Performance REPORTING

Well, we here at ATM.com like to think that we came up with some rather clever ways to calm some of the spurtive alerts that originate from servers in your dashboard.  Well, the Development team did us one better! 


In leiu of the techniques previously written about here 

• Fine-Tune your Performance Monitoring checks in GFI MAX

• Reducing Alerts for better Signal-to-Noise in RemoteManagement

With the release of Dashboard v5.24 & Agent v8.13*, Performance Monitoring  has been augmented to allow for reporting only mode.  To enable this setting, use the Alert Settings either at the Server-level (Edit Server), or the Dashboard-level (Settings -> Alert Settings - Server Monitoring tab).

The Alert Settings Dialogue from the Settings Menu

So, to follow the Reducing Alerts ... article process, you can now turn your Dashboard Settings to "Report Only" so that no new server will send you an abundance of emails when you bring them on.

As you analyze the server for its performance "norm" you can then Edit the Server directly and/or its thresholds to alert as described previously.
