==Creating a LiveTile==
A LiveTile is a way to display executive level data regarding, but not limited to, power, space, and cooling. We see LiveTiles as a dashboard approach to visually display your data. You will choose the appropriate data series to show specific metrics within your LiveTile. These data series include:
*Time to live – The remaining time before a certain resource has been used up, if it continues to grow at a steady rate
*Scale max – The maximum amount of the resource that you wish to display (maximum ports, maximum space, maximum power, etc.)
*Scale min – The minimum amount of the resource that you wish to display (minimum power, minimum space, etc.)
*Scale built – Typically for space tracking within the server cabinet. The amount of RUs built out for usage. In more generic terms, the amount of a resource that has been built out to be consumed
*Scale current – The amount of the resource that your data center is currently consuming or any other factor is currently consuming
*Format override for max – A number format template to change the suffix of a number in a data series to input into a LiveTile
**Example: 10 Amps to 1 kW, 23 to 23 RUs, etc.
*Format override for min – A number format template to change the suffix of a number in a data series to input into a LiveTile
**Example: 1 kW to 10 Amps, 30 to 30 RUs, etc.

Creating and Use Notifications

2019-03-08T20:55:30Z

Zkatzadmin:

__TOC__

==Creating a Notification==
A notification is created to alert the specified parties that an issues exists within the data center. Each notification can be customized to your specifications. Alerts are sent to recipients when the defined threshold is exceeded. All notifications can be sent via email or SMS text to alert the correct persons. Notifications can be the difference between successfully responding to an issue before it becomes an outage or a catastrophe in your data center. You will need to gather the following information before creating a notification:
*In order to create a notification, you must first create a data series for the notification to reference (see [[Data Series#Creating a Data Series|Creating a Data Series]] for instructions)
*The name of the notification you wish to create
*The type of trigger for the new notification, either; threshold, elicit not responding, or data series timing warning
*The criteria for the notification to look for when referencing the data series
*The threshold value, which way to operate the threshold, how many times you would like the threshold to be met to start the notification, and how many times it needs to be satisfied to clear it
*Who you would like to receive the notification (see [[#Creating a Notification Recipient|Creating a Notification Recipient]] for instructions)
