KPIs in Views

The KPIs in Views page enables you to define which KPIs are displayed in a view, and which are included in CI status calculations.

KPIs are calculated based on the view topology in the RTSM. When you modify KPI or health indicator (HI) definitions on a CI, your changes are reflected in all views which contain the CI, across OMi.

For example, suppose you have a CI with 2 child CIs, and the parent CI has a KPI that is also found on both of the child CIs. The KPI on the parent CI is calculated based on the KPIs on both of the children, even if one of the children is hidden in the view. For details on hidden children, see Find visible and hidden child CIs.

How to add or remove KPIs within a view

KPIs in Views displays a list of KPIs that are assigned within a selected view, and enables you to define whether each KPI is included in the view, included in the CI status calculation, or both.

In the view selection pane, select a view. The right pane displays the detailed list of the KPIs in the selected view.

The KPI column displays the name of the KPI.
The Include in View column defines which KPIs are included in the view. By default all KPIs are included; to remove a KPI, clear the check-box corresponding to the KPI.

When this option is selected, the KPI is displayed in Service Health views and tooltips, and the KPI is used in calculating the CI's status.

To exclude a KPI from views and tooltips and from CI calculation, clear this option for the KPI.

Note The Include in CI Status option is automatically cleared when the Include in View option is cleared.

For example, suppose you create a view for a business service, but you are interested only in the infrastructure data. In this case, you can clear the Application domain KPIs, and you will not see these KPIs in the Service Health components.
The Include in CI Status column defines which KPIs are included in the CI status calculation based on all KPIs on the CI. By default all KPIs are included; to remove a KPI, clear the check-box corresponding to the KPI.

When this option is selected, the KPI is used in calculating CI status, when CI status is calculated using all the CI's KPIs.

To exclude a KPI from CI calculation, clear this option for the KPI.

For example, suppose you want the status of the CIs in Top View to be set based only on infrastructure KPIs since they are important to you, but you still want to see the Application domain KPIs. In this case, you can clear the Application domain KPIs, and they will not be used to set CI status in Top View.
