9.0
This article covers information relevant only to the version 9.0 release.
You can use the actions for monitor management feature in our web UI to enhance visibility into the performance of your monitor clusters. It helps your troubleshooting capabilities by providing more detailed views of your monitor clusters, sites, and connected data sources in the web UI.
You can also use web UI metrics to create triggers in the Real-Time Console. To display these metrics, open the Sites, Monitors, or Connected Data Sources views from the Machines (Monitor) topology:
Note
The new monitor metrics are not visible in the Real-Time Console, however they appear in the web UI for 9.0.
Run monitor actions
To open the monitor management menu:
In the Machines (Monitor) topology, right-click a machine, or select multiple machines as needed.
Select Monitor management and click the action that you want to implement on the monitor(s).
You can run the following actions on monitors in the web UI:
Start monitor
Stop monitor
Restart monitor
Set monitor to maintenance
Set monitor capacity
Set public DNS name
Allow remediation actions
To allow our support team to remotely perform remediation actions on your monitors, run this PowerShell cmdlet.
Create triggers with monitor metrics
To create triggers based on monitor metrics:
In the Real-Time Console, perform these steps to create a trigger.
From the Record Type dropdown in the Add New Trigger popup, select either Folder or Machine, and click Next.
Click Filter editor… > New Item, and select the monitor metrics as needed to add conditions to the trigger:
Configure the conditions and follow-up actions as needed and click Finish.
Monitor metrics
You can use the following metrics as trigger conditions in the Real-Time Console for folder and machine record types:
