Setting different thresholds for different partitions in CA Performance Management (CAPM)

Products

• CA Performance Management - Usage and Administration
• DX NetOps

Issue/Introduction

Is there a way to set different thresholds for different partitions? There are some that are regularly over 80% but others where it is critical to alert at over 50%. 

Environment

DX NetOps CAPM all currently supported releases

Cause

Since the rule is applied to a group, the rule will apply to all devices and/or components in that group.

You would need to sort the items required to have different thresholds into different groups

 

Resolution

Put the partitions (or any other type of item this would apply to) in a separate group, and apply a separate Threshold Profile and rule to that group.

The following section in the TechDocs guide provides further details:

TechDocs : DX NetOps CAPM 24.3 : Configure Threshold Profiles

 

Additional Information

Assuming this part is already done, the following KB shows how to sync unsynchronized component elements, such as partitions

Also here is an example of creating a rule to place partitions named Partition / into a group once you have configured partitions to sync:
