  • 1.  Configuring alert for service unavailability in Introscope 9.1

    Posted Jul 19, 2012 05:08 PM
    Hi ,

    Could someone please tell about creating alert , when the server or any service becomes unavailable?

    Scenario: I have 5 clusters in my server and Intro scope is configured to monitor all the 5 clusters. Now when one of the cluster becomes unavailable due to some issue, I could see that there is no metrics available in Investigator. I would like to get an alert when ever each cluster becomes unavailable.

    Thanks,
    Mani.

    Each agent has a value called "ConnectionStatus" that is located on the EM that owns it. An agent that is connected is at a 1 value, when it disconnects it changes to a value of 3. create an alert off of this metric, if not equal to 1 alert.
    Hope this helps.

    You can do this, but as a number of people have reported, when the agent is rebalanced by the MOM, you can trigger a false alert.
    Can you try to mitigate this by delaying the action on the calculator.

    You can also monitor the 'Bytes In Use' and create a calculator on this metric. Again, with load balancing, it's best to set an action delay to ensure you're not sending a false alert.

    If it is standalone deployment then you are good if it is wily cluster then you need to figure out which collector the agent is connected to. We have done this by running a JS script that will determine if agent connection status is 1 on any collector

    we have the same script and i belive it came from CA. and i belive with the new 9.1 em versions they are trying to make that central MOM agent view / state standard, so a propper em cluster steup.

    Does anyone have a copy of the js script that they can share? We are trying to use the connectionstatus in a clustered environment and need to be able to get the status no matter which collector it is reporting to.

    Thanks.
