Probability Thresholds

The probability threshold is a sensitivity setting that increases or decreases the likelihood that the sensor will send out alerts when it detects a monitored behavior. For more information about probability thresholds, see Probability Thresholds.

The default threshold for all sensors is 90% probability. As you raise the probability threshold, fewer alerts are likely to be sent and it is more likely that real issues triggered the alerts.

If you monitor a device that has a known issue, you may want to raise the probability threshold to prevent false alerts. A lower probability setting may be better for a critical item that is fairly stable, so that you are notified about issues early.
