Enable an Application Availability OLA

Use the Availability OLA List to enable the availability OLA reporting for an application and specify a threshold for operational level compliance. When specifying a threshold, consider the time period you plan to use for reporting. For example, if you want to report on availability for a 12-month period, you may want to set a different threshold than you would use for reporting on a 1-month period. Note that you cannot create more than one availability OLA for the same application.

When you specify an availability OLA, make sure to also enable availability monitoring on the application itself. Specifying an availability OLA does not automatically update the application.

Follow these steps:

1. Click the Administration page.
2. Click Policies, Availability OLAs in the Show Me menu.

   The Availability OLA List opens.

3. Click to edit an OLA.

   Configure Operational Level Agreement opens.

4. Select Enable Availability OLA, type the minimum percentage of time this application should be available, and click OK. You can specify a threshold value up to 3 decimal places, such as 93.999.

   The management console displays a reminder to enable availability monitoring on the application.
