OneSight Administrator Guide

Global Metric Manager
If you neglect to provide a mapping for a specific string,
OneSight will consider this a Sample Failure, and report the
String that was returned. String Mappings can also be used to
translate a number to a String for display in OneSight Status.
This is helpful when numbers represent an objects state.
Note that string matching is case-insensitive and data that has a
colon cannot be used in string mapping.
Sample Continuously – Select to sample continuously. This field is
only available when Metric Type is Perl Expression value.
File/Directory Must Exist – Select to check that the file/directory
exists.
Directory Range – Specify whether to monitor all directories
including sub directories or to monitor only the top directory. This
field applies to all metric types except File/Directory Existence
monitors.
Alert Collection Mode – Select how you want alerts to be processed.
Report Alerts as they Occur – If multiple alerts occur on the same
trigger they are all sent. Alerts with the same timestamp as a
previous alert will not be sent.
Report First Alert Encountered for a Trigger – The first alert that
occurs during a sample run for a specific trigger is the only one
sent. Subsequent alerts for the same trigger are ignored.
Report Last Alert Encountered for a Trigger – The last alert that
occurs during a sample run for a specific trigger is the only one
sent. Previous alerts for the same trigger are ignored.
Report all Alerts for a Trigger as a bundle – Send all alerts that
occur for a specific trigger during the sample run as one alert
message.
