Hi,
I made an APM Application´s alert.
If application is critical or down , I´ll receive an alert.
My question: If one component goes down, will I receive an alert ?
(This application haves 3 components).
Thanks
Nothing has changed yet.
We are tracking this as Feature Request now in our internal tracking system (case 69428)
Hi contracer,
This depends on your Status Roll-up Mode setting (Settings > Web Console Settings).
If you set roll-up mode to "Show Worst Status" then Applications get a Down status if 1 or more member component monitors are down. In this case, your alert would become active for a single monitor being down.
If you set roll-up to mode to "Mixed Status Shows Warning" then Applications get a Down status only if all member component monitors are down. In this case, your alert would not become active for a single monitor being down.
Contracer,
I have to correct my answer. One of our devs pointed out to me that the APM application status roll-up is hard-coded to worst mode, and cannot be changed.
The status of an application is determined by these rules (in order of priority)
1. If app has a down component, application status is down.
2. If app has an unknown component, application status is unknown.
3. If app has a critical component, application status is critical.
4. If app has a warning component, application status is warning.
5. Otherwise, application status is up.
So if one component is down, the application it belongs to will show down, and your alert will trigger as you expect.
Please forgive me if I caused any confusion with my previous, incorrect answer.
Has this changed since this was posted? We have a need to show an applicaton in a degraded status if a single component is down.
Thanks,
Steve Miller
