The Add or Edit buttons open a threshold editor (blank or with existing, configured thresholds,
respectively).
Configure threshold intervals you Add at in the editor screen according to the following
parameters.
Attribute Name—Appears when you click Add rather than Editing a selected threshold. Use the
pick list that appears in this screen to select the attribute for which you are specifying
threshold information. When you Edit, the name of the attribute appears as a title within the
editor screen.
Calculation Type— Select from the pick list. Specifies whether the range calculation is to be done
based on Average or Consecutive values.
Consecutive Value Count—Select how many consecutive values to consider at once for a range
calculation. Typically the larger the number here, the less "flutter" in reporting threshold
crossings.
Emit Notification—Check to emit an event if the device crosses the configured threshold(s). The
notification event contains the threshold-crossing value, as well as which threshold was
crossed, and is an alarm at the severity selected when you configure the threshold.
Tip
You can make a set of thresholds for each monitored attribute, so a single monitor can throw different
alarms for different attributes. To see available events and their descriptions, view the contents of the
RedcellMonitor-MIB in \owareapps\performance\mibs.
