Selecting Threshold Mechanism

Home  Previous  Next

Managing thresholds means selecting/modifying the mechanism by which HP EVA KM for PATROL sets thresholds for all parameters of the monitored components. By default, HP EVA KM for PATROL automatically sets alert thresholds on the monitored parameters.

To modify the threshold mechanism:

1.Right-click the HP EVA  icon > KM Commands > KM Settings > Additional Settings > Threshold Mechanism Selection...

KM_Cmd_Threshold_Mechanism_Select

Threshold Mechanism Selection

2.Select one of the following options:
Automatic (default): the KM determines and uses the threshold mechanism best suited to the managed system
Tuning: If selected, the KM will manage its thresholds through the internal PATROL mechanism (Override parameters). Thresholds are stored in the PATROL Agent configuration under the /___tuning___ tree.
Event Management: If this option is selected, the KM will manage its thresholds through the Event Management mechanism. Thresholds are stored in the PATROL Agent configuration under the /AS tree. This option requires that you set up the PATROL for Event Management KM on your PATROL Agent. PATROL for Event Management has to be enabled and preloaded.
No Thresholds: the KM will not set any thresholds on the monitored objects. You are required to set them manually.

WarningIn order to avoid side effects and unpredictable behavior, if you change the threshold mechanism (from “Event Management” to “Tuning” or the other way around), the KM will automatically recreate the default thresholds settings using the new threshold mechanism. Manually customized thresholds however are not automatically migrated.
