(Optional) Set Metrics Thresholds

Use this procedure to set the caution and danger thresholds according to your site policy.

Follow these steps:

1. Stop the scrolling feature, if necessary.
2. Click the down-arrow in the bottom right-corner of the % Allo metric in the main interface. Hover your cursor over the small % Allo metric to display the down-arrow.
3. Select Set Threshold from the drop-down list.
4. Click the down arrow in the Caution State: Data Spikes field and select Above. Enter 70 in the field next to Above.

   This creates a 70 percent allocation (% Alloc) caution threshold line in the metrics graph.

5. Click the down arrow in the Danger State: Data Spikes field and select Above. Enter 80 in the field next to Above.

   This creates an 80 percent allocation (% Alloc) danger threshold line in the metrics graph.

6. Click Set Threshold.

   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 zero, but not when the state is set to below.
