Situation descriptions

Each situation description provides information about the situation that you can use to monitor the condition of systems in your network.

The situation descriptions provide the following information:

Description

Information about the conditions that the situation tests.

Formula

Syntax that contains one or more logical expressions that describe the conditions for the situation to monitor.

Distribution

Whether the situation is automatically distributed to instances of the agent or is available for manual distribution.

Run at startup

Whether the situation starts monitoring when the agent starts.

Sampling interval

Number of seconds that elapse between one sample of data that the monitoring agent collects for the server and the next sample.

Situation persistence

Whether the conditions specified in the situation evaluate to "true" for the defined number of occurrences in a row before the situation is raised. The default of one means that no persistence-checking takes place.

Severity

Severity of the predefined events: Warning, Informational, or Critical.

Clear conditions

Controls when a true situation closes: after a period, when another situation is true, or whichever occurs first if both are selected.
