Managing Performance Thresholds › Enable Default Performance Thresholds for a Group of Networks

Enable Default Performance Thresholds for a Group of Networks

Add default performance thresholds to a group of networks to set tighter or looser performance thresholds for newly-discovered applications on that group of networks. The thresholds automatically apply to a new system- or user-defined application.

After you enable default thresholds, they apply to new applications only. Existing applications retain their performance thresholds. Use the Application List, under Data Monitoring, Applications in the Show Me menu, to bulk-edit performance thresholds for existing applications.

Prerequisite: Assign network types to define a group of networks. Network types allow you to add default performance thresholds to a group of networks.

If the application already exists, add performance thresholds to the application for a group of networks.

Follow these steps:

1. Click the Administration page.
2. Click Policies, Performance Thresholds in the Show Me menu.
3. Scroll to the Threshold Sets for New Applications list.
4. Click Add Custom by Network Type.

   Customize Thresholds by Network Type opens.

5. Select the network type you want and click OK.

   Edit Application Thresholds opens.

6. Customize the performance thresholds for the application by network type.

   For information about setting performance thresholds, click Help.

7. Click Apply.

   The performance thresholds you specify apply to all newly-discovered applications on a client network that is assigned the network type.

8. Click OK.
