Viewing Hierarchy rules
A hierarchy rule is a condition that selects the set of entities to which a hierarchy template should be applied. For details, see Hierarchies. The Hierarchy rules (Administration > Data Warehouse) page allows you to view the existing hierarchy rules.
Hierarchy rules and hierarchy templates are used by BMC Helix Continuous Optimization to manage hierarchies, and can automatically update hierarchies when new entities and data series are loaded.
For example, a hierarchy rule can dictate that the Virtual Machine template should be applied to all entities of type Virtual Host within the Virtualized Systems domain.
The Hierarchy rules table lists all the currently configured rules (excluding, by default, derived and aggregate rules) and their status.
Predefined hierarchy templates
Hierarchy template name | Description |
|---|---|
Aggregate Business Driver by Domain | Generates an aggregate business driver for the domain. |
| CO Agent derived metrics | This is an automatic template (Gateway Server ETL). |
| CO Aggregated Workloads | This is an automatic template (Gateway Server ETL). |
Facility Solution - CRAC Power from Compressors | Generates CRAC Power Utilization from Compressors Power Utilization. |
Facility Solution - Line from Rack | Generates Line Power Utilization from rack data. |
Facility Solution - Rack from PDU | Generates Rack Power Utilization from PDU data. |
Facility Solution - Room from UPS/AC | Generates Room Power Metrics from UPS and AC data |
Facility Solution - Room from Line | Generates Room Environmental Metrics from Line data. |
Facility Solution - UPS Power from Phases | Generates UPS Power Utilization from Phases. |
Guest Machines - AIX | Generates virtual machines hierarchies based on data collected from pSeries system host. |
Guest Machines - HP Integrity | Generates virtual machines hierarchies based on data collected from HP-UX system host. |
Hardware Model Aggregation | Aggregates all machines of the same hardware model. |
| Object Relationships | Handles the explicit relation dataset (OBJREL). Generally it’s automatically configured. |
| OpenStack Cloud hierarchy | Aggregates the data for OpenStack cloud entities. |
Operating System - Environment Machines | Aggregates all machines of the same operating system and environment. |
Physical Host Aggregation | Aggregates of all partitions of the same physical host. |
| RHEV aggregation rule for partial collection | Aggregates of RHEV partial collections. |
Solaris system | Generates Solaris system hierarchies based on collected data. |
Solaris Zones | Generates Solaris Zone hierarchies based on collected data. |
Typical Business Driver by Domain | Generates a Business Driver equivalent for the domain. |
Typical Physical Machine for Application Layer | Creates a Physical Machine equivalent for each Application Layer. |
| Typical Virtual Machine | For each Virtual Host/Virtual Cluster, creates an additional Virtual Machine that represents the average utilization of resource due to their running Virtual Machines. |
| Typical Virtual Machine for Application Layer | Creates a Guest Machine equivalent for each Application Layer. |
| VMware Aggregation | Aggregates the data for top level VMware entities like resource pool and cluster. |
| vCloud Aggregation | Aggregates the data for top level vCloud entities like vCloud organizations and vCloud applications. |
