RTView Key Metrics Definitions

This table provides Key Metrics definitions for all CI Types.

 

 

CIType

SELECTOR

The name used for this Key Metric in the Metric Name column of Key Metric displays.

ALERTNAME

The name of the alert associated with this Key Metric. When blank, the Key Metric is not configured for inclusion in Key Metric displays.

 

 

CalcMode

The calculation used for the Threshold % value. The base value is calculated as the percent of the Key Metric value between 0 and the ALARMLEVEL of the associated alert. If the CalcMode is blank, this value is used. If the CalcMode is:

  • exp, the value is adjusted so that lower values are diminished. Typically, this is used for memory metrics.

  • inverse, the value is calculated in reverse of the standard thresholds. This is used when the associated alert is a low threshold alert.

  • log, a logarithmic algorithm is applied.
