Setting Appropriate Thresholds
› Set thresholds appropriate to usage
  » Baseline current usage
    - Check typical growth rates
    - Set threshold times and exceptions

› Best practice thresholds
  » Use the “Top Ten” / “Bottom Ten”
  » Alarms for growth rates –
    Not just thresholds
    - Physical CPU/Memory/Disk/Network use
    - Alarm on Rate, not just threshold
  » Use % measures as standard
    - Will still reflect meaningful data even if resized
  » Set alarms for minimum available %
    - Long enough time to correct the problem when usage grows
      disproportionately
  » Physical performance and capacity
    - By platform component
      Physical CPU, I/O (read/write performance), network, memory
                                                                                    Page 13

Automatic Application of Cisco UCS Monitoring
› Auto-configuration
  » Auto-apply to existing elements
› Auto-monitoring
  » Auto-apply to new elements
› Nimsoft Templates
  » Policies for monitoring
  » Transportable to other instances,
    or applicable within auto-configs
    or auto-monitors
› Key metrics
  » Nimsoft includes best practices in
    the Templates
  » Templates are included with probes
