Identifying formula indexes

About this task

You need to identify the index of the formula to be used as follows:

Procedure

  1. Enter the following command to export the list of formulas and indexes:
    resmgr -export frm -colNames "name dbIndex" 
    
  2. Choose the Generic formula for the metric to which you want to apply the threshold. Thresholds need to be applied to generic formulas because this is the proper database index under which the data will be stored.
  3. Identify the index of the group or resource to be used in thresholding.
  4. Enter the following command to export the list of subelement groups and indexes (use the -filter option to filter the results of the export).
    resmgr -export segp -colNames "npath dbIndex se.dbIndex se.name"
    
  5. Choose a group index that meets the following criteria:
    1. A calendar and time zone have been applied at or above the group, to the specific subelement, or to the group that a subelement is in.
    2. The group, resource, or group the specific subelement is in, is one under the reporting tree, or on a branch where reporting is performed.
