Process error rule

The bank created a “Process error” rule that provides the following instructions for IBM® Sterling Control Center Monitor:

When a process competes with any return code other than 0 on any managed server, a medium-severity alert is generated in the Active Alerts Monitor.

They defined the following information for the rule:

Field Value
Name Process error
Description This rule is triggered when a process completes in error on any monitored server.
Key Event Type
Operator Matches
Value Process Ended
Key Return Code
Operator Not Equal To
Value 0
Action alert2 (predefined action that is shipped with IBM Sterling Control Center Monitor)

A schedule was not required because the rule needs to be monitored always.

The following graphic shows the building blocks that comprise the “Process error” rule:
