Application performance monitor - Warning and Critical thresholds

Alanb

I have written a WMI counter monitor to check the number of connected devices on a certain service. I need it to reverse the critical and warning thresholds for example. Warning if connected devices is lesss than 2000 and critical if connected devices is less than 1500. It appears that NPM only does equals to and greater than for it's thresholds.

I'm evaluating this and if this is not possible then it's a show-stopper!.

 

Thanks

You warning and critical threshold are greater than's, they cannot be altered to be less than.

 

What you can do however is to create a windows script monitor which executes the WMI query, analyses the result and outputs the relevant exit code from the list below.

 

Exit Code                               Meaning

0                                              Up

1                                              Down

2                                              Warning

3                                              Critical

Any other value                    Unknown

 

 

Also, you can create an alert which triggers against the APM Component -> Statistic Data field. You can choose less than as an operator here. This will allow you generate the alert you need, however the status of the actual monitor itself will remain up and will not be influenced by these thresholds.
