Modelling Alarm Number

Alarm modelling allows you to forecast the number and type of alarms that will be sent for a specific infrastructure object within a chosen time interval. To model the alarm number, Veeam ONE applies the current alarm settings to historical data collected for the chosen infrastructure object, and calculates the approximate number of alarms that will be sent within the specified time interval in future.

Alarm modelling can help you avoid receiving non-significant alarms, or vice versa missing important events. After you change alarm settings, you can perform alarm modelling to estimate how many alarms will be triggered for an infrastructure object if you keep the effective alarm settings. Taking into consideration the modeled number of alarms, you can consider changing alarm settings — for example, if the number is too high, you may need to adjust alarm rule conditions.

To forecast the number of alarms that will be sent for a specific infrastructure object:

1. Open Veeam ONE Monitor.
2. On the toolbar, click Modelling.
3. In the Alarm Modelling window, click Select and choose the necessary type of infrastructure objects — Infrastructure View, vCloud Director, Business View or Data Protection View.
4. In the Select Node window, choose an infrastructure object for which you want to model the number of alarms.
5. In the Use data for the past list, specify the period for which historical data must be analyzed (week, month or year).
6. In the list of alarms, select check boxes next to alarms for which you want to perform modelling.
7. Click Start Modelling.

Veeam ONE will display the number of alarms of different severity that, according to the forecast, will be sent within the selected period of time.

Other Ways to Perform Alarm Modelling

To perform alarm modelling for an infrastructure object:

1. Open Veeam ONE Monitor.
2. At the bottom of the inventory pane, click the necessary view — Infrastructure View, vCloud Director, Business View  or Data Protection View.
3. Do one of the following:

• In the inventory pane, select an infrastructure object and click Modelling on the toolbar.
• In the inventory pane, right-click an infrastructure object and select Alarms > Modelling from the shortcut menu.

4. Repeat steps 5-7 of the procedure above.

To perform alarm modelling for selected alarms:

1. Open Veeam ONE Monitor.
2. At the bottom of the inventory pane, click Alarm Management.
3. Select the one or more alarms in the list, right-click the selection and choose Modelling from the shortcut menu.
4. Repeat steps 3-7 of the procedure above.
