Setting weights on entities in a service

Products

Issue/Introduction

How a weight can be assigned to entities within a service, this is because it has several services without topology and there are servers that are more important than others.

Resolution

OI  does not support assigning weights to individual entities.

Instead, it supports weight assignment at the service level. If wishing to monitor critical entities, then create dedicated services for them.

For example, if having entities such as d1, d2, d3, and d4, and consider d4 more critical than d1, d2, and d3, then consider structuring the monitoring as follows:

1> Create Service S1 for d1, d2, and d3.
2->Create Service S2 specifically for d4.
3->Create a Parent Service P, where S1 and S2 are child services.
This approach maintains flexibility and clarity in monitoring critical entities without directly assigning weights to individual entities. However, users can manage the relative importance of services at the parent service level by configuring service weights.
