Changing the settings criteria for System Availability

This topic describes how to change the System Availability settings criteria in IBM Director.

System Availability scans for problematic systems within a range of time. The time begins a specified number of days in the past (the default is 30) and ends with the current time. The number of unplanned outages that occur in this time frame is counted, and if the total number meets or exceeds the specified count, the managed system is marked as problematic. You can also specify a percentage of time in which the managed system has unplanned outages, instead of a specific number of outages, by selecting the Percentage check box.

  1. To specify the settings criteria, click File > Settings.
  2. In the Settings window, change any of the criteria; then, click Save.
    Note: Select Use all available data to evaluate all persistent data available in the IBM Director Server database.

    All system-availability reports that are run after you click Save use the new settings.
