Applying thresholds and actions for a monitor

When you have specified your threshold values and chosen to log events, you can select whether to always apply these thresholds and actions, or to apply them only on the days and times you choose.

Note: Because system monitors run continuously, the following information does not apply.

If you select to apply thresholds and actions during specified times, you must select the starting time and the stopping time. If the central system is in a different time zone from the endpoint system, you should be aware that the thresholds and actions will be applied when the starting time is reached on the endpoint system that you are monitoring. You must also select at least one day that you want the thresholds and actions to apply. The thresholds and actions apply from the selected starting time on the selected day until the next occurrence of the stopping time on the endpoint system.

For example, if you want to apply your thresholds and actions overnight on Monday night, you can select 11:00 p.m. as the From time and 6:00 a.m. as the To time and check Monday. The actions that you specified occur whenever the specified thresholds are reached at any time between 11:00 p.m. on Monday and 6:00 a.m. on Tuesday.

Use the online help to finish creating your monitor. The online help also contains instructions on starting your monitor.
