Monitoring plan default values

Table 6–1 identifies and describes the common monitoring plan default values that the OpenEdge resource types use. A default value defined as Enabled, Selected, or True indicates that a check mark is associated with that field to indicate that the option is set.

Table 6–1: Monitoring plan default values
Field
Default value
Description
Schedule
Default Schedule Plan
Identifies the system-defined 24/7 default schedule used when the plan is active. This default plan is the same for all Fathom resources.
Poll
5 minutes
Identifies the polling cycle, which is the frequency at which the resource's rules are checked, set up for each individual Fathom resource monitor.
Enabled
Selected
(Check mark displayed.)
Specifies whether the OpenEdge resource is enabled (started). When any OpenEdge server resource is discovered, Fathom automatically creates it with the Enabled property selected (check mark displayed).
Alerts
Enabled
Indicates whether alerts are active and will be generated when the plan is active.
Trend
True (This value is set to on.)
Indicates whether the statistical data monitored while the plan is active will (or will not) be stored to the FathomTrendDatabase.

The Trend Performance Data field value is involved in setting data collection.
Rule Summary
Default rule set for the specific OpenEdge resource
There is a default rule set for each type of OpenEdge resource. The following list identifies each rule in the respective default rule sets:
  • AppServer brokers — Broker Abnormal Shutdown.
  • WebSpeed brokers — Broker Abnormal Shutdown.
  • NameServers — Abnormal Shutdown, Broker Timeout, and Duplicate Broker UUID.

Default Schedule details

Fathom provides one default monitoring plan, entitled the Default_Schedule_Plan, per OpenEdge resource. However, when you update a monitoring plan, you can add different plans to monitor different resource activities.

Note: Fathom prevents the assignment of schedules that share overlapping time periods. For example, if you have a Default Schedule set up for a resource monitor, you cannot set up an additional plan because the Default_Schedule is defined for 7 days a week, 24 hours a day. You must modify the Default_Schedule or remove it from the plan in order to add any other plans.

Each OpenEdge resource that Fathom discovers will automatically have its own default monitoring plan and associated rule set established. You can change these default values at any time using the standard resource monitoring procedures.

Default values in the Rule Summary

All monitoring plans also includes a Rule Summary. The Rule Summary is a list of the rules and rule sets that are applied to the particular monitoring plan. Fathom automatically applies the default rule set associated with a specific OpenEdge resource to a plan. Table 6–1 also identifies the rules that comprise each of these specific rule sets.
