Presentation Transcript

  1. Alert types • EUM Alerts (aka Event Based Alerts) • BPM Transaction Alerts • RUM Application Alerts • RUM Event Alerts • RUM Transaction Alerts • CI Status Alerts • SLA Alerts • SLA Status Alerts • SLA Forecast Alerts

  2. Glossary • Trigger - a condition or criteria that determines when an alert should be sent • Alert configuration is stored in ODB • event_alert • dashboard_alert • slm_alert • forecast_alert

  3. EUM Alerts overview - triggers • Event Based triggers – an alert is calculated upon discrete samples arrival • Time Based triggers – alert is calculated upon all the samples that arrived during the specified period of time • ‘Sliding window’ calculation principle • Follow-up (positive) alert – is triggered when the conditions that previously triggered the alert are no longer true

  4. EUM Alerts overview – additional • Filters – only specific samples are used in alert calculation • Group-by – the samples used for alert calculation are grouped by the specified criteria and trigger condition is calculated for each group separately • Notification frequency • every trigger occurrence • once in a period of time • once per trigger

  5. EUM Alerts overview – actions • Send to recipient (email, SMS, pager) • Access URLs. • Send SNMP trap. • Run executable file. • Log to Event Viewer application log (Windows only). • Make specified alerts subordinate to this alert • Generate event - CEM

  6. EUM Alerts overview – lifecycle • Alert configuration (Alert Admin UI) • Alert conditions calculation (Alert Rule) • Alert message creation (Alerts Handler) • Notifications (Notifications Handler)

  7. EUM Alerts overview – diagram

  8. EUM Alerts overview – log files configuration (DPS server): • HPBSM\conf\core\Tools\log4j\marble_worker \alerts-rules.properties – alert calculation • HPBSM\conf\core\Tools\log4j\EJB\alerts.properties – alerts actions&notifications log files: • HPBSM\log\alerts\alerts.rules.log • HPBSM\log\alerts\alerts.ejb.log

  9. CI Status Alerts overview – triggers • CI Status Alerts are based on the KPI statuses of CIs in BAC dashboard. • Defined on CMDB CI KPIs, alert is send on CI status changed (i.e. when a KPI Status is changed) • The severity of the alert is based on the CI current status. • Notification templates are provided with BSM and not editable

  10. CI Status to EUM Alerts comparison CI Status Alerts • Templates are attached to alerts • No filters (just on KPIs) • Severity is calculated every trigger • ‘Once per trigger’ NF does not exist • Alert can be defined on multiple CIs EUM Alerts • Templates are attached to Recipients • Filters (on transactions, locations, etc.) • Severity is defined as part of alert config • ‘Once per trigger’ NF exists (except RUM Evt) • Alert is defined on one CI only (application)

  11. CI Status to EUM Alerts comparison CI Status Alerts • No follow-up • No dependencies • No Event Viewer action • No email output for exe actions • SM integration • Business impact + reports in email EUM Alerts • Follow-up alert • Dependencies between alerts • Event Viewer action • Support result output in email for exe action • SM integration is not supported • No Business Impact and reports in email

  12. SLA Alerts overview • Configured in purpose to see that the business IT and applications are met with the their demands and at their pick. • SLM Alerts are configured on tracking periods of SLA (day, week, month, …) • SLA Forecast Alerts’ purpose is to warn the user that the SLA is going to breached

  13. Status Alerts overview - logs configuration (DPS server): • HPBSM\conf\core\Tools\log4j\marble_worker \cialerts.properties – alert calculation • HPBSM\conf\core\Tools\log4j\EJB\alerts.properties – alerts actions&notifications log files: • HPBSM\log\marble_worker_1\status.alerts.log • HPBSM\log\alerts\alerts.ejb.log

  14. CEM overview • Event Sub System (ESS) is integrated into BSM Platform and can be used by all the applications (Omi, Impact Subsystem, etc.) • Common Event Model (CEM) describes how a normalized event in BSM 9.0 is defined • Customer is able to license additional event management functionality (e.g. Omi 9.0)

  15. CEM overview • Each alert has a configuration that defines whether an event should be created for this alert • Event Template is used to map alert attributes to the event attributes • The attributes of an CEM event can be divided into two categories: • Event attributes that must or can be provided by the different domains (e.g. Severity of the event) • Event attributes that are used/added within the event processing done in the ESS (e.g. Date Received of the event or Number Of Duplicates)

  16. Troubleshooting • Check whether your environment is not running in staging mode • Check SMTP server name in Infrastructure Settings • Check the correctness of recipient’s address Check logs for errors
