Bulk Enable Process Group Availability Monitoring

[Shekh]

Hi,

We have nearly 100 process groups within an application, and we want to enable process group availability monitoring for all of them. However, I can only find this setting (refer to the attached screenshot) within the individual process group settings.

Is there any option to enable it in bulk, rather than configuring each process group one by one?

Best Regards,
Shekhar

Hi,

It can be done using API or using Monaco.

But if your logic is alert when it is not available in all of them, I will recommend you creating process monitoring rule in tenant level and filtering base on host metadata.

Hello @AntonPineiro , Could you please help me figure out the appropriate API to use?

Hi,

You can check API here:

Keep in mind you need to know process group ids in advance.

I would recommend you using general process monitoring rule in tenant level and filtering base on metadata.

If you do not need rules as alert me when only one process is running in these 3 instances... Best way would be a general rule instead of process group by process group.

Best regards

Not that I am aware of. You might be able to create a workflow that goes though and pulls all the PG's then takes the resulting list, and submits an API calling out each PG ID and updating the overall configuration to enable availability alerting. 

A key thing to note is that not all PGI's/PG's are always running. Like if you have a security scanner that only runs when its triggered to and it is being monitored, if you change the availability segment of the alert, it would trigger an alert when it stops running. 

Could be a great RFE for the ability within environment settings as well. Thinking of of features where you define the PG detection, maybe adopt that design to define the "Do not alert on PG process availability where EXE name is "norton Scanner" while allowing Availability alerts as on across the board. Gives you the power to cover everything but negate what you don't want which would be the lesser of what you do want.
