Set Threshold Level - HPE XP7 User Manual

NOTE:
• If you configure alarms at the host group level, and then edit a host in any port, the alarm
notification is sent only for the common host group that is configured. The notifications are not
sent for the edited host group. To receive notifications for the edited host group, re-configure
the alarms.
• If you change the name of a host group that has alarms configured, delete and re-configure
all alarms for that host group.
Prerequisites
For activating alarms on components, you must first select the components and the corresponding
metrics for which the performance must be monitored. Then, proceed to configure alarms on those
components. It includes specifying the following settings:
• Threshold and number of occurrences on the components.
• Alarm notification settings that include the email notifications and SNMP notifications. In addition to
notifications, you can also configure PA to run an XML file or a script when the component's
performance value crosses the set threshold.
• Enable or disable alarms on the components.

Set threshold level

Threshold level is a value that you set and further used by PA to compare the current performance value
of a selected component with the set threshold value. PA triggers an alarm and sends appropriate
notifications to the recipients when the current performance value of a component goes beyond the
threshold level that you configured.
NOTE: You can also use the Ctrl + c and Ctrl + v combination to copy and paste the threshold level
from one record to another record. Ensure that the records are selected, so that the latest changes
are updated.
To set the threshold level:
1. Click the HPE XP7 Performance Advisor main menu, and click Alerts.
2. In the Configure Alarms pane, select the component records for which you want to specify the
threshold level.
You can also filter component records in the Alarms table.
3. Enter the threshold level under the Threshold column for each component record. By default, 999999
is set as the threshold level for new component records.
The threshold level that you provide for each record is automatically stored in the list under the
Threshold column. The next time you want to edit a threshold level, you can provide a new value or
choose an existing value from the list.
NOTE: The threshold values are grouped based on the same type of Metric Category.
PA does the following:
