Key concepts for administering monitor models

Before you start to administer monitor models in IBM® Business Monitor, you need to understand key concepts, including strategies for processing and creating model versions.

Processing strategies for monitor models
When you deploy a monitor model, you can decide on several combinations of options. For example, you can choose processing strategies, and you can decide whether to enable event reordering.
Monitor model versions
To fix problems with a monitor model, or to make enhancements to the model (such as adding a metric or a monitoring context), you can create and deploy a new monitor model version. You can modify aspects of a monitor model and then deploy the new version of the model for future event processing and dashboard reporting, while preserving the data collected from previous model versions.
