Use monitoring plans to set up rules-related criteria

The values defined for each set of rule, alert, and action elements comprise an OpenEdge Management monitoring plan. A resource monitoring plan uses:

• A rule definition and its associated threshold values
• An action that is initiated when the rule is violated
• A schedule to identify when the rule is applied
• A polling interval that determines how often the rule is evaluated

Once a polling interval (that is, the time frequency with which a resource is monitored) is set, OpenEdge Management recognizes the values you define for the monitoring plan attributes and executes them.

See Example: Reviewing polled alert fields and Example: Reviewing asynchronous alert fields for detailed information about setting up and maintaining alert-related details on monitoring plans.
