HP XP P9000 Replication Manager Software 7.5.0-00 User Guide (TB584-96070, July 2013)

9 Customizing monitoring parameters

You can customize Replication Manager by configuring alert notification settings, refresh intervals,

and data retention periods. You can set up alerts to monitor thresholds for copy pair status, performance

metrics and copy license usage. You can also configure refresh intervals at which the latest storage

system information is applied to the Replication Manager database and retention periods for data

items such as received alerts, write delay time, and event logs.

Setting up alerts

You can set alert conditions for preventing buffer overflow errors and thereby ensure continuity of

normal operation. Alert conditions can also be specified for copy pair status, copy license usage and

performance thresholds for each copy group, journal group, sidefile, C/T Delta (Write Delay Time)

or pool. Alerts can be set up using the Create Alert Setting Wizard.

For details on how to add alert settings, see the following:

• Setting the copy pair status monitoring conditions for each copy pair, page 131

• Setting the copy pair status monitoring conditions for each copy group, page 129

• Setting performance monitoring conditions for each copy group, page 132

• Setting performance monitoring conditions for each journal group, page 133

• Setting performance monitoring conditions for each pool, page 134

• Setting monitoring conditions for copy license usage, page 135

About alert settings

You can specify the following conditions for alerts:

• Copy pair status, page 126

• Performance threshold, page 126

• Copy license usage threshold, page 126

When an alert is issued, it is marked as Not Completed until the object leaves the monitored state

subject to the alert. (If the status is unchanged when the next monitoring interval occurs, the alert is

not re-sent.) Alerts are automatically marked as Completed according to the criteria described in “Alert

completion” on page 127.

NOTE:

An alert may be issued in the following condition regardless of the condition set by user:

• When a resource configuration is changed using the Replication Manager GUI.

• When the status of an information resource which was previously inaccessible becomes available

again.
