Table of contents Add, View or Edit the Activities of an Application You can add a new activity to the system by uploading its core definition (signature file), or just edit the properties of an existing activity by selecting a managed application. For example, you can create a new activity in the Aternity Activity Designer and upload it to Aternity, then later modify its properties to change when it generates incident alerts or SLA violations in the Monitor SLA dashboard. You can also change an activity's name to change the way it appears in the dashboards, or change the group of devices where this activity is deployed. For example, when you first upload a custom activity, you can restrict its deployment to the test group, then after testing, you can edit the activity's properties to change its deployment to cover all users. View the activities of a managed application Tip This page displays any disabled settings as grayed out. All default activities are locked, and therefore cannot be edited. Managed desktop applications have two default (locked) activities: Process Resources which monitors the application's PRC, and Launch which monitors the launch time. Managed web applications have one default locked activity called Other Pages which measures the load time of all pages in the web application. To... Do This... To add a new custom activity to Aternity To create a new activity, you must first design it in the Aternity Activity Designer, then export its signature file to upload it to Aternity. Select the Gear Icon > Managed Applications > Edit Activities > Add Activity. For details see Upload a Custom Activity to Aternity. Add a new activity to an application To add an application event Create the application event in the Aternity Activity Designer, then use the monitors tree to upload the application event to Aternity. To change or update the core definition (signature) of a custom activity You can change the activity's definition by uploading a new signature for this activity. In the Aternity Activity Designer, modify the activity's definition, then export it as a signature file. Then, for the activity you want to change, select the menu on the right > Upload Signature. Upload a new activity definition (signature) which you created in the Designer Tip Do not directly edit the XML code of a signature file unless you are an expert in signature development. To quickly find an activity Enter the name of the activity in the search box in the top right corner of the window. To change the properties of an activity (like its name, scope of deployment, incident settings, or SLA thresholds) For the activity you want to edit, select the menu on the right > Edit. For details on each setting, see the step below. Edit an activity's properties To temporarily stop (disable) or start monitoring an activity For the activity you want to edit, select the menu on the right > Start or Stop. Disable or remove an activity For example, if you want to compare the functionality of two custom activities you created in the Aternity Activity Designer, you can upload both and start and stop them sequentially to see which provides the more useful and accurate data. To remove an activity For the activity you want to delete, select the menu on the right > Delete. You would remove an activity when you are sure you would never use it again (otherwise you can temporarily disable it). For example, you may have discovered that the activity is returning inaccurate data, or has become obsolete do to an application update. To change several activities at once Select the check box of several activities, then select Bulk Actions to perform that action on all selected activities. For details, see the step below. Change several activities at once To add or edit activities measuring the load time of a web page (WPM) (For web applications only) Select Page Load Activities from the top right corner.

An incident for an activity indicates several devices in a group are responding slowly Alert Settings Displays the email addresses to send an alert message whenever the system automatically opens an incident on this activity. To enter more than one address, separate them with a semi-colon (;) only, no spaces. You can set the default email for incidents by selecting the Gear Icon > Settings > Advanced Settings > monitors > defaults > IncidentAlertSettings > toRecipients. SLA Threshold Displays the SLA thresholds of an activity: SLA internal and external thresholds The Internal threshold is the response time (in seconds) of an activity which would be your early warning, showing you are at risk of exceeding your official service level agreement (SLA) with your customers. Any response longer than this threshold is colored yellow in the SLA dashboard, as it warns you risk breaking the SLA commitment for this activity. The External threshold represents the maximum response time (in seconds) of an activity as defined in your official service level agreement (SLA) with your customers. Any response longer than this threshold is colored red in the SLA dashboard, since it breaks the official SLA commitment for this activity. Last Modified Displays the time stamp when someone last changed any of the settings of this activity.
