Propagation Thresholds Rule

The Propagation Thresholds Rule lets you control the propagation of certain states by placing thresholds on those states. You can express thresholds as absolute values (numbers), percentages (of child objects with a given severity), or elapsed time (time an object must be in a severity state before it is eligible for propagation).

For example, if a Business Process View often has one or two objects showing a down state, this condition could lead to the Business Process View permanently showing a propagated down state. This could effectively mask any key warning and critical states that would affect the management of devices in the Business Process View. You can use the Propagation Thresholds Rule to place a threshold on down state, which ensures that the Business Process object is only propagated when a significant number of devices are down.
