How to use previous state of component to compare with current state to alert

Hi,

I am using the Java SNMP template. For the component "Memory Garbage Collection Time (ms)" the returned counter is the elapsed time since the JVM was started that has been spent in GC. If SAM polls for this value every 5 minutes I want to be able to compare the current value with the value from the last poll 5 minutes ago. If the value is greater then X send an alert. How would I do this?

Thanks,

Many components have a check box for "report statistic as difference". Do you have that option for this component?

Nope, I have an option to convert the returned value and then a threshold for Warning and Critical. Nothing that would let me compare a difference, at least that I can see.

The Count Statistic as Difference option for the SNMP Component monitor is currently being tracked as a feature request internally under FB104440.

Is it possible to view the enhancement request FB104440? The reason I ask is I also have the same situation with a few of the JMX MBeans were are managing and wanted to see if this difference option plans to be applied to a number of templates. Also is it targeted for a specific release?

Thanks,

The "Count statistic as difference" option has been added to the SNMP Component monitor type in the latest SAM 5.2 beta . If you're an existing APM/SAM customer under active maintenance you can sign-up here to participate in the beta. We'd love to get your feedback on this feature.
