(Optional) Configure Metric Thresholds

Metric thresholds are the visual tools that let you monitor the 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 an activity reaches the specified value, the metric color changes.

Follow these steps:

  1. Click the applicable metric, and click Set Threshold.

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

  2. Specify the threshold value for the Caution State, 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.

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