Threshold Types

The management console automatically calculates thresholds from recent past performance by using percentiles and a sensitivity setting to classify each metric within a data sample.

Change thresholds by adjusting the sensitivity setting or by setting a percentage or milliseconds value.

Threshold type

Description

None

(Off) Forces the management console to rate all data as Unrated. The management console does not create incidents for a metric with a threshold value of None.

Sensitivity

(Dynamic) Set a threshold of this type by using a percentage value. The management console factors this percentage value into the formula it uses to automatically calculate the threshold. A sensitivity setting of 200 causes traffic measuring over the 75th percentile to be rated Minor (yellow) or Major (orange). A lower sensitivity setting yields a higher threshold and thus results in fewer incidents.

Milliseconds

(Static) Set a threshold of this type to a specific a static value such as 100.
