Note
titleNote!

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.

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.
