Display Alert Threshold in RCC columns

Post by Robert_in_MTL »

Hi,
is there a way to display a culumn with the set treshold for each tests.

as a simple example, I have a folder with many tests for an FTP server, a bunch a these tests are simply "count files" tests for many FTP folders that fire alerts if the tested folder has reached 500 files.
In RCC, I would like to see a column displaying that "Treshold setting" (500) to have a fast view of all my tests.


Because the "test Method" column only shows the test type, not the set treshold

I might not sound clear enough, tell me if I need to clarify.

Thank you !

You may add custom column with %AlertThreshold% or %AlertThresholdValue% variables.
Open Folder properties dialog (right mouse click on Folder name -> Properties), select "Columns" page, select "Use folder's own column settings" if needed, doubleclick on "Custom field 1", specify %AlertThreshold% in "Field value" and some name in Field title. Make sure this field is marked.

This Custom fields can be also set in per User basis using menu User -> GUI preferences -> Columns

I assume that it is not possible yet to do that on the web service right?

Web Service does not provide such options.
If you need this for Count Files test method and no statistic analysis required (e.g. average reply) for these test items, you may use "Tune up Reply value" option with expression like the following:
%SuggestedReply% / %AlertThresholdValue%

This will display files count and threshold value in Reply field of HostMonitor, RCC and Web Service.
