Alerting is configured directly from the settings. From here, you can define different types of alerts depending on your operational needs. Performance alerts monitor defined metrics and thresholds across your infrastructure. Anomaly, detection alerts, trigger when behavior deviates significantly from normal patterns. Ping alerts verify device availability and detect reachability issues. Hardware events alerts notify you when a monitored device changes from a healthy to an unhealthy state. Alerts can be delivered in multiple ways. Notifications can be sent to email groups, integrated natively with tools such as ServiceNow, or forwarded to external systems through APIs. This allows alerting to fit seamlessly into existing operational workflows. Let's create a custom performance alert. First, you select the devices the alert should apply to. Alerts can be created for any system monitored by XorMon individual devices, groups, or dynamically using filters or regular expressions. You can preview exactly which devices the rule will be applied to before saving it. Next, you choose the metric and define a threshold. For example, CPU utilization above 30%. You can define how long the threshold must be exceeded before triggering an alert. How often notifications repeat while the alert is active and specify quiet periods. For example, disabling alerts during planned nighttime jobs. Each alert can have its own severity level and notification target. You can also define multiple thresholds for the same metric, such as informational and critical levels, each with different behavior. Once created, alerts show their current state, whether they are idle, active, or triggered. Alerts can be enabled or disabled at any time, which is especially useful during maintenance windows. XorMon also supports anomaly detection alerts. In this example, we apply anomaly detection to a custom group of LPARs, monitoring CPU usage in shift basic mode. Instead of relying on fixed thresholds, the alert triggers when the metric deviates significantly from its normal behavior. Based on the defined sensitivity and interval. Severity and notification targets are configured the same way as with standard alerts. Ping alerts are designed to detect availability issues across selected systems. In this example, we create a new ping alert for the SAN device class and select the ping metric. We define the severity level as informational and assign the alert to a designated email group. If a SAN device stops responding, XorMon generates a notification. Hardware event alerts notify you immediately when a monitored device changes from a healthy state to any unhealthy condition. These alerts can be applied globally to all monitored devices or limited to specific device classes, such as SAN switches only. Hardware event alerts can be enabled, disabled, and even tested manually to verify notification behavior. Once alerts are running, XorMon provides full operational visibility. Alert history shows when alerts were triggered in the past. Active items highlight alerts that are still ongoing. And health status gives you an immediate, real-time overview of device and ping states across your infrastructure. With flexible alert types, precise targeting, and seamless integrations, XorMon alerting helps you detect issues early and respond faster across your entire infrastructure.

On IBM Power Systems, topology gives you immediate insight into network and Fibre Channel interfaces including NPIV virtualisation. The same clarity applies to Ethernet: virtual NICs, virtual switches, trunks, and the physical server ports they depend on. Every hop is visualised. For VMware environments, XorMon shows the relationship between vCenters, datastores, and the storage systems behind them. You can instantly see which VMs run in which vCenter, the datastores they use, and the exact storage volumes hosting those datastores. Selecting a volume opens its performance metrics, helping you understand how workloads interact with the underlying storage. You can also visualize physical servers and how their Fibre Channel adapters connect to the environment. For performance issues or path troubleshooting, simply highlight a port to reveal utilization information. One more powerful capability of XorMon Topology is the ability to export your diagrams. After selecting any technology: SAN, Power Systems, or VMware, you can build a Custom view or generate an All Connections layout, and export the resulting topology with a single click. Export options include PNG or SVG files. You can export the full topology, or only the portion currently visible on screen. This is extremely useful in large environments, where a complete vector-based export lets you document architectures, prepare presentations, or share precise topology snapshots with your team. Topology also supports a wide range of additional systems, giving you visibility across your entire datacenter.
