Easily identify whether alert is from an Alert Rule or Alert Monitor?

HI everyone,
In the "Active Alerts" view, is it possible to see which alerts are generated from a rule and which are generated from a monitor? The goal is to be able to quickly determine which alerts are from rules and could be quickly closed vs. which alerts are
from monitors that will automatically close when the state returns to normal (and shouldn't be closed by operators).
I know that the Alert Details area will show if an alert is generated by an Alert Rule or Alert Monitor, but if there were a way to add an additional column to the Active Alerts view, this would help make it visually easier to quickly differentiate between
monitors and rules.
Thanks for your help!

Just be aware of some limitations and potentials pitfalls of the scripted approach:
1) Scalability & Performance - dependant on how many alerts you have \ how often they are updated \ how many other scripts you might have running on the RMS e.g. for updating other custom fields for linking into ticketing systems.
2) Not all monitors auto-resolve. Some are timed reset monitors and, more pertinantly, others are manual reset monitors. So just knowing whether an alert has been generated by a monitor is not sufficient. Sadly, the way security works within SCOM (ie without
any great granularity), a standard operator cannot view the authoring tab to find out what sort of monitor has raised the alert (even in the alert details, the alert rule \ monitor name is no longer a link to the underlying rule \ monitor.
3) SCOM doesn't always auto-resolve monitors. This depends on the environment but I have found that in larger environments where the RMS has performance issues that monitors don't always auto-resolve correctly. In those circumstances you can't rely totally
on the alert in the console. You need to right click the alert and view the health explorer to see if the underlying health of the monitor is still unhealthy or not
If you do decide this approach then Steve Rachui has a blog about how to implement updating custom fields here:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/steverac/archive/2010/08/17/updating-custom-alert-fields-using-subscriptions-and-powershell.aspx
There is no change in SCOM 2012.

Alert Rules vs Alert Category - Is there any limitations for multiple rules

I have an alert configuration implemented already and i want to add few more rules for the same alert category. While creating the rules for new set of scenarios, I am able to create only one rule . Is there any limitations for having the rules per category ?

Hi,
If the Suppress Multiple Alerts of This Rule checkbox is selected (default setting), then no further alerts are generated once the rule has been met until the first alert has been confirmed.
There is no limitation of creating alert rule for a particular alert category.
Check out the steps of Alert rule configuration.
Creating Alert Rules
To create an alert rule in which you use a defined alert category, proceed as follows:
       1.      Give the rule a name (Description).
       2.      Select the alert category that you want to use by clicking the corresponding category in the alert category table.
       3.      If necessary, specify conditions for the sender or receiver, or both.
○       If your rule results in alerts that must be assigned to a specific message, select the option Yes for the Bound to Message condition.
○       If your rule results in alerts that are not assigned to a message, that is, they are caused by errors that occurred before the message was sent, select the option No for the Bound to Message condition.
In this case you cannot enter any further details about the sender or receiver.
○       If the rule is to cover both cases, select the Not Relevant option.
       4.      If required, restrict the errors further to:
○       Errors reported from the Integration Engine (with or without error category or error code)
○       Errors reported from the Adapter Engine (with or without adapter type)
You can enter an asterisk (*) in steps 3 and 4. You can enter just the asterisk, or enter it at the start, end, or start and end of a string.
       5.      To add the new rule to the list of alert rules, choose Add Rule.
If the Rule Activated check box is selected (default setting), the rule is automatically activated when you add it and is displayed as active.
If the Suppress Multiple Alerts of This Rule checkbox is selected (default setting), then no further alerts are generated once the rule has been met until the first alert has been confirmed.
Once you have created a rule, it is automatically displayed in the list of alert rules. If you want to display the conditions of a rule, select a rule in the list and choose Show Conditions.
Hope this will help you.

Multiple alert rules for alert category?

Hi,
I have created Alert Categories and assigned Alert Rules for them. <b>Can I assign multiple Alert rules for the same alert category?</b> I mean RTW--> Alert Configuration lets me do it. But when I test it by running report RSALERTTEST, I could get only error for one alert rule, even though I defined multiple alert rules. I haven't tested with real error out scenarios. Any update on this would be helpful.
Thanx&Regards
Navin

Hi Navin,
1) the report requires authorization object S_XMB_AUTH with area MONCONFIG and activity 02. It's actually part of the standard role SAP_XI_ADMINISTRATOR_ABAP.
2) sorry, don't know that, but you might want to check SAP Note 913858 for troubleshooting the alerting. it contains the following statement:
<i>Q10: Why are sometimes certain error categories (e.g. SXMS_TO_ADAPTER_ERRTXT) not filled?
A10: This is due to an error in the Business Object Repository when the value of a container variable exceeds 255 characters. Please implement the correction described in note #947738.</i>
3) You can configure alert rules for the way from the sender to the BPM and from the BPM to the sender. If anything happens in that communication you will get an alert. However as far as i know, the only way to trigger an alert for something that happens within the BPM is by using an according control step.

Transported Alert rule not visible in RWB - Alert Configuration

Hi ,
I have Transported Alert rule Using Below mentioned blog ..
Know How to Transport Only the Required Alert Rules !!!
I have followed the following Procedure
1. Go to Transaction SE16 Data browser.
2. Give the table name as SXMSALERTRULES and hit F7. Then Execute (F8).
3. Copy the ALERTHASHVAL field value of the entries that needs to be transported.
4. Go to transaction SE10 and Create a Workbench Request.
5. Select the Task under Workbench Request and Go to Menu Request/Task -> Change Type and select Development/Correction.
6. Double click the task and go to edit mode.
7. Enter Program ID: R3TR, Object: TABU, Objects Name: SXMSALERTRULES, press Enter and click on Functions.
8. Paste the ALERTHASHVAL field value copied in Step-3 and Save.
Now I can see the transported entries in SXMSALERTRULES table . But when I check RWB- Alert Configurations .. There is no new entry for above transported rule ...
Please tell me what is missing or where am i wrong ...

Yes, My problem is Resolved ....
Solution : -
After Transport All Alert Rules, - >
I created Manual entry for any one of the alert rule from Alert Configuration. ->
Then automatically all other transported rule came into visible state ....
So now i can see all my transported rule in Alert Config...
I dont Know , How does it happaned .. But it worked for me ... All rules got visible to me only after creating a manual entry for amy one of the alert rule ...
Hope it helps someone else ...
Guys thanks for all your comments ...

Problem with Alert rules

Hi All,
I created 6 alert rules in Alert configuration of RWB.
One of them is 'AE related alert'. For this, error occurance place is Adapter Engine and Adapter type is '*'. This is related to an alert caletory 'AE alerts'
Other 5 alerts are IE related alerts for which error occurance places are Adapter, Application, Server, Protocol & Server. All these are related to an alert category 'IE Alerts'.
For all the alert rules, Rule Active is Checked, Supress multiple alerts is not checked, connected to a message is YES, sender and receiver party/service/int/int namespace are all '*'.
Now, wheneveran error occurs, say for example mapping related error, i am getting 5 alerts from all the 5 IE related rules.
My expectation is, only one of the alerts should be sent. How can i achieve this?
Many Thanks
Chandra

Hi Prakasu
In my scenario, i do not want to use 'supress multiple alerts'.
By doing this, i will supress alert from 2nd message, till the alert from the 1st message is confirmed(both messages belonging to same interface).
I want to supress multiple alerts for the same message.
As i said earlier, i have multiple alert rules for problems in different areas (proxy, mapping, server, ).
When there is a problem in mapping, all the 5 alerts belonging to different error categories are being sent.
I only want one alert to be sent.
Many Thanks
Chandra

BAM getting random timeouts calling BPEL web service as alert rule

I have a BAM alert rule set up to call a BPEL process (web service call basically). This is part of our custom error notification and escalation solution.
In production I randomly see timeouts in the BAM event engine logs where the web service call has timed out. On the BPEL side these processes never show as being invoked, nor are they in manual recovery.
This only happens at random times, although usually in "clumps" lasting a few minutes. The rest of the time this has been fairly reliable.
Any help from the BAM experts would be appreciated. I would open an SR on this, but I have found support to literally take days/weeks to get back to me on BAM issues -- and this particular issue does not seem to be reliably reproduceable.
Here is the event engine log message:
2008-01-31 14:46:35,303 [ActionThreadPool (dynamic 11309)] ERROR - EventEngine Action exception: EEInstEv218067 EEInstAct218066 Rule Id: 1 exception: The operation has timed-out. (http://mcsbpel:8888/orabpel/MAEF/svcMaefErrorAlert/1.0)

Error while defining alert rule.

Hi ,
I am working with Alert framework and it is triggering the mail when ever message is failing at IE or AE level.
I have defined the following container variable of ABAP data type
SXMS_FROM_SERVICE                  SXI_FROM_SERVICE
SXMS_FROM_NAMESPACE          SXI_FROM_ACTION_NS
SXMS_FROM_INTERFACE          SXI_FROM_ACTION
SXMS_TO_SERVICE               SXI_TO_SERVICE
SXMS_TO_NAMESPACE                  SXI_TO_ACTION_NS
SXMS_TO_INTERFACE                   SXI_TO_ACTION.
and my long text is defined as
Sender service = &SXMS_FROM_SERVICE&
Sender namespace = &SXMS_FROM_NAMESPACE&
Sender interface = &SXMS_FROM_INTERFACE&
Receiver service = &SXMS_TO_SERVICE&
Receiver namespace = &SXMS_TO_NAMESPACE&
Receiver interface = &SXMS_TO_INTERFACE&
Now I am defining 2 alert rule one for IE and one for AE by using above alert categories.
now My Question
1. When I am putting * for sender Interface and giving receiver Interface detail it is working fine for AE errors.but it is not working when i am giving sender Interface description and putting * for receiver interface description.
I have checked several time that i am giving correct entry for sender Interface detail.
2.my long text giving the wrong Information.
when i have defined my sender interface detail and giving * for receiver interface at my alert rule ,it is copying the sender interface name and namespace name to the receiver interface and namespace name .
EX-
Sender service = ECC1
Sender namespace = testInterface
Sender interface =urn:test.com
Receiver service = 3party1
Receiver namespace = testInterface
Receiver interface = urn:test.com
and reverse is happening when I am giving * for sender detail and entry for receiver detail.
I think these container variable get filled at run time and it has to give correct detail in long text.
please help in knowing why this is happening.

Navneet

Hi..
please try this....Goto KSR2_VBP.
THere are two strategies.. 01 and 02.
01 for manual creation of settlement rules
02 for auto creation..
first check whether 01 and 02 are in your plant.
Sales and distrib....basic functions......auto gen. of settlement rules.......
here you ll find two activities.
(1)maintaining the settlement strategies and
(2)activating one among them.
If you activate 02, your problem will be solved..
Also check this..

Alert Rule Configuration in SAP PI 7.3

Hello,
I am using PI 7.3. It's java stack only. I am using component based alert configuration.
AlertConsumerJob is running. But for a particular scenario, no alert is generated, although the message status is "System error". We are getting the below error for this scenario.
com.sap.engine.services.jndi.persistent.exceptions720.NameNotFoundException: Object not found in lookup of PI_Technical team.
This alert generation is working fine for others scenarios. Means, we are able to get alert mail for other scenarios.
Please advise.

Alert rule not working! Please help!

Hi All,
   I have a Async XI scenario IDOC ---> XI -
> JMS
   In order to receive alerts if JMS adapter or server is down, I have configured alert rule in runtime workbench. The associated alert category is setup correctly with fixed recipients.
   Following are the settings in my alert rule.
   1. Conditions: Connected to message - Not Relevant
       Sender component: I have given my IDOC source system.
       Receiver component : I have given by JMS target system.
       Remaining all values: *
   2. Where did the error occur? : No Restriction
   Now for testing purpose if I give a junk server name in JMS communication channel and send the IDOC from source system, then I found that the corresponding XI message is showing as successfully processed. AT the same time in communication channel monitoring in runtime workbench I get an error:
Error creating JMS connection. JMS provider gave error message as Failed to connect to the server
But I don't receive any alert. Why? Is there anything wrong with the alert rule?
Why is the message in XI showing successfully processed even though there is an error in adapter?
Is this the normal behavior of any Async communication?
Please help! I am struggling with this issue for a long time.
I will be grateful if somebody can help me.
Thanks & Regards
Gopal

Dear Gopal,
you have a couple of questions...
1. Even thought the receiver communica channel is in error , why is the moni showing successfully processed?
Ans...This is not an unusual behavior... what is happening is as your mapping is correct the message is passing through the IE properly but when the adapter engine ( JMS receiver channel ) tries to coomunicate with the receiver JMS system it is giving error ..as u have given some wrong server details
2. Alert e-mail not received
chk whether the alert catergory u created is attached to your alert rule..
you can do this in the alert configuration tab in the RWB
Also you need to activate your alert rule ..this again can be done in alert config tab..there is a chkbox of "rule activation".
Givind points is another way to say thanks

Alert Rule - not working. Wild Card character issue

Hi All,
I have a requirement where I need to trigger alerts for mapping failures
of all the interfaces whose namespace is urn:abc.com:odna* or urn:abc.com.odna*. (in the first instance, there is dot before odna and int he second instance, a colon before odna )
So to suit both the cases, I gave urn:abc.comodna in the Alert Rule.
It worked before. But now its not working.
Then when i changed it to urn:abc.com:odna* it works again. i really dont understand how it worked before and why it fails now.
What is the reason for the unpredicatable behaviour of WildCard Character based Alert Rules?
Should Wild Card Characters be avoided completely?

Hey
Just create two separate alert rules for the same alert category
one for urn:abc.com:odna* and another for urn:abc.com.odna*.
but before that please make sure that "Suppress multiple alerts of this rule" box is unchecked.
Also please check SAP Note 913858
Thanx

Alerts not getting generated from Alert rules

Hello
I had a problem displaying Alert messages in Alert Inbox.I have created my category and I am raising the alert from BPM and thats working fine.But in some cases where I have define rules(via Alert Configuration in Runtime Workbench) for Alert Generation alerts are not getting raised.I am having the two background jobs running as per the documentation.
I checked by creating a rule where sender was BPM and receiver is File and the alert should get generated when the Adapter fails(i gave wrond username for FTP server).
Any idea what step might be missing?
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Rajeev

Hello Rajeev,
have you checked in transaction ALRTDISP if the required alert has been created at all?
If yes, then have a look at the receivers, if no then check the following things:
- are your jobs running sucessfully?
- does the alert get created when you execute SALRTPROC report manually?
- are there old alerts of the same category not confirmed and flag surpress multiple alerts activated in the alert rule?
Best regards
Christine

Alert rule container variable not getting filled up

I want to generate an alert if file content conversion fails. Created an alert category with the SXMS_TO_ADAPTER_ERRTXT as a container variable of dictionary type Char70 as included it in the long text.Created an alert rule in the RWB. I am getting the alert in the inbox but nothing is filled in for SXMS_TO_ADAPTER_ERRTXT. We are on PI7.0 SP9.
Has anybody noticed similar problems ?

Hi Sangeeta, I had the same problem but I couldn't fixed because there was not enough time to do it, I created my own message with almost all the XI container variables. And the messages are very helpful. I send you some links

Adapter engine Error not caught in alert rule &alert category

Hi All,
I have cretaed my alert rule as follow.
Conditions
      Connected To Message ; Not Relavant
       Sender Service   : *
       Sender Interface : Test_OB
       Sender NameSpace   :urn:abc.com

       Reciver Service:*
       Receiver Interface : *
       Receiver Namespace:*
Where did the error occur
    No restriction.
When i tested this alert rule, mails are getting triggered for Integration engine alerts. But when messages fails in adapter engine, i am not getting any alerts/mails at all. Why this happens?
How should i debug this?

Check this for troubleshooting: /people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/09/09/xi-alerts--troubleshooting-guide
Also the alert should be raised in Adapter Engine for Test_OB as source interface.
Uncheck Suppress Multiple Alerts of This Rule checkbox.

Set JArray values with invalid key value: "LastUpdatedTime" on new alert rule creation

Hey all!
I'm trying to create a new alert rule using version 0.9.11 of the Monitoring Library and am getting this error on alertsClient.rules.CreateOrUpdate:
"Set JArray values with invalid key value: "LastUpdatedTime". Array position index expected."
That's interesting because LastUpdatedTime is a DateTime object, and whether I set it or I don't, if I set a breakpoint, it does set itself correctly, but the API appears to be expecting a JSON hash?
I've tested alertsClient and I'm able to get existing alerts (also metrics with metrics client), so I don't believe it's an access issue.
Any ideas?
The full code I'm using for the test (borrowed virtually verbatim from the Cloud Cover video
here):
Rule newRule = new Rule
Name = "CPU Over 90%",
Id = Guid.NewGuid().ToString(),
Description = "CPU Has been over 90% for 5 minutes",
IsEnabled = true,
LastUpdatedTime = DateTime.Now,
Condition = new ThresholdRuleCondition
Operator = Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Management.Monitoring.Alerts.Models.ConditionOperator.GreaterThan,
Threshold = 90,
WindowSize = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(5),
DataSource = new RuleMetricDataSource
MetricName = "Percentage CPU",
ResourceId = "",
MetricNamespace = ResourceIdBuilder.BuildCloudServiceResourceId(<cloudservicename>, <deploymentname>)
RuleAction action = new RuleEmailAction
SendToServiceOwners = true,
newRule.Actions.Add(action);
OperationResponse alertResponse = alertsClient.Rules.CreateOrUpdate(new
RuleCreateOrUpdateParameters { Rule = newRule });
Console.WriteLine("Create alert rule response: " + alertResponse.StatusCode);

Hi Greg,
Thanks for your post!
Error "JArray" has been fixed in the latest nugget package.

Hope this helps!
