Database Performer Analyzer - setting Resource values with API's

I would like to set a Custom Alarm Threshold value for SQL Disk Read Latency and SQL Disk Write Latency under Disk Resources
e.g.

Easy enough to do with a single database
The issue is I have several hundred databases to set. (This would be very time consuming)
Can this be done using the API?

Last I saw the DPA api only really supports a narrow set of commands, mostly relating to admin stuff like adding new instances and deleting old ones. Traditionally I have seen people just going directly to the database of dpa to do bulk work. Considering that many DPA user are DBA's and that is their natural playground.

I suggest you also put in a Feature Request to have the functionality added to DPA.

If enough people vote on it, it may, eventually, possibly even in your lifetime , be added to the product.

At this time, you cannot use the API for this task. Your best option would be to contact support and ask for help in writing a custom script to update the DPA repository directly. HTH
