Configuration tips & tricks common to most monitors

Multi thresholds syntax

This syntax allows to set multiple thresholds/severity associations within a single threshold field for the monitors that supports it
Example:
- value > 80% → WARNING
- value > 90% → CRITICAL

G2W:50 → 50 is the threshold to set a WARNING
W2M:80 → 80 is the threshold to move from WARNING to MAJOR
M2W:70 → 70 is the threshold to move from MAJOR to WARNING
You can combine multiple associations on the same line: G2W:50 W2M:80 M2W:70
With this example: G2W:80 W2M:90, the below severity will be used:
- value < 80 → No alarm
- value = 80 → WARNING
- value = 89 → WARNING
- value >= 90 → MAJOR

syntax	effect	example
* or .*	Matches any string
`abc`	Matches any string containing `abc`	`admin` matches `superadmin`
`abc,xyz,…`	A coma separated list, matches any string containing at least one member	`admin,extended` matches `extended_user`
`!abc`	Matches any string not containing `abc`	`!admin` does not match `superadmin`
`!abc,!xyz,…`	A coma separated list of exclusions	`!admin,!extended` does not match `admin_user`
`abc+xyz+…`	Match string only containing all members	`admin+user` does not match `admin_password`
Regexp	Match strings matching a valid regular expression	`admin.*` matches `admin_password`

Note:

abc* does not match any string starting with abc
- abcd → no match
- abccc → match
In such case you must use abc.* (as per regex syntax)

It is possible to set rules to exclude a particular set of data from the monitoring.
Those rules must be defined before the actual monitoring rules.
To set an exclusion rule, set the appropriate filter and select DISABLED as severity
Each result item matching the rule will be removed from the pool of results and won't be processed by next rules

Shortdumps

Active	Instance	Client	Error Id	Report	Time period (min)	Max dumps	Aggregates	Severity	Auto clear	Alarm	Metric	Report
true	*	800	*	*	15	10	true	DISABLED	true	true	false	true
true	*	*	*	Z_FI_REPORT	15	10	true	DISABLED	true	true	false	true
true	*	*	*	*	15	10	true	WARNING	true	true	false	true

In this example, all shortdumps will be monitored, except for the ones from client 800 or on report Z_FI_REPORT
