Configure Node Group Status

[This is the context-sensitive link for the Status Configuration form.]

NNMi enables an NNMi administrator to configure the Node Group status calculations using either of the following methods:

  • Assign the Node Group the most severe status of any Node Group member. This is the default method for obtaining Node Group Status.
  • Configure the percentage thresholds for one or more Node Group target statuses. For example, when defining percentage values for a target status of Critical, you might change the default so that 30 percent of the nodes in the group must have a status of Critical for the Node Group Status to be Critical.

Tip Use the ActionsStatus Details to see how NNMi calculates the status for a selected Node Group.

You can also right-click any object in a table or map view to access the items available within the Actions menu.

To configure Node Group status calculations, do the following:

  1. Make one of the following configuration choices:

    • To assign the Node Group the most severe Status of any Node Group member, in the Status Configuration form, under Global Control, make sure Propagate Most Severe Status is checked:

      Propagate Most Severe Status 

      When this option is selected, NNMi uses the following severity order (from lowest to highest):

      No Status

      Normal

      Unknown

      Warning

      Minor

      Major

      Critical

    • To configure percentage values for a Node Group Target Status, do the following:

      1. In the Status Configuration form, under Global Control, make sure the Propagate Most Severe Status is cleared:

        Propagate Most Severe Status

      2. Configure the percentage values for a Node Group Target Status
  2. Click  Save and Close.

    NNMi applies your changes after the configuration is saved. Node Group status is updated anytime a Node Group membership changes.
