Threshold and Availability for Website

Add threshold and availability for Websites

1. Click Admin > Configuration Profiles > Threshold and Availability.
2. Click Add Threshold and Availability in Threshold and Availability screen.
3. Specify the following details for adding threshold and downtime rules for website:
   • Choose Monitor Type: Select Website from the drop down list.
   • Display Name: Provide a label for identification purpose.
   • Number of location to report monitor as down: Choose from the drop down to receive alert notification when the website is down from specified number of locations.
     
     While customizing the downtime rules, you can choose upto eight monitoring locations in order to mitigate any false alerts.
4. Threshold Configuration:
   
   • Notify when website content is modified: Move the toggle button to Yes to get notified when there is a change or modification in your website content.
   • Notify in case of read timeout: Move the toggle button to Yes to receive alerts when you're not receiving the entire HTTP response within 30 seconds.
     
     
   Threshold Type: Choose the threshold type of your preference.
   
    4.1 Static threshold: Static threshold can be selected if you wish to configure thresholds for individual attributes manually. If you're choosing the static threshold, specify the following details for configuring the threshold:
   • Notify when website content changes in percentage: Enter a value in percentage to get notified when the content in your website is changed beyond the specified threshold value. You can define separate thresholds for trouble and critical alerts. 
   • Response time threshold for primary monitoring location: Enter a value in milliseconds to get notified on trouble or critical status, if the response time violates the threshold from the primary location.
   • Response time thresholds for secondary location: Enter a value in milliseconds to get notified on trouble or critical status, if the response time from secondary location crosses the specified value.
     
     
     Advanced Threshold Settings (Strategy):
     Poll count serves as the default strategy to validate the threshold breach. You can validate threshold breach by applying multiple conditions (>, <, >=, <=, =) on your specified threshold strategy. The monitor’s status changes to ”Trouble or critical”  when the condition applied to any of the below threshold strategies hold true:

     • Threshold condition validated during the poll count (number of polls): Monitor’s status changes to trouble or critical status when the condition applied to the threshold value is continuously validated for the specified “Poll count”.
     • Average value during poll count (number of polls): Monitor’s status changes to trouble or critical status, when the average of the attribute values, for the number of polls configured, continuously justifies the condition applied on the threshold value.
     • Condition validated during time duration (in minutes): When the specified condition applied on the threshold value is continuously validated, for all the polls, during the time duration configured, monitor’s status changes to trouble or critical status.
     • Average value during time duration (in minutes): Monitor’s status changes to trouble or critical status, when the average of the attribute values, for the time duration configured, continuously justifies the condition applied on the threshold value.

     
     Multiple poll check strategy will not be applied by default. During the conditions where no strategy could be applied, the threshold breach will be validated for a single poll alone.
     
     
     To make sure the condition applied on the strategy “Strategy-3: Time duration or Strategy-4: Average value during time duration” for threshold breach detection works as intended, you must ensure that you specify a time duration which is at least twice the applied check frequency for that monitor.
     4.2. Zia-based threshold:
     The Zia-based threshold will track the abnormal spikes using anomaly detection and will offer a dynamic threshold which will be updated accordingly. If you're choosing Zia-based threshold, choose associated anomaly severityand the status accordingly.
     • Response time threshold for primary monitoring location: Choose the anomaly severity, associated severity status and IT automation to be applied and get notified in case if trouble or critical status, if the response time from the primary location has an anomaly.
     • Response time thresholds for secondary monitoring location: Choose the anomaly severity, associated severity status and IT automation to be applied and get notified in case if trouble or critical status, if the response time from the primary location has an anomaly.
