This chapter describes the organization of KPIs in the KPI tree on the main screen. Further, it provides you a short description of the KPI context menu.

For information on how to display a KPI, see (DI-2005) Display KPIs.

KPI tree

In the KPI tree, the list of KPIs is divided into logical groups and each group can contain subgroups. You can add a specific KPI to one or more groups by clicking on in the toolbar, which navigates you into the KPI group maintenance. The KPI maintenance is described in (DI-2005) KPI Groups.

The main group in the KPI tree is called All KPI. This group contains all groups and all KPIs, which aren't associated to any group.

KPI tree

Groups in a KPI tree have either an active or an inactive status. A KPI group is inactive, only when all KPI values for the selected systems and servers, weren't measured in the selected time interval.

KPI context menu

To open the KPI context menu, in the context menu choose a specific KPI in KPI groups. The menu provides a default set of functions which may be executed for each KPI.

Change threshold or Set threshold

Set threshold appears when you haven't set an alert for a KPI. Select this option to create an alert.

Change Threshold appears in the case you have already set an alert for a KPI. After selecting this option, you may change the threshold values of an existing alert.

For more information, see (DI-2005) Set up an Alert with a Threshold.

Anomaly settings

Under Anomaly settings you may create or change an alert for anomaly detection or you may simulate the behavior of a collector for anomaly detection.

For more information, see (DI-2005) Set up an Anomaly Alert.

Detail tables

The functionality 'Detail table(s)' is available only when a Detail table exists for the selected KPI. When not, this functionality is not visible. For more information, see (DI-2005) KPI Details Displayed in a Detail Table.
