Applications Availability Dashboards
Hi,
I have created a new Dashboard which shows Application Availability, it is based on Incident Rules - Host Reachables where I check URL's http response code. If application is up&running it returns 200.
The thing is that I have several 24x7 applications and others 5x12 so I have to handle different schedulers to run the Monitor (HostReachable). I have no problems with 24x7 applicacions because I set the scheduler to run from "Now" to "Forever" ever 1 minute, easy. The problems is how to set the scheduler to run from Monday to Friday from 08h to 20h, I don't find how to specify these requeriments.
Thanks in advance.
Alberto.
Hi Alberto,
Have you considered creating downtimes for the incidents in question? A downtime would prevent the incidents from firing even though the monitor is returning "bad results" during the expected time frame. While perhaps not ideal, this might meet your requirements.

Thanks David,
I have created two different downtime periods for the 12x5 Applications. The firts one from 20h-08h every Working Days and the second one the whole day of the weekends.
I have another question. When an incident is triggered I see the violation in the "Application Availability" Dashboard and I can see the incident as well in the Incident Dashboard. The thing is that I want to get the WebRequest, htt Response code, etc of every check done by the Monitor. Is it possible? I don't find how to do it. I mean I want a table with every request done by the MOnitor which shows URL, Start Time, http code, etc,
Thanks.
Alberto.
Hi Alberto,
Someone can correct me if I am incorrect, but I think what you are attempting would be difficult and/or cumbersome using the Monitor measures and one or more BTs built around the measures it returns. However you can stream the contents of a BT to another process using the protobuf format and deal with the data externally. Another option might be to use BTs to build a dashboard and then further process an XML or CSV "report" created from the BT.
HTH,

Thanks David. I have followed your advice.
