Disable State	Clear the Enabled check box. When you activate the session, the service stops processing messages. Disabling a service no longer causes the system to delete all monitoring statistics previously collected for the service.
Enable State	Select the Enabled check box. When you activate the session, the service resumes processing messages.
Enable business service endpoint URIs to be taken offline Set a retry interval for offline URIs	Select the Enable with Retry Interval check box. When you select this option, the business service removes non-responsive endpoint URIs (takes them offline), at run time, so that only the responsive URIs are used for retry attempts and for processing subsequent requests. If you want to keep non-responsive URIs offline until you take corrective action and then re-enable the URIs, do not provide a retry interval. For example, a zero retry interval indicates that the endpoint remains offline indefinitely. To bring it back online, use the Mark Endpoint Online action on the Endpoint URIs page. See Viewing Business Services Endpoint URIs Metrics. If you want to configure the business service to take non-responsive URIs offline and then re-attempt accessing the same URI endpoint for subsequent message processing after a specified time interval, you do so by specifying a retry interval value. Use the hours, minutes, and seconds fields to specify how long to keep the non-responsive URIs out of the active URIs processing loop. The URI is kept offline for the specified time interval and then retried. If the endpoint responds, the URI becomes online again, or else it remains offline and the process repeats itself. You can specify a retry interval only if you have selected the Enable with Retry Interval option.
Disable Monitoring	Clear the Enabled check box. When you activate the session, the system stops collecting monitoring statistics for the service, and deletes any statistics collected previously.
Enable Monitoring	Select the Enabled check box. When you activate the session, the system starts collecting monitoring statistics for the service.

If your selection for hours exceeds 1, then the default selection for minutes is always zero. However, if your selection for hours is 0 or 1, then you can configure intervals in terms of minutes. See Setting the Aggregation Interval for a Service. You can change and save the Aggregation Interval setting whether or not you have enabled monitoring. To enable monitoring at run time, make sure the Enable Monitoring check box is selected.
Disable SLA Alerting	Clear the Enabled check box. The system stops evaluating any alert rules configured for the service; therefore, you no longer receive SLA alerts associated with the service.
Enable SLA Alerting	Select the Enabled check box. From the Enable Alerting at drop-down list, select to restrict SLA alerts to the specified level or above (listed from the most inclusive to the most restrictive level): Normal (default), Warning, Minor, Major, Critical, and Fatal. Service SLA alerting depends on both the global and service-level monitoring states—both must be enabled for SLA alerting to be enabled at run time. See Enabling SLA Alerts Globally.
Restrict the flow of messages sent to the set of endpoints configured in the business service	Select the Enabled check box next to Throttling State. When enabled, messages are processed by priority. You can optionally assign messages a priority using routing options; otherwise, messages are de-queued on a first-in, first-out basis. For more information, see Throttling in AquaLogic Service Bus in the AquaLogic Service Bus Operations Guide.
Restrict the number of messages being dispatched to a set of endpoints configured in the business service	If Throttling State is enabled, this field is required. Specify a Maximum Concurrency value; it must be a positive integer value, it cannot be zero. If exceeded, incoming messages are put into a wait (throttling) queue, if one exists. If not, the messages are discarded. If the queue is full, messages in the queue with a lower priority are removed and a run-time error is raised. If an error handler is configured, it will be triggered. The new incoming messages will be enqueued.
Specify whether messages sent to business services that have exceeded their message concurrency limit should be held in a wait queue Set the maximum number of messages that are held in the wait queue	If Throttling State is enabled, this field is required. Specify a Throttling Queue value; it must be a positive integer value or keep the default value, zero, meaning there is no throttling queue. When the throttling queue value is zero (no throttling queue) and the number of messages exceed the Maximum Concurrency value, the messages are discarded and an error is raised. If an error handler is configured, it will be triggered. If you disable throttling at run time, all the messages in the throttling queue will be processed. When you delete or rename a business service, all the messages in the throttling queue are discarded.
Specify the maximum length of time that messages will be held in a wait queue	If Throttling State is enabled, this field is optional. Specify a Message Expiration value in milliseconds; it must be a positive integer value. A value of zero means the message will never be expired. This value is set at the queue level; all messages put in the queue have the same Message Expiration value. When exceeded, messages are removed from the queue without being processed.

Select Resource Browser > Proxy Services or Business Services.
Click the service name.
Select the SLA Alert Rules tab and click Add New.
In the Rule Name field, enter a name for the alert rule. This is a required field.
In the Alert Summary field, enter a short description of the alert rule. This text is also used as the subject line for an e-mail message if this alert rule is configured with an e-mail alert notification, and can contain no more than 80 characters. If you do not provide an alert summary, the default text, AquaLogic Service Bus Alert, will be used instead.
In the Rule Description field, enter a description for the alert rule.
In the Alert Destination field, enter the name of the alert destination resource or click Browse to display the Select Alert Destination page. Select an alert destination from the list and click Submit.

By default, the alert will always go to the console. To configure and select other alert destination resources, see Adding Alert Destinations and Locating Alert Destinations.

In the Start Time field, enter a start time in the format HH:MM. For example, enter 09:00 AM. You use the Start Time and End Time fields to specify a window of time during which the rule is active on each day prior to the expiration date. For example, between 9am and 5pm every day.
In the End Time field, enter an end time in the format HH:MM. For example, enter 05:00 PM. You use the Start Time and End Time fields to specify a window of time during which the rule is active on each day prior to the expiration date. For example, between 9am and 5pm every day.

The alert rule is active daily during the start time you specified until the end time you specified, until the rule expires.

In the Rule Expiration Date field, enter an expiration date in the format MM/DD/YYYY. For example, enter 12/31/2010. The rule expires at 11:59 pm on the specified date. If you do not specify a date, the rule never expires.
In the Rule Enabled field, keep Yes as the default to ensure that this rule is enabled, or select No to disable this rule.
In the Alert Severity field, select one of the following:

Normal
Warning
Minor
Major
Critical
Fatal

In the Alert Frequency field, select one of the following settings, shown in Table 23-19.

Table 23-19 Alert Frequency Setting
Property	Description
Every Time	If you select this option, the actions included in the alert rule are executed every time the alert rule evaluates to `true`. For example, if you set the condition that the average response time is greater than 300 milliseconds, you receive an alert every time this condition evaluates to `true`. The number of times an alert rule is evaluated depends on the aggregation interval and the sample interval associated with that rule. If the aggregation interval is set to 5 minutes, the sample interval is 1 minute. Rules are evaluated each time 5 samples of data are available. Therefore, the rule is evaluated for the first time approximately 5 minutes after it is created and every minute thereafter.
Notify Once	If you select this option, the actions included in the rule are executed the first time the rule evaluates to `true`, and no more alerts are generated until the condition resets itself and evaluates to `true` again. For example, if you set the condition that the average response time is less than 300 milliseconds, you receive an alert the first time this condition evaluates to `true`, but you do not receive any more alerts until the condition evaluates to `false` and then to `true` again. The alert timestamp gets updated and is displayed on the Dashboard.

Select Yes for the Stop Processing More Rules option if you want to abort executing further rules after one of the rules associated with a service evaluates to true. Use this option to stop evaluating subsequent rules when there are multiple rules associated with a particular service. Keep No as the default to continue processing rules.

This option behaves like the Stop Processing More Rules option in the Rules Wizard in Microsoft Outlook.

Click Next to display the New Alert Rule - Conditions Configuration page. Continue in Defining Alert Rule Conditions.

Defining Alert Rule Conditions

Use this page to define conditions for the alert rule. You must specify at least one condition. If you specify multiple conditions, you must use the And/Or operators to combine them.

In the Select Aggregation Interval for the Condition field, select the number of hours and minutes to set the aggregation interval for this condition. The aggregation interval determines the frequency at which the condition is tested. The condition is tested each time the monitoring subsystem aggregates enough samples of data to constitute 1 aggregation interval.

For example, if you select an aggregation interval of 1 hour, the condition is tested each time an hour's worth of data is available. The first time the condition is tested is at the end of the first hour. After that, the condition is tested every 10 minutes because the sampling interval for an aggregation interval of 1 hour is set to 10 minutes.

You start by defining a simple expression. Two or more simple expressions can be combined to form a complex expression. To define a complex simple expression, do the following:

In the first drop-down field, select Count, Minimum, Maximum, Average, or Status.
In the next drop-down field, select an operand.

Depending on whether you select Count, Minimum, Maximum, Average, or Status in the first drop-down field, the list of the operands varies. For example, if you select Minimum, Maximum, or Average, the Response Time operand is available. Use this operand to set the response time in milliseconds (msec). The operands available also depends on the configuration of the service itself. The number of operands varies according to whether a service has pipelines, route nodes, operations, and so on.

For information on how to generate alerts based on endpoint URI status, see Managing Endpoint URI for Business Services in AquaLogic Service Bus Operations Guide.

When you select Count, this field displays the operands shown in Table 23-20.

Table 23-20 Count Operand Details
Property	Description
Error Count	The error count gets incremented when message processing returns a failure.
Failure Ratio (%)	The ratio of errors encountered to the total number of messages successfully processed over the specified aggregation interval.
Message Count	The total number of messages processed.
Success Ratio (%)	The ratio of messages successfully processed to the total number of messages encountered over the specified aggregation interval.
Failover count	For business services only: The failover count.
<Request Pipeline>. Error Count	For proxy services only: The number of erroneous messages processed by the request pipeline.
<Request Pipeline>. Message Count	For proxy services only: The number of messages processed by the request pipeline.
Validation Error Count	For proxy services only that have a validate action in the pipeline: The number of validation errors.
WSS Error Count	Available depending on the transport for the service (such as with HTTP): The number of Web Service Security (WSS) erroneous messages processed. This counter is only available for WSDL-based services and is updated when a WSS error is encountered.

In the next field, select the desired comparison operator: =, !=, > or <.
In the next field, enter the value to compare against.
Click Add.

To define a complex expression:

Repeat steps a - e in step 2 to define a simple expression.
Repeat steps a - e again to define another simple expression.
Select the check box for each of the two expressions.
Click And or Or to combine the expressions into a complex expression.

The Split option is available after you combine multiple expressions. This option is used to split complex expressions back into separate simple expressions.
