Problem

• Creating an alert on one cell based on the value of another cell

Possible Solution(s)

• You need to create a rule that uses Path Alias:
  
  • 1. Identify the cell that you want the alert to be on in this example we will use percentUserTime(highlighted in yellow) to alert based on percentUtilisation (highlighted in red):
    

• • 2. Create a rule with a target as the path value of the cell for percentUserTime:
    
    
  • 3. In the "Advanced tab-> Path aliases" in the text field drag the cell you want the value to be based on and give it a name: in this case we are using path for percentUtilisation: /geneos/gateway[(@name="TestGateway")]/directory/probe[(@name="sysmon_probe")]/managedEntity[(@name="cpu_entity")]/sampler[(@name="cpu_sampler")][(@type="")]/dataview[(@name="cpu_sampler")]/rows/row[(@name="cpu_0")]/cell[(@column="percentUtilisation")]
    
    
  • 4. Going back to the Basic tab create a rule using the name above and referencing it using "percentutil" and setting a variable  $(percentutil):
    
    
  • 5. Save your rule and see if an alert is being triggered based on the percentUtilisation:

• • 6.Right click on the cell and select "Show Rules" and an Output of the rule you just created will show:
