Unit 13: System Monitoring ADM100
Lesson:
434
Properties Variants and Threshold Values
Lesson Duration: 45 minutes
Lesson Overview
You can implement targeted monitoring of your systems using your own
monitors that you create yourself. For these monitors to be able to work
optimally, you must adjust the threshold values for the monitoring objects
and monitoring attributes in the monitors for your system landscape. The
specific settings can be stored as properties variants.
Lesson Objectives
After completing this lesson, you will be able to:
• Activate threshold values that are suitable for your system
environment
The participants are to learn about the concept of properties variants and
about maintaining threshold values.
Business Example
Alert monitors can only be meaningfully used if the selected threshold
values for the individual monitoring attributes are set to sensible values. It
is not possible to recommend values that are generally valid, since different
values are appropriate depending on the system or operation mode.
