Specifying Alert Dependencies
Monitor’s color is always the health of the individual
monitor.
Color reflects the worst color of dependents and internal
monitors.
Dependents health in turn is determined by the health of it’s
dependent nodes and internal monitors.
You add nodes and arrange the associations between existing
monitors and profiles using the arrow buttons on the Alert
Dependencies page. Select a dependency tree node or monitor
and then use the arrow buttons to move the node or monitor in
the tree hierarchy.
When you add a node to the Alert Dependency tree, you specify
a name and the number of monitors that must be in a Warning
or Critical state before that node is in an alert state. The
following conditions apply to Alert Dependency nodes:
Number in Warning or Critical state refers ONLY to
monitors.
Alert Dependency node holds state for monitors under node.
Dependency is between nodes.
The Alert dependency tree has the following icons:
Closed node – Click the icon or double-click the name to
expand the node and view child nodes and monitors.
Open node – Click the icon or double-click the name to collapse
the node and hide child nodes and monitors.
Dependency tree node – Use Add Node, Modify, and Remove to
define nodes and the dependency node responses for the
monitors below the node. Use the arrow buttons to move
dependency nodes within the tree hierarchy.
