System Event

The System Event condition enables you to setup an Alarm Detection for the various Event types.

Setting

Description

Type

The parameters in the following example do not apply to any specific system and are only presented here to enhance understanding of the alarm condition.

  1. Configure an Alarm Detection that applies the System Event condition.

  2. On the Edit Alarm Condition dialog box, from the Event Type drop-down list, select Workflow State Event.

  3. On the Filter table double-click workflowName; the Edit Match Value dialog box opens.

  4. Click Add to browse and look for the specific workflow.

  5. Enter a limit of occurred more than 3 times during the last 24 hours.

The alarm will be triggered by every 4th occurrence of a "Workflow State Event" during the last 24 hours.

...

The Unreachable Execution Context condition enables you to setup an Alarm Detection base on selected Pico Instance, except platform.

Item

Description

Pico Instance

Select a Pico instance for configure alarm, it can be Platform, EC

Unreachable due to normal shutdown

Unchecked this checkbox to ignore the pico unreachable due to shutdown by purpose.

Limits

Enable "During Last" checkbox to further focus on the X duration of Minutes/ Hour.

  1. At the bottom of the Alarm Detection configuration, click Add; the Add Alarm Condition dialog box opens.

  2.  From the Alarm Condition drop-down list select Workflow Alarm Value.

  3.  From theValue  drop-down list, select the name of the variable that you created.

  4.  Click Browse... to select the Workflow that the Alarm Detection should guard.

  5.  Configure the Limits according to the description of The Workflow Alarm Value and click OK.

Setting

Description

Value

Select an alarm value from the drop-down list.

Workflow

Click Browse... to enter the workflow(s) that you want to apply the alarm to.

Limits

Summation: Select this check box to add up the dispatchAlarmValue variable (countBillingFiles in the figure above, The Workflow Alarm Value configuration) whenever it is invoked. Alarm Detector compares this total value with the alarm limit (exceeds or falls below) and generates an alarm message accordingly.

Note: Selecting Summation means that the During Last entry refers to the time period during which a sum is added up. Once the set period has ended, that sum is compared with the limit value.

For All Workflows: Select this check box to add up the values (see Summation above) of all the workflows that the alarm supervises. Alarm Detector compares this total value with the alarm limit (exceeds or falls below) and generates an alarm message accordingly.

Note!

This check box can only be selected when Workflow is set to Any.

For further information about Limits see the section above, https://infozone.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/UEPE4D/pages/107351066/Alarm+Detection+4.0#Host-Statistic-Value .

Workflow Execution Time

The Workflow Execution Time condition enables you to generate an alarm whenever the execution time of a particular, or all workflows, exceed or fall below the time limit that you specify.

Setting

Description

Workflow

The default workflow value is Any. Use this value when you want to apply the condition to all the Workflows. Otherwise, click Browse to select a Workflow that you apply the condition to.

The parameters in the following example do not apply to any specific system and are only presented here to enhance understanding of the alarm condition.

A telecom provider wants the system to identify a workflow that has recently run out of input, and to generate an alarm that warns about a processing time that is too short.

  1. Configure an Alarm Detection to use the Workflow Execution Time condition

  2. Click Browse...; the Workflow Selection dialog box opens.

  3. At the bottom of the dialog box click Any.

  4. Set a limit of Falls below 2 seconds

An alarm is generated whenever an active workflow seems to process data too fast (in less than 2 seconds).

...

The Workflow Group Execution Time alarm condition enables you to generate an alarm whenever the execution time of a workflow group exceeds or falls below the time limit that you specify.

Setting

Description

Workflow Group

Enter the address of the workflow group to which you want to apply the alarm.

The parameters in the following example do not apply to any specific system and are only presented here to enhance understanding of the alarm condition.

You want the system to generate an alarm if a billing workflow group has been active longer than 3 hours.

  1. Configure an Alarm Detection that uses the Workflow Group Execution Time condition.

  2. On the Edit Alarm Condition dialog box, enter the workflow group you want the alarm detection to supervise.

  3. Enter a limit of Exceeds 3 hours.

The alarm will be triggered if the workflow group has been active longer than 3 hours.

...

The Workflow Throughput alarm condition enables you to create an alarm if the volume-per-time processing rate of a particular workflow exceeds, or falls below, the throughput limit that you specify.

Setting

Description

Workflow

Select a workflow with the throughput value, the processing speed, that you want to supervise. For further information about the throughput value calculation, see Throughput Calculation in Workflow Properties (4.0). An alarm is generated if the throughput value is not within the condition limits.

Limits

For information about Limits see the section above, Host Statistic Value.

The parameters in the following example do not apply to any specific system and are only presented here to enhance understanding of the alarm condition.

You want the system to warn you on detection of decreased processing rate.

  1. Configure an Alarm Detection to use the workflow throughput condition

  2. On the Edit Alarm Condition dialog box, select the workflow with the processing rate that you want to supervise.

  3. Enter a limit of Falls Below 50000 (batches, UDRs, Bytearray).

The alarm will be triggered by every occurrence of a workflow slowing down its processing rate to a throughput that is lower than 50000 units per second.
