Finding SLA Alert Rules

  1. Select Operations > Smart Search.
  2. From the Type drop-down list, select SLA Alerts, then click Search. The Summary of SLA Alert Rules page displays the information shown in Table 24-5.
  3. To restrict the number of items in the list or locate specific SLA alert rules:
    • Click the Open icon to display additional search filters. If you specify multiple search criteria, only results that match all the criteria will be returned.
    • Filter by alert rule name. In the Name field, enter the name of the search target or enter wildcard characters (use * and ? as wildcard characters to perform a more general search), then click Search.
    • This search method is preferable if the name of the alert rule is unique across all projects and paths.

    • Filter by parent service path. In the Path field, enter the path of the parent service, which is the project name and the name of the folder in which parent service resides. You can use * and ? as wildcard characters to perform a more general search. All alert rules whose parent services reside in that path are displayed.
    • The format for the Path field is as follows:
      project-name/root-folder/ . . ./parent-folder

      If a service is directly under the project, the format is as follows: project-name

    • Filter by parent service. In the Parent Service field, click Browse to display the Select Service page. Select the parent service from the list and click Submit. Click Clear to remove the parent service filter criteria, or click Search.
    • Note: Your selection in the Parent Service field restricts your choices in the Service Type field.
    • Filter by parent service type. From the Service Type drop-down list, select Proxy Services or Business Services, then click Search. Select All Services to ignore filtering by parent service type criteria.
    • Note: Your selection in the Service Type field restricts your choices in the Parent Service field.
    • Filter by rule state. From the Rule State drop-down list, select the state of the alert rule: Enabled or Disabled, then click Search. Select All to ignore the rule state filter criteria.
    • Filter by severity. From the Severity drop-down list, select to restrict SLA alerts rules to the specified level, then click Search.
    • Select the or above check box to restrict your search to the specified severity level or above (listed from the most inclusive to the most restrictive level): Normal, Warning, Minor, Critical, and Fatal.
