Alerts for CPU growth over 3 months time period.

Just to clarify:

For each device (or each device in a specific group, like Windows servers)

     Get the overall CPU %utilization (not the per-CPU average) on the first day of last month (CPU-1)

     Get the overall CPU %utilization (not the per-CPU average) on the last day of last month (CPU-2)

     Calculate (CPU-2) / (CPU-1) * 100

     Repeat this process for 2 months before last

     If the Sum of all 3 months calculation is >= 30 then trigger an alert

Is that more or less what you want?

More questions:

How many devices are in your SolarWinds environment?

How many ELEMENTS are in your SolarrWinds environmentt

How many devices will this alert apply to?

Hi Leon,

Thanks for the response.

But (CPU-2)/(CPU-1)* 100 will not give me the value for the growth of CPU.

Also taking sum of all three months value will not do what I want.

Actually what I am looking for is that if first month growth CPU is 10% and 2nd is 12% and 3rd is 15% so the growth for all three months is more than 10%.

That's when I want to trigger alert. probably a e-mail.

So firstly I need algorithm for calculating growth rate each month.

Then comparing 3 months growth and if consecutive 3 month is more than 10% need an email alert.

I am looking for an alert for approx. 1000 Servers.
