Configure Metric Thresholds

Metric thresholds are visual tools that let you monitor activity spikes for a metric. You can specify the direction of the spike (above or below the specified value) and the value of the threshold. When activity reaches the specified value, the metric color changes.

Note: You can perform this procedure at any time to edit your thresholds.

Follow these steps:

1. Log in to CA Chorus.
2. Click the plus sign control (+) on the Metrics panel.

   Note: If you are creating a metric group for the first time, you can also use the link Click here to add metrics.

3. Identify the metric and the data source to populate your Metrics panel by following the prompts.
4. Click the applicable metric, and click Set Threshold.

   A blue threshold bar appears at the bottom of the metric.

   Note: If a threshold has been set, you can also select Edit Threshold or Delete Threshold.

5. Specify the threshold value for Caution State or Danger State or both, and click Set Threshold.

   Caution State

   Identifies the level above or below the specified value in the adjacent field that is associated with the Caution state threshold.

   Default: Above

   Limits: Dependent on metric value range

   Danger State

   Identifies the level above or below the specified value in the adjacent field that is assigned to the Danger state threshold.

   Default: Above

   Limits: Dependent on metric value range

   The metric now responds to the specified threshold criteria. The threshold bar and the metric color changes to yellow when the caution criteria is met and the color changes to red when the danger criteria is met.

   Note: The value for Caution or Danger can be set to 0 but not when the state is set to below.
