I have been asked to explain to a customer of ours what the different shades of Red Sensor Icons indicate in the reports. I have set my system to show red icons when the Uptime is below 99% but the reports are showing a varying shade of red. I was wondering if there is a comparrison chart that shows what the varying shades of red indicate.

Thanks

Hello,

Thank you very much for your KB-Post. If X is the uptime in percent and UT is the uptime, thresholds from the setting in the options via the Setup | System Administration | Monitoring page, the gradations are as following:


X >= UT : best=green
X >= 100 - ((100-UT)*20) : yellow
X >= 100 - ((100-UT)*50) : orange
X >= 100 - ((100-UT)*100) : bright red
Everything else, so X < 100 - ((100-UT)*100) : worst = red

In addition, there are also limits of the ranges, i.e. if the respective threshold becomes too small when multiplying UT by 20/50/100, it is set to a fixed lower limit.


I hope this helps. Best regards.

Is there a way to change the color from RED to YELLOW? Or maybe something like this.

99.9 or above displays as GREEN 98 - 99.8 diaplays as YELLOW <98 displays as RED

Thanks!

Dear MannyL

I am sorry, the colors are hard-coded and cannot be changed.
