1. A computer-implemented method for monitoring a metric of a system, the method comprising:
- receiving, in a monitoring tool and from an agent of the monitoring tool, an operation metric that corresponds to a present characteristic of a monitored system among multiple systems, the monitoring tool receiving the operation metric as one of multiple metric inputs that the monitoring tool is configured to receive from agents;
receiving, in the monitoring tool and from a downtime planning component for the multiple systems, a planned downtime metric that reflects whether the monitored system is currently in a planned downtime, the planned downtime metric received as another one of the multiple metric inputs;
combining the operation metric and the planned downtime metric into a processed operation metric for the monitored system; and
evaluating the processed operation metric with regard to at least one alert rule in the monitoring tool, the alert rule configured to generate an alert to a user of the monitoring tool based on a specific condition relating to the present characteristic.

Abstract
A metric of a system is monitored using a monitoring tool that receives an operation metric and a planned downtime metric that reflects whether the monitored system is currently in a planned downtime, the planned downtime metric received as another one of the multiple metric inputs. The operation metric and the planned downtime metric are combined into a processed operation metric for the monitored system.

15. A computer program product tangibly embodied in a computer-readable storage medium and comprising instructions that when executed by a processor perform a method for monitoring a metric of a system, the method comprising:
-
receiving, in a monitoring tool and from an agent of the monitoring tool, an operation metric that corresponds to a present characteristic of a monitored system among multiple systems, the monitoring tool receiving the operation metric as one of multiple metric inputs that the monitoring tool is configured to receive from agents; receiving, in the monitoring tool and from a downtime planning component for the multiple systems, a planned downtime metric that reflects whether the monitored system is currently in a planned downtime, the planned downtime metric received as another one of the multiple metric inputs; combining the operation metric and the planned downtime metric into a processed operation metric for the monitored system; and evaluating the processed operation metric with regard to at least one alert rule in the monitoring tool, the alert rule configured to generate an alert to a user of the monitoring tool based upon a specific condition relating to the present characteristic.

16. A system comprising:
-
a metric processing component implemented using a computer readable medium, the metric processing component combining (i) an operation metric that corresponds to a present characteristic of a monitored system, and (ii) a planned downtime metric that reflects whether the monitored system is currently in a planned downtime, into a processed operation metric; a rule processing component implemented using a computer readable medium, the rule processing component configured to evaluate the processed operation metric with regard to at least one alert rule, the alert rule generating an alert based on a specific condition relating to the present characteristic; and an output device configured to present the alert to a user when generated by the rule processing component. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
