Event Setting

Home > Select Project > Sitemap > Alert > Event Configuration New

The new Event Configuration menu can enhance the user experience by focusing on the field (Field) rather than the category (Category). This event function allows you to quickly apply warning level notifications to users who do not need powerful features such as metric event settings or to repeatedly use simple notification conditions. By providing basic event templates for the products of the created project, you can quickly and easily configure the desired warning notification events.

By selecting fields first rather than categories, we can resolve the discrepancy between metrics perceived by the user and event settings. By combining the visual intuition of the simulation, you can complete event settings quickly and accurately.

Note

• New projects can use this feature without extra settings. However, for the created projects, select Create event template. The event lists optimized for new features are automatically generated.

• The provided event templates may differ depending on the product.

• This function can be used by only the members with the Alert settings role. For more information about the member roles, see the following.

Basic event templates

Basic event templates are provided based on the product of the created project. You can activate a desired event by selecting Activation on the utmost left of the event list.

The provided event templates are as follows. The default value set in Indicator can be changed to a desired one.

• Active Sessions

  Category: db_altibase_counter

  If the number of sessions running query (active_sessions) exceeds 30, a warning (Warning) level notification is sent. If it exceeds 50, a critical (Critical) level notification is sent.

• Agent Alive Check

  Category: agent_status_summary

  It sends a warning (Warning) level notification when data collection from the agent fails (isActive == false).

  Note

  This template event can occur even if the network is disconnected.

• CPU

  Category: db_altibase_counter

  If the CPU utilization (cpu(xos)) exceeds 80%, a warning (Warning) level notification is sent. If it exceeds 90%, a critical (Critical) level notification is sent.

• Connection Failed

  Category: db_altibase_counter

  If database connection fails 15 times(connect_error) or more, a Critical level alert is sent.

• Lock Wait Sessions

  Category: db_altibase_counter

  If the number of sessions waiting to acquire the row lock (lock_wait_sessions) exceeds 3, a warning (Warning) level notification is sent. If it exceeds 5, a critical (Critical) level notification is sent.

• Memory

  Category: db_altibase_counter

  If the memory utilization (mem(xos)) exceeds 80%, a warning (Warning) level notification is sent. If it exceeds 95%, a critical (Critical) level notification is sent.

  Note

  This template is only available if you have configured and run the XOS agent. For more information about the XOS agent configuration, see the following.

Modifying event

You can modify the metric values applied in basic event templates for changing the warning notification occurrence criteria. In addition, you can change the notification occurrence criteria through various option settings. Select on the event to modify. The event editing screen appears. Modify the following items and then select Save.

Define event condition

You can set the criteria for event occurrence conditions.

• Simulation: If you set event conditions and then select the button, the result of the set event can be predicted.

  

• Indicatorsettings: You can set the thresholds for the Warning or Critical notifications. Set an operator and then enter thresholds.

  • Operators: > (greater than), >= (greater than or equal to), < (less than), <= (less than or equal to), == (equal to)

  • You can enter a positive number, negative number, or 0 as the threshold, but whether to enter a negative number may differ depending on the selected event template.

  Note

  • Depending on the provided event template, the notification levels that can be set may differ.

  • You can select one of Warning and Critical. However, you cannot disable both two items.

• Consecutive: You can send notifications based on the count that meets the specified event conditions.

  • Not used: Notifications are sent each time any event occurs.

  • Consecutive: Notifications are sent each time any event occurs as many as you specified.

• Pause: No notification is sent for the selected time after receiving the notification.

  Note

  If the Resolved notification feature is active, notifications are not sent for the set period after sending a notification in RECOVERED state.

• Resolved notification: When this option is enabled, the events appear as In progress in the Event History menu. When an event of Critical or Warning level is resolved, normal (RECOVERED) notifications are received. This function can be enabled or disabled by selecting the toggle button.

  

  Note

  For more information about Event History, see the following.

Tip

The criteria for sending notifications differ depending on the following conditions:

Consecutive	Resolved notification	Action
Not used	On	Notifications are sent when the specified event conditions are met or resolved.
	Off	The notifications are sent whenever the specified conditions are met.
Consecutive N Occurrences	On	Notifications are sent when a condition is met at least N times or an event is resolved at least N times.
	Off	A notification is sent if the event conditions you set are met more than N times. After sending a notification, the count is reset and it is recounted.

Select event target

You can set to send events that occur only on specific agents as notifications. Click the Agent (Instance) item and then select a desired agent. After selecting the agent, you can additionally select the database name (DbName) of the connected DB server.

Note

• Depending on the provided template, selectable targets may differ.

• To check the event occurrence status for the selected targets, select RUN in Define event condition.

• If you do not select a target, notifications are sent to all agents included in the project. When an event occurs across all agents, it can generate numerous notifications.

Basic information and notification setting

You can write a title and message for the event received as a notification, and then select the recipients.

• Activate events: You can enable the current events.

• Event title: The event name of the basic template has been specified. You can edit the event name as you want.

• Message: The message of the basic template has been specified. You can edit the message as you want. If the button is clicked, you can see the history of previously entered messages.

  Tip

  You can write a message by entering the ${Tag} or ${Field} variable in the message field.

  In Analysis > Metrics Search, select Category and then check the ${Tag} or ${Field} variable that can be entered. For the Category name of the current event template, see the Category in the following

• Test alert: When receiving notifications as events, you can pre-check the specified event name and message. Testing is possible only when the required items (Indicatorsettings, Event title, and Message) are all entered.

  Note

  During testing, substitution for actual metric values or variables does not work, and the notifications cannot be sent only to users with recipient tags.

• Event reception: You can select members to receive notifications from current events.

  • Receive all: You can send notifications to all the members in the project.

  • Receive selected tags: It sends notifications to project members and 3rd-party plugins with the selected tags. Click Add tag or to select a tag from the tag list.

  Note

  In Alert > Notifications, you can set the tags in project members and 3rd-party plug-ins. For more information, see the following.

Sharing all event settings

You can download the settings of the default event and all other events as a JSON format file, allowing you to share the settings between products of the same type. This simplifies repetitive event configurations.

Export

On the screen, select JSON Batch Download. A JSON file containing all event settings are downloaded. The format of the JSON file name is integrated-event-YYYY-MM-DD.json.

The JSON data structure is as follows:

integrated-event

{
  "productType": "{productType}",
  "platform": "{platform}",
  "events": {
    "HITMAP": {
      ...
    },
    "LOG_REALTIME": [
      {...}
    ],
    "METRICS": [
      {...}
    ],
    "COMPOSITE_LOG": [
      {...}
    ],
    "BASIC": [
      {...}
    ],
    "COMPOSITE_METRICS": [
      {...}
    ],
    "ANOMALY": [
      {...}
    ]
  }
}

The sub properties of the events property correspond to the following event settings.

• BASIC: Default

• METRICS: Metrics

• COMPOSITE_METRICS: Composite metrics

• ANOMALY: Anomaly detection

• LOG_REALTIME: Real-time log event

• COMPOSITE_LOG: Composite log event

Note

The structure of the JSON data and sub properties of the events property may differ depending on the product (platform) or product type (productType).

Caution

If you arbitrarily modify the value of the productType or platform property among the JSON data properties, the events may not work in other projects.

Load
