Setting restart detection

BMC AMI Ops Insight includes automatic detection of restarts on Db2 subsystems. When the product detects a restart on one of the monitored subsystems it temporarily suspends scoring for certain KPI groups to avoid sending notifications for false positives that are generated by the restart.

You can set the maximum amount of time scoring is suspended for the KPI Groups. If KPI Groups stabilize before they reach the maximum exclusion time, scoring is reinstated for them. If a restart is detected and you want the product to score for the subsystem anyway, you can release the subsystem. 

If you click on the KPI Groups text in the explanation on the page, a list of the KPI Groups that are affected by a restart is displayed.

To set the exclusion time

1. Click the Administration icon  in the title bar. 
2. Click Settings > Restart Detection in the menu on the left side.
3. Next to Maximum Exclusion Time, click Edit.
   

4. Select one of the following options:

   4 Hours	Default value
   Custom	Any number of hours and minutes up to 168 hours
   168 Hours	Maximum value
   Disable	Disables the maximum exclusion time If you select this option, scoring for the KPIs is suspended until they stabilize, regardless of the amount of time required.

5. Click .

To release a subsystem

On the row of the subsystem you want to release, click the trash icon in the Action. The subsystem is released and scoring resumes as normal.
