Configuring notification and monitoring settings
After you select resources and metrics, and click Add Alarms, records for the resources are added to
the Alarms table under Alarm Configuration tab. You should configure the following settings for the
resources, for XP Performance Advisor to start monitoring the selected resources:
• Setting dispatch levels. For more information, see “Setting threshold and dispatch levels” on page 125
• Specifying destinations. For more information, see “Configuring alarm notifications” on page 127
• Specifying script destinations. For more information, see “Establishing scripts for alarms” on page 129
• Enabling or disabling alarms (see “Enabling or disabling alarms” on page 130
• Using the configured settings of a previous record as a template. For more information, see “Ap-
plying a template” on page 131
• Deleting resource records. For more information, see “Deleting records in the Alarms
table” on page 133
If you want to configure notification and monitoring settings across resource records, click Select All
to select all the records in the Alarms table, and then make the changes. Click Clear All to clear the
check boxes for the selected records.
Filtering records in Alarms table
There are two levels of filters that you can use to filter records in the Alarms table. Following is the
sequence in which you can filter records:
1. First level filter, which is based on resources selected in the Resource selection tree under Alarms.
The first level filter results in specific set of records corresponding to the selected resource.
2. Second level filter, which is based on the metrics and status of alarms configured on resources.
The second level filter further refines the output from first level filtering, and provides records
specific to a selected metric and alarm status.
