Hi,

i tried as your requested

the main root Testing-System settings

Warning 81
Critical 21

the attached files showing as below

on BPI photo we noticed when one layer became warning the main root Testing-System showing Warning status ,it is true

but in BPI2 photo we noticed when one layer became critical (red color) the main root Testing-System showing Warning Status ,it is false, it must showing Critical Status ,because we need when one layer became down "critical status",the main Testing-System Icon showing Critical status(red color)

so please send me the solution about that it is very important for our company

Thanks

The issue is that BPI only takes into account problem states, it doesn't weigh warnings any differently than criticals, they are both problem states. Until the developers implement that functionality it won't do what you're looking for.

For example:

Say you have 3 services for a BPI group in these states:

Code: Select all

1. OK
2. WARNING
3. CRITICAL
BPI will see it like this:

Code: Select all

1. OK
2. PROBLEM
3. PROBLEM
And will calculate it like this:

Code: Select all

100 / total_num_services_in_group = individual_item_percent
So for our current setup:

Code: Select all

100 / 3 = 33.3
33.3 is the weight that each item has (whether OK or in a problem state), BPI would calculate it like this:

Code: Select all

1. 0
2. 33.3
3. 33.3
The final calculation is:

Code: Select all

100 - TOTAL_PROBLEM_PECENTAGE = Group Overall Health

Code: Select all

100 - (33.3 + 33.3) = 33.3% Group Overall Health
So you can see that it doesn't matter whether it's a WARNING or a CRITICAL, only that it's in a problem state.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you
