9 Customizing monitoring parameters
The best practice is to customize Replication Manager before starting operations. You can customize
Replication Manager by configuring alert notification settings, refresh intervals, and data retention
periods. You can set up alerts to monitor thresholds for copy pair status, performance metrics and
copy license usage. You can also configure refresh intervals at which the latest storage system
information is applied to the Replication Manager database and retention periods for data items such
as received alerts, write delay time, and event logs.
Setting up alerts
You can set alert conditions for preventing buffer overflow errors and thereby ensure continuity of
normal operation. Alert conditions can also be specified for copy pair status, copy license usage and
performance thresholds for each copy group, journal group, sidefile, C/T Delta (Write Delay Time)
or pool. Alerts can be set up using the Create Alert Setting Wizard.
For details on how to add alert settings, see the following:

About alert settings
You can specify the following conditions for alerts:
• Copy pair status , page 126
• Performance threshold , page 126
• Copy license usage threshold , page 126
When an alert is issued, it is marked as Not Completed until the object leaves the monitored state
subject to the alert. (If the status is unchanged when the next monitoring interval occurs, the alert is
not re-sent.) Alerts are automatically marked as Completed according to the criteria described in “
Alert
completion ” on page 127.
