Situation descriptions

Each situation description provides information about the situation that you can use to monitor the condition of systems in your network.

The situation descriptions provide the following information:

Description: Information about the conditions that the situation tests.
Formula: Syntax that contains one or more logical expressions describing the conditions for the situation to monitor.
Distribution: Whether the situation is automatically distributed to instances of the agent or is available for manual distribution.
Run at startup: Whether the situation starts monitoring when the agent starts.
Sampling interval: Number of seconds that elapse between one sample of data that the monitoring agent collects for the server and the next sample.
Situation persistence: Whether the conditions specified in the situation evaluate to "true" for the defined number of occurrences in a row before the situation is raised. The default of one means that no persistence-checking takes place.
Severity: Severity of the predefined events: Warning, Informational, or Critical.
Clearing conditions: Controls when a true situation closes: after a period of time, when another situation is true, or whichever occurs first if both are selected.
