Confusion over Dynamic Alarm

[Sam Green]

Hi all,

I've set up a logmon watcher and computed the baseline over the last 4 weeks.

I'm confused because no matter what I set the threshold to, it alerts.

The baseline found is 2.0, the threshold is >100.00, yet it still alerts?

What am I missing here?

Thanks in advance

We will need to see the complete logmon configuration for this.

Thanks Jim, would that be the CFG section?

[Jim Christensen]

Yes, the logmon.cfg file contents.

Hi Sam,

If you use following sample custom message you can see all values that baseline is using:

"Threshold_Dynamic - qos: ${qos_name} source: ${source} target: ${target} value: ${value} operator: ${operator} threshold: ${threshold} ${threshold_symbol} baseline: ${baseline}"

And if you fill in all 5 levels you can more easely try to understand/see/check how baseline is using the % calculation.

Thanks Luc, I'll give that a go.
