Configure subordinates


The services shown in the Subordinate tab are services on which the service you are editing depend. Here, you can change the way that all subordinates propagate their status to the service you are editing.

Configure subordinates:

  1. Open the Service Editor
  2. Select the service that you want to configure.
  3. Select Properties.
  4. Select Subordinates.
  5. Double-click the subordinate service that you want to edit to view the General and Rule tabs.

  6. In the General tab, you can select the rule that will applied to the status of the subservice when it is included in the calculation of the superordinate.

    The Rule tab is read-only and displays the Propagation Rule that the service you are editing uses when propagating its status to a particular superordinate.

  7. By right-clicking in the Weight column, you can change the weight each subordinate is given when calculating the severity of the service you are editing. By changing the weight you make the subservice more or less important than the other subservices that contribute to the service you are editing. See the severity calculation tutorial for an interactive example of how weight affects the status calculation.
Note NOTE:
To edit a rule or create a new rule, select Propagation Rules in the Service Configuration editor.
