Create a Threshold Monitor

Create a threshold monitor that lets the agent monitor the servers or the server groups against specified thresholds. The agent sends a trap when thresholds are breached.

Follow these steps:

1. Click the Resources tab, open the Configure pane, expand Monitoring Templates and appropriate subcategories.

   The Template List page appears.

2. Select the template in the Template List.

   The Summary page for the template appears.

3. Click the Monitors tab.

   The Summary page appears with a list of monitors managed by the policy.

4. Click Threshold.

   The Threshold Monitors page appears.

5. Click + (New) on the Threshold Monitors toolbar.

   The Threshold Monitor Details: New dialog appears.

6. Configure the following threshold settings:

   Index

   Defines the table index that you want to use.

   Platform

   Specifies the platform.

   Description

   Defines an optional description.

   Object Class

   Specifies the object class to monitor. The values refer to the available MIB tables.

   Object Class Name

   Defines the object class name to use for the object state model. Value is an arbitrary string, for example, FileSystems.

   Object Attribute

   Specifies the object attribute to monitor. The values refer to the available attributes of the table selected as Object Class. The attribute (for example, devCapacity = 1.3.6.1.4.1.546.1.1.1.7.1.14) specifies the initial part of the MIB object (OID) to monitor with this threshold monitor.

   Object Attribute Name

   Defines the object attribute name to use for the object state model. This is an arbitrary string, for example, PercentUsed.

   Object Instance

   Specifies the object instance to monitor. This value, for example, .3 to monitor the third row in the device table (devTable) specifies the index part of the MIB object (OID) to monitor with this threshold monitor. For some object classes, the name of the instance itself can be given (for example, C: instead of .3, or /var for a Unix machine).

   Object Instance Name

   Defines the object instance name to use for the object state model. Value is an arbitrary string, for example, SysVol_C.

   Interval

   Defines the evaluation interval for the monitor in a multiple of 30 seconds.

   The Threshold Configuration page lets you define the following settings:

   Severity

   Specifies the severity to use for the object state model.

   Operator

   Specifies the operator to use.

   Value

   Defines the value to use.

   Sample Type

   Specifies the sample type to use.

   The Maintenance Window page lets you define the following settings:

   State

   Specifies if the monitor maintenance entry is active or inactive.

   Start Time

   Defines the start time when the monitor is switched off and the maintenance window begins.

   Stop Time

   Defines the stop time when the monitor is switched on again and the maintenance window ends.

   The Optional Settings subtab lets you define the flags that can be used for the different monitor entries or history control entries.

7. Click Save

   The Threshold Monitor settings are saved.

8. Click Save Template.

   The Threshold Monitor is loaded to the template.
