Allow Different Thresholds on Different Appliances/Servers

Does anyone think that it would be a good idea to allow different thresholds on different devices based upon their role.  For example, I am always going to want to monitor the memory usage on my database servers.  DB servers typically use all of the memory allocated to the whereas other servers should alert me at much lower thresholds that my DB servers.  Surely everyone must have the same issue.  Alternatively, if not allowing different thresholds on individual nodes then allow it for different groups.  Please vote if you think this is a good idea.

  • I totally agree with your idea and that is definitely a different solution than what we've been using.

    We use custom properties to set thresholds, however the problem with that is, in the custom properties editor, if I am editing custom properties for volumes I can't sort the volumes by Node custom properties.  For example, I can't filter the volumes by a Node custom property called "Node_Role" which would then allow us to filter only volumes on Nodes that have a "Node_Role" of "Database Server".  If I could, that would be a way to set a volume custom property called "Memory_Critical_Threshold" for only database server.  As a matter of fact, you just gave me an idea for a feature request.  In the meantime, I've been having to try to cobble together SQL queries (which I stink at) and update the database directly.
