Text Value
The algorithm for determining the health state of an aggregate monitor can be one of the following:
BestOf
WorstOf
Remarks
The BestOf algorithm indicates that the monitor will reflect the state of its “most healthy” child monitor. For example, if one child is at a warning state and the other is unhealthy, the reflected state will be a warning state. The WorstOf algorithm indicates that the monitor will reflect the state of its “least health” child monitor. For example, if one child is at a warning state and the other is healthy, the reflected state will be a warning state.
To see how the Algorithm element is expressed in a management pack, see AggregateMonitor.
