Question SQL Sentry Condition Time base Ruleset : what exactly "Process Action After" and "Process Subsequent Action After"

We have an Advisory Condition "High CPU", which ruleset: Time based.

Action: Send Email ( when CPU over 90 % )

Process Action After: 3 minutes
Process Subsequent Actions Every: 30 minutes.

There are some points we are not very clear about above ruleset, especially on "Process Subsequent Action Every", would this set "overrides" after 3 minutes rule?

  • Hi, No, essentially this is additive. Your High CPU condition must first be evaluated to TRUE. If it remains TRUE continuously for three minutes, it will process the configured action. After that, as long as the original condition remains TRUE, SQL Sentry will continue to take the same action once every 30 minutes until the condition is evaluated to FALSE. At that point the logic resets.

  • Thanks Steve!
    I guess I am still bit confusing on 30 minutes Subsequent rule:
    Does it have to have high cpu for any 3 minute stretch in the 30 minutes following the first alert?
    or does CPU have to remain high for all 30 mins, after 30 minutes, then send alert again?
