Cloud aggregate monitors
Just like any other monitor type in Infrastructure Management, cloud aggregate monitors support the entire range of analytic capabilities available in Infrastructure Management. You can set global or instance level thresholds (to be used with or without baselines) to define conditions to be alerted upon from the cloud environment perspective. The aggregate status monitor also introduces a grouping based approach in which you can specify thresholds based upon the percentage of children being in a certain state. For example, you can create a rule that triggers a critical alarm if 30% of the child nodes are in an impacted state or if 5% of the child nodes are in an unavailable state.
You can initiate Probable Cause Analysis on an event raised on one of the constituent elements of the compute pool. To better support Probable Cause Analysis on the compute pool, BMC recommends creating a service model to represent the important infrastructure underlying and supporting the compute pool.
