Monitoring policies

Policies for monitoring the sources of events are displayed in the table under Source status → Monitoring policies. You can sort the table by clicking the column header of the relevant setting. Clicking on a policy opens an information pane containing its settings that can be edited.

The following columns are available:

• Name—name of the monitoring policy.
• Lower limit—lower boundary of the permissible number of incoming events as indicated in the monitoring policy.
• Upper limit—upper boundary of the permissible number of incoming events as indicated in the monitoring policy.
• Interval—period taken into account by the monitoring policy.
• Type—type of monitoring policy:
  • byCount—the monitoring policy tracks the number of incoming events.
  • byEPS—the monitoring policy tracks the rate of incoming events.
• Tenant—the tenant that owns the monitoring policy.

To add a monitoring policy:

1. In the KUMA web interface, under Source status → Monitoring policies, click Add policy and define the settings in the opened window:
   • In the Policy name field, enter a unique name for the policy you are creating. The name must contain from 1 to 128 Unicode characters.
   • In the Tenant drop-down list, select the tenant that will own the policy. Your tenant selection determines the specific sources of events that can covered by the monitoring policy.
   • In the Policy type drop-down list, select the method used to track incoming events: by rate or by number.
   • In the Lower limit and Upper limit fields, define the boundaries representing normal behavior. Deviations outside of these boundaries will trigger the monitoring policy, create an alert, and forward notifications.
   • In the Count interval field, specify the period during which the monitoring policy must take into account the data from the monitoring source. The maximum value is 14 days.
   • If necessary, specify the email addresses to which notifications about the activation of the KUMA monitoring policy should be sent. To add each address, click the Email button.

     To forward notifications, you must configure a connection to the SMTP server.

2. Click Add.

The monitoring policy will be added.

To remove a monitoring policy,

select one or more policies, then click Delete policy and confirm the action.

You cannot remove preinstalled monitoring policies or policies that have been assigned to data sources.
