  1. From the Metric Properties dialog box, select the Scheduling tab.
  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.
  5. To sample the metric during downtime period, check Sample this metric even during downtime.
  6. 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.
