Date: July 2020
Subject: Machine Learning Services Update
Dear Valued Customer:
CA Technologies, a Broadcom Company, is pleased to present you with a Service Update for Machine Learning Services, an integral component of CA SYSVIEW® Performance Management (CA SYSVIEW). This Service Update delivers additional capabilities including all maintenance updates through June 2020. The Appliance Images are at the Release 2.0.06 level.
Product Capabilities
Machine Learning Services provides predictive monitoring, alerting and visual analytics capabilities, leveraging the data from CA SYSVIEW and machine learning algorithms, to determine when your systems or applications are behaving abnormally and to alert you when they start to trend toward a potential incident. The early alerting provides additional time to remediate, either manually or via automation, before the trend impacts performance or availability.
New Features Included in This Update
Anomaly Detection Refinements
This release continues to refine our anomaly detection capabilities. New customization options to reduce false positives and alert noise, configurable sensitivity parameters, and anomaly scoring will enable customers to adjust anomaly detection to their particular environment's needs and reduce non-meaningful alerts.
Alarm Management Enhancement
Because customer environments and tolerance levels are never the same, CA Mainframe Operational Intelligence can now generate alerts based on customer-defined rules. In this release, Alarm Management has been enhanced with the introduction of a Rules Engine and advanced machine learning parameters. By setting up rules and adjusting the machine learning parameters, you can better determine what you want to be alerted about and when. The Rules Builder user interface offers a straightforward means to define rules that allow you to see only the alerts that matter to you, while eliminating false positives and noise.
Custom User Views in the Alerts Console
This release enables you to define custom views in the Alerts Console and the Alerts Analysis pages. Now you can customize your view of alerts by selecting the combination of subsystems and categories you want to see. You can even filter alerts based on their anomaly score. You can then save this custom view and make it your default view.
