Issue/Introduction

The first threshold is already configured in the default threshold and watches location. 

We need a second threshold need to be configured using a watch.

When using watch there is no attribute to get aggregated cpu alarms and only giving single instance alarms.

How do we configure the watcher to give aggregated alarms?

 

 

 

Environment

Release : All

Component : Spectrum Core / SpectroSERVER

Resolution

For a watch, you can compute it in the expression.

For example, if you know there are 4 CPU's on the device and they are instanced 1, 2, 3, 4, your expression could be the following:

((NRM_DeviceCPUUtilization.1 + NRM_DeviceCPUUtilization.2 + NRM_DeviceCPUUtilization.3 + NRM_DeviceCPUUtilization.4)  / 4 )

There are issues with this though:

1. Not all devices have 4 CPU's. Some have fewer and some have more

2. The instances may not all be 1, 2, 3, 4.....
