DX Application Performance Management

Hi Team,

It may look like a silly question to ask but still i feel that i should post this question to get my doubt clarified.

We are using CA APM 10.1.

I need an alert if the stall count is greater than 20 continously for 6 mins.

There are 2 possiblilities for me to set this alert ( Practically there are lot more possibilities available but i am giving the below example to get my doubt calrified.)

Option 1.

Resolution : 6 min
Period over Thershold :1
Observered Period:1

Option 2.

Resolution:15 sec
Period over Thershold:24
Observered Period:24

I am pretty sure that Option 2 will work as per my requirement but i am not sure whether option 1 will work as per my requirement.

Please clarify.
If possible please share a best practice document for setting alert in CA APM.

Note: I can also see that it is not mandatory to select resolution value from the drop down list as i can set a value myself i.e. 3 mins. I am not sure whether it is the CA APM functionality or a known bug.

Cheers

Jay

I tried option 1 in my environment and it worked.  After 6 minutes, my status console alert was triggered.  I also used Whenever Severity Increases.  This of course is configurable for your needs.

As for the mandatory to not select resolution, it is not a bug.  By default the resolution is set to 15 seconds.  But you can change it to suit your needs.

Hi Matt,

Thanks a ton for your quick response.

Can you please confirm whether options 1 and options 2 will give me same result.

i.e. An alert will be  triggered after the stall count is greater than 20 continuously for 6 mins.

Cheers

Jay
