to be performed. You can configure a rule to perform one or more actions upon entering or exiting each state. When a multiple-severity rule fires, an alarm also appears in Foglight.

Foglight for Exchange includes several Exchange monitoring rules. In addition, this cartridge uses some of the Host Monitoring rules.

* 
NOTE: The host monitoring rules are only used if Foglight for Exchange is collecting the host metrics, as specified on the agent’s properties page. If the host metrics are being collected by Foglight for VMware or Foglight for Hyper-V, the host monitoring rules defined for the selected cartridge will be used instead.

For more information, see the Foglight Administration and Configuration Guide or online help.

Running diagnostic tests

Foglight for Exchange provides diagnostics tests to help you detect and analyze Exchange problems. Using the Diagnostic Tests dashboard, which is available in Foglight for Exchange, you can view a list of diagnostic tests that are available as well as run a test immediately or define a schedule for when a test is to be run.

* 
IMPORTANT: Running diagnostic tests may impact performance. The impact on performance depends on your environment (network bandwidth, speed, etc.), the number of servers being tested, and the number of tests being run. It is recommended to run individual tests against specific servers to analyze a particular problem.

This section describes the components of the Diagnostic Tests dashboard and explains the tasks that can be performed from this dashboard. It also provides a description of the diagnostic tests that are available in Foglight for Exchange to detect and analyze your Exchange environment.
