(Optional) Reindex Monitors from Templates or a Policy

You can reindex the monitors on the Threshold, Process, Log File, Windows Event, History and Process Group tabs. Reindexing assigns a sequential value to the existing index.

Note: Once you reindex the monitors, this functionality ensures that the future indexes start at the next logical base index.

To reindex the monitors, consider the following:

Follow these steps:

  1. Click the Resources tab, open the Configure pane, and expand Monitoring Templates or Policies.
  2. From the Templates List or Available Policies page, click the template or policy name.

    The Summary page appears.

  3. Click the Monitors tab.

    The Summary page appears with a list of monitors.

  4. Click the appropriate monitor tab, click Action, and select Reindex.

    The new base index dialog appears.

  5. Enter a numeric value as the base index

    Example:1000

  6. Select Make indexes contiguous
    Make indexes contiguous

    Select the Make indexes contiguous option to make the existing indexes sequential.

    Example: 1001, 1002, 1003, 1004 and so on.

    Note: If this option is not selected then the gaps between indexes are retained.

    Example: 1001, 1010, 1020, 1030 and so on.

  7. Click Ok to confirm the reindex.

    The monitors are reindexed.
