Incident-detection rules
Incident-detection rules determine how the system detects, analyzes, and notifies you about problems (incidents) in your web traffic.
The BMC Real End User Experience Monitoring provides the following types of incident-detection rules:
Incident-detection rule types
Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Performance rules cause the system to declare incidents when it detects an abnormal number of pages violating service level thresholds (SLTs). |
| Availability rules cause the system to declare incidents when it detects an abnormally high percentage of requests with errors. |
| Volume rules cause the system to declare incidents when it detects an abnormally high number of requests. |

Volume
The Incident detection page of the Real User Analyzer component (on the Administration tab, point to Threshold and problem detection and click Incident detection) shows how many incident-detection rules of each type are configured for every Watchpoint.
Incident detection overview
For every Watchpoint, you can specify the following information:
- How the system identifies normal and abnormal behavior in your web traffic
- When the system declares an incident
- When the system notifies you that a critical incident has occurred (does not apply to regular incidents)
- How the system correlates incident data with traffic properties to identify the root cause of an incident
