BTs for alerting
Hi All,
For a BT to trigger an incident does it need to be stored in the PW? I looked in the documentation and it said it was required for charting purposes, but didn't elaborate much further. Normally I would just store this in the PW but this particular thing has the potentail for a measure explosion. Any clarification will help.
thanks,
Kyle

Yes, it does need to be stored in the PW. The checkbox for "Store Results in Performance Warehouse" could equally well be labeled "Create result measures".
If you try to create an incident with a BT result measure that does not "store in PW", 6.2 gives you a warning, "This incident rule has no effect since at least one of its measures is configured to not create a timeseries."
I'd show it to you but you can't attach images to comments (
).

That's unfortunate, I hypothesized that was the case. Thanks for the quick response though
