Creating a monitor

ImportantAnomaly detection cannot be used in conjunction with other conditions. To use the anomaly condition, delete the other conditions or create a new monitor.

Before you can create a monitor, you need to create a source to monitor. See Adding HCP sources or Adding HCP S sources.

If you have multiple conditions, you can create a monitor to handle them collectively. When all of the set conditions are met (for example, AND conditions), the monitor is then triggered.

You can create a monitor using the Monitor App, REST API, or CLI.

For REST API, use command POST /monitors. For CLI, use command createMonitoredQuery.

To create a new monitor using the Monitor App:

Procedure

  1. Open the Monitor App.

  2. Click Monitors.

  3. Click + on the Monitors tab.

    NoteThe Monitor + button only functions when you need to create a monitor from the Manage page or a sender from the Sender page.
  4. Select NEW MONITOR.

  5. Configure the settings for your monitor:

    SettingDescription
    NameA name for the monitor.
