Managing Scorecard Metrics

The Metric Manager enables you to manage Scorecard Metrics by creating, updating, and deleting Metrics. A Metric contains the saved results from an external operation such as a Monitor Test. Each Metric can have multiple Evaluations covering a wide variety of conditions including:

• MinValue. Fails when MetricValue < MinValue.
• MaxValue. Fails when MetricValue > MaxValue.
• AverageValue. Fails when the Average of the MetricValues for the last AverageMinutes is > AverageValue.
• TestChangeInValue. Fails when the last Metric value or the previous minutes minimum Metric value has changed by the specified percentage or absolute value.
• PercentChange. Fails when the percentage change from the last MetricValue > PercentChange. (Abs(MetricValue - LastMetricValue)/LastMetricValue)*100 > PercentValue.
• Expression. Fails when the VB Expression is false. The MetricValue is passed to the expression as value. Example: value <= 10 or value >= 50 (fails when value is between 10 and 50).
• Test Last N Times. The Test will fail if the Evaluation fails the specified number of times in a row.
• Test Occurrences. The Test will fail if the number of Metric failures over the specified time range is greater than the specified value.
