Hi, i am using SAM 5.0 to monitor my Exch 2010 servers. I need help in the configuration of one of these monitors.
Avg. Disk sec/Read (Logical Disk) monitor is giving me a little grief. I see the description says ; Shows the average time, in seconds. It also says; Should be less than 20 milliseconds (ms) on average.
Now then I am using a custom conversion formula of ${Statistic}/1000 to come up with the value or, data. When I test the formula, I see it gives the correct output.
Is this milliseconds? Or seconds? If the average time is in seconds, what am I actually converting in my custom conversion? the seconds to milliseconds? if this is the case, then my alert is not giving me correct info because it is leaving out the decimal points.
(snippet from alert email)
Here is what it says; It tells me which apm on which server is having problems, and reports the value of the statistical data
Component Avg. Disk sec/Read (Logical Disk) on Application Exchange 2010 Edge Transport Role Counters (Advanced) on Node EX10.x.x is Critical
Statistical data: 25908.908203125
Do I need to change the alert for all SAM monitors?. Could it be that I need to change this line of code in my alert;
Statistical data: ${StatisticData}
and add '/1000'.
Below is the alert I have crafted:
Component ${ComponentName} on Application ${ApplicationName} on Node ${NodeName} is ${ComponentStatus}
Statistical data: ${StatisticData}
This alert is based on information put together from WMI or RPC monitors on the machine ${NodeName}
The funny thing is, is that it works for all other monitors correctly, so I suspect the conversion on the SAM Avg. Disk sec/Read (Logical Disk) is where I have to tweak things.
I hope you can follow me here. Thanks
