Table 4-2 Resource permissions for nodes based by scope
| Scope | Description | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Technology | You need to specify in the role dialog the nodes it is associated to. The role can be associated to a specific node, or to the “all” node option. If the “all” (default) node option is selected, new attached nodes are added automatically to the existing list of roles for that role. | ||
| Environment | The node association is based on the environment's node.
| ||
| AppTier | The node association is based on the AppTier's node. | ||
| Instance | The node association is based on the instance's node. |
Defining a role
You can define a role via the Role Settings dialog box.

Table 4-4 Instance association table
| Properties | Description |
|---|---|
| Instance | Instance name. |
| Server | Indicates the server name where the instance is running. |
| Alerts Reported | Indicates whether alerts are reported for the instance or not. |
| SNMP | Indicates whether SNMP actions are enabled for the instance or not. When enabled, all the metrics that sample the instance are automatically set with SNMP actions. When disabled, all metrics that sample the instance are set with no SNMP actions. |
| Default email | Displays the default email address of the recipient. This email address is used as a default in the email definition in the Actions tab. See About metric properties for Action settings. |

To support customized metrics that use scripts in Precise servers, Alerts InformPoint must be installed. If InformPoint is not automatically installed on the specific server where you want to run customized metrics, you can install InformPoint on that particular server manually. Use the Agent Installer's Servers screen to install the InformPoint. For more information, see the Precise Installation Guide. |
See “About About creating customized metrics” on page 184metrics.
To create a customized metric
...
- From the Metric Properties dialog box, select the Scheduling tab.
To set the sampling rate, in the Sample metric every <...> boxes, set the time (day, hours, and minutes) to the frequency, in which you want Alerts to sample the metric. If you do not want to sample this metric, select the Disable metric sampling radio button.
Info Time slice metrics’ sampling parameters are usually disabled for editing.
To modify the sampling base, in Start sampling at <...> boxes, set the time (day, hours, and minutes) in which Alerts starts to sample the metric (the day parameter is available in case the sampling rate is a week and above). The default is: Sunday, 00:00 AM.
Info These sampling parameters are useful for metrics whose sampling rate is once a day or more. For example, if sampling every 24 hours (1 day), the metric will be sampled every midnight. For sampling it at 3:00 am, change the time parameters to 3:00.
- In the Analyze metric over the last <...> boxes, set the sampling period for which you want to analyze the metric. The Sampling period is the time frame for retrieving statistical data from the monitored product. The sampling period is used only in metrics that return statistics for a period of time.
- To sample the metric during downtime period, check Sample this metric even during downtime.
- If the metric monitors an important performance aspect, check This is a key metric. Critical alerts related to a key metric are indicated by an exclamation point.
