7.40 agents more sensitive to processor overruns?

Steve Kadish — Tue, 04 Oct 2005 12:21:45 GMT

Hi all,

I upgraded all my servers to the v.7.40 agents last week. Since then, we are getting many more alerts of processor time degraded and failed. Are the 7.40 agents more sensitive to these conditions?

Thanks,

Steve,
I definately agree, disk busy thresholds also seem more sensitive.
The change has meant I've had to disable thresholds on servers as they're just not representative of the workload.

Thanks, Rob, for confirming my suspicions. Have you been disabling the threshhold simply by moving the "pointers" down to 0, or is there a more sophisticated method which I don't know about?

Thanks,
- Steve

Just dropping them down to zero seemed to work.
