Health Signatures
Each sensor has a knowledge base of health signatures. You can analyze the health signatures continuously against the incoming metrics and create issues or incidents based on user impact.
Built-in events trigger issues or incidents based on health signatures that are failed on entities, and custom events trigger issues or incidents based on the thresholds of an individual metric of an entity.
For more information about built-events for the Glassfish sensor, see Built-in events reference.
