Isolating and Resolving Issues with Problem Fingerprinting
When a KPI for an application or tier violates a threshold, vCenter Operations Manager examines the events
that preceded the violation. If it finds enough related information, it captures the set of events that preceded
the violation as a fingerprint. If vCenter Operations Manager finds a similar series of events in the future, it
can issue a predictive alert to warn of a likely KPI violation.
Fingerprinting
helps you to quickly isolate and resolve problems by reducing the number of possible silos and
tiers in which a problem might have occurred, capturing the events that precede a problem for root-cause
analysis, and notifying you of problems before they occur.
You can see fingerprint information on the Problem Fingerprint Library page. If you select a fingerprint branch
in the left pane, the details for that branch appear in the right pane.
