Limit Value

Specifies the value that the Metric is compared to. This should be a number.

Limit Count

The alert will only be generated if the number of objects for which the Metric exceeds the Limit
Value (in the direction specified by Direction) is greater than Limit Count in any given sample. This
should be an integer.

Condition

Specifies the condition (min_read_iops, min_write_iops, min_total_iops) that should be monitored.

Condition Value

Specifies the condition value.

Recipient

Email address to which the alert email should be sent.

Example of an Alert Rule

Figure 47 (page 124)

shows an example of a configured alert. In this example, System Reporter

will send an email alert to email@address each time it inserts a high-resolution sample in which
more than 0 (Limit Count) VLUNs (including VLUNs in all systems) has a total (reads and writes
included) average service time in millisecs of greater than (>) 1000 (Limit Value).

Figure 47 Example of an alert rule

An example of the email alert is shown

Figure 48 (page 124)

:

Figure 48 Example of an alert email

The email shows that a single VLUN instance had an average total service time of 2098.800680
millisec during a high-resolution sampling interval.

Scheduling Reports

You can have a predefined report run according to a predetermined schedule by choosing the
Scheduled Reports tab from the System Reporter Policies window (
