Alex,
Can you add 'Macro Variables' as a condition to raise alerts ? Here is an example.
I have an SNMP test monitoring a WAN link. It collects "Input bps" and "Output bps". I want an Alert raised with 'Average' response reaches a particular value. Example : If the line speed is 128 Kbps, an alert should be raised if 'Average' response time touches 80 Kbps. This would be a clear indication of Congestion and will greatly help Network Admins.
Thanks,
Arun. |

But why will change value of the macro variable?

Alex,
Maybe I shouldn't have used the word 'macro variable'. I am just interested in raising an alert when the 'Average reply' value crosses a certain limit. As mentioned above, I am collecting a WAN link throughput (bits/second) using the 'SNMP' test method. The utilization keeps fluctuating. But an increasing 'Average' value gives an indication of congestion. This is what I like to be notified as an alert.
Thanks,
Arun. |

Alex,
I managed to get the desired result. I defined a new 'ODBC Query' test, defined a query to get 'AvReply' for the particular SNMP test from 'DBF-FULL' and configured 'Alert' when value is '>' some value. It works fine.
Still, if you can give a better, simpler solution, would highly appreciate it. Maybe, sometime in the future.
Thanks,
Arun. |

Oh, now I see. Alert threshold is constant but you want to compare it with Average Reply instead of Reply. Truth to say I don't see solution that better than yours. May be some scripting language for alert profiles in future....
