citrix high cpu

FormerMember

I am looking at creating an Alert for our Citrix servers.

We have our Citrix grouped according to their functions.  Some groups have 5 servers, some have 10.

I would like to minimize our High CPU alerts.  For example if Group A that has 5 servers in it, we would like to see an alert if maybe 2 servers go High CPU, but not 1

In group B, we have 10 servers and we don't want to see a High CPU alert unless 3 servers have High CPU at the same time.  We aren't worried if 1 or 2 servers are showing High CPU.

I have been looking at how to do this, and I its not clicking and I haven't seen this posted to Thwack before.

Any help is appreciated.

  • Chris,

    I've been trying to summarize all of my alerts as well but this is a tough one as I see it.

    I attempted to simplify it by using cpuload metric with just one threshold and another for how many nodes before it triggers - you could rejoin the nodes table with a new alias but I am not sure the having clause would work without creating some sub selects.

    try this - custom SQL Alert - group

    then type in INNER JOIN dbo.Nodes n on n.Caption = Containers_AlertsAndReportsData.GroupMemberName AND (n.CPULoad >50)

    GROUP BY GroupID, GroupName

    HAVING COUNT (*) > 3

    to derive the # of nodes over your threshold or their names you could do a sub select in the alert email

    Hopefully that points you in a helpful direction...

    I was afraid the answer would be to use Custom SQL Alerts, as I am not experienced using them.....

    If my group was called Citrix, how would this fit into your answer?

    Would Line 2, GroupName be Citrix?  Would I need to find the GroupID to match the Citrix group?
