Editing confidence thresholds of Seasonal Event Graphs

You can edit the default confidence level thresholds of the Seasonal Event Graphs.

About this task

The confidence level of the data in the charts is displayed in two ways:
  1. The overall distribution score of each chart is displayed as high (red), medium (orange), or low (green) seasonality at the top of each chart.
  2. The degree of deviation of the events is indicated by the high (red) and medium (orange) seasonality threshold lines on the charts.
  3. The maximum confidence level of each bar is displayed as high (red), medium (orange), or low (green).
The default confidence level thresholds are as follows:
  • High: 99-100%
  • Medium: 95-99%
  • Low: 0-95%
To modify the default confidence level thresholds of the charts, see Editing confidence thresholds of Seasonal Event Graphs.

Procedure

To edit the default confidence level threshold, complete the following steps:

  1. To generate a properties file from the command-line interface, use the following command:
    nci_trigger server <UserID>/<password> NOI_DefaultValues_Export FILENAME directory/filename
    where
    SERVER
    The server where Event Analytics is installed.
    <UserID>
    The user name of the Event Analytics user.
    <password>
    The password of the Event Analytics user.
    directory
    The directory where the file is stored.
    filename
    The name of the properties file.
    For example:
    ./nci_trigger NCI impactadmin/impactpass NOI_DefaultValues_Export FILENAME
     /tmp/seasonality.props
  2. To modify the confidence level thresholds, edit the default values of the following parameters:
    • level_threshold_high = 99
    • level_threshold_medium = 95
    • level_threshold_low = 0
    Note: Other property values are overwritten by the generated properties file. You might need to update other property values. For a full list of properties, see Generated properties file.
  3. To import the modified properties file into Netcool®/Impact, use the following command:
    nci_trigger SERVER <UserID>/<password> NOI_DefaultValues_Configure FILENAME 
    directory/filename
    For example:
    ./nci_trigger NCI impactadmin/impactpass NOI_DefaultValues_Configure FILENAME
     /tmp/seasonality.props
