Automation Using Situations

Situations alert when thresholds are exceeded

– Each condition compares a user-specified value against attribute data collected from managed systems

Each situation may examine the values of one or more attributes

If all conditions are met, the situation evaluates to true and an alert indicator icon appears on the TEP to let you know that a problem exists  

When you create a situation, you can also specify recommended actions (Expert Advice) and/or automated responses to take place when the situation becomes true (Take Action)

Each management agent comes with a set of pre-defined situations that start running as soon as the management agent is connected

OMEGAMON monitoring system performance

A single workload ‘Hog’ is identified via Situation

Take Action integration to Operations Manager

Operations Manager issues ‘Set Share’ CP command

System is preserved, processing continues while application owner determine IF the app has a bug
