SAM Component Muting and Custom Properties

Hi, I was wondering if it would be possible to review the idea of Custom Properties + Muting at individual SAM Component level.

Reason: we see instances of the application owners and specific support teams such as Database support in house wanting to see monitoring of, in this case, Databases but each actually wanting/caring about different values.

Application team would like to see it all monitored and alerted on with AppInsight for SQL, DE actually only compare about,'is it up and a couple of wait time metrics'.

In such situations component muting if one team wanted 'all the monitoring with visual warning/critical indicators but only a couple of actual alerts received - which could be achieved with specific component muting.

CPs would allow greater logic there if different teams want different levels of alerting.

  • It sounds like you want different metrics to be alerted on for different groups of people. I think the way to do that would probably be to assign different application templates to (for example) your SQL Server, and use custom properties on those applications to specify which group the alerts get sent to. The downsides to this approach are (A) licensing increases and (B) added polling.
