EventcorrelationModule: New Scoring Operator
The Score Operator allows you to evaluate the overall health of multiple services by assigning scores to their states and comparing the total score against a defined threshold. This means, the Score Operator will not simply pass-through the worst state of all services (Ok, Warning, Critical, Unknown), but it will calculate a score based on the states of all services and their assigned scores. This allows for more granular and flexible monitoring, as you can define different weights for different services and set thresholds that better reflect the overall health of your system.
For example, let’s assume you want to monitor three internet connections, with different bandwidths. Each connection has a different importance for your business, so you assign different scores to their states:
| Service | Warning Score | Critical Score |
|---|---|---|
Internet Connection 1 (10 Gbit/s) |
6 | 12 |
Internet Connection 2 (5 Gbit/s) |
3 | 6 |
Internet Connection 3 (5 Gbit/s) |
3 | 6 |
The 10 Gbit/s connections is the most imporant one, but it can be compensated by the two 5 Gbit/s connections.
If the 10 Gbit/s connection goes down, the impact is critical to your business, you it has the highest score. If the 5 Gbit/s or 5 Gbit/s connection goes down
you services will remain available, but you lose on redundancy.
The score operator comes in four different flavors, please see the documentation for more details: Event Correlation Module - SCORE.
