Health Metric Rules Configuration
You can configure health metrics for none, some, or all types of cluster members, as desired.
First you specify the cluster member for which a set of rules will apply. Then you configure the individual rules. You can use either of the following as the basis of the rule:
- A characteristic of the specified member’s child cluster members: either the number that is active or inactive, or their health level.
- The specified cluster member’s number and frequency of alerts at a certain severity.
When setting up a health metric rule, put the most severe health level first. Within each clustermember element, the MM server examines the setproperty element that is closest to the top of the file first. When a health metric threshold for a cluster member is met, the application stops and does not process additional thresholds for that member.
If you are configuring all three levels, you would put critical first, then warning, and finally normal.
See Health Metric Rule Configuration Reference for more details on the settings referenced in this procedure.
