Element Description

AggregateMonitor

Defines a state machine whose health state is determined by an algorithmic analysis of its children.

Text Value

The algorithm for determining the health state of an aggregate monitor can be one of the following:

  • BestOf

  • WorstOf

Remarks

The BestOf algorithm indicates that the monitor will reflect the state of its “most healthy” child monitor. For example, if one child is at a warning state and the other is unhealthy, the reflected state will be a warning state. The WorstOf algorithm indicates that the monitor will reflect the state of its “least health” child monitor. For example, if one child is at a warning state and the other is healthy, the reflected state will be a warning state.

To see how the Algorithm element is expressed in a management pack, see AggregateMonitor.
