Set Monitor Threshold Window

Use the Set Monitor Threshold window to set the conditions under which NMC threshold events are sent. The current value of a monitor is compared against threshold values using the relative operator. This comparison is done periodically as specified by the Polling Interval Task. If a condition matches, a threshold event with the specified severity is issued.

  1. In the Value field, enter one or more threshold values. When these thresholds are reached, events are sent.
  2. In the Operator field, select whether the operator crosses above or below the threshold limit.
  3. In the Severity field, select what severity the event should be assigned when the threshold is reached.

    Severity values are defined as follows:

    1
    Harmless
    2
    Warning
    3
    Minor
    4
    Critical
    5
    Fatal
  4. Press Enter to display the command in the Command string field.
  5. Click one of the following buttons:
    Send
    To send the command and leave the window open.
    Send and close
    To send the command and close the window.

For example, if you want a threshold event with severity of harmless created when the monitor value exceeds 15, you would do the following:

  1. Enter a threshold value of 15.
  2. Select crosses above in the Relative Operator field.
  3. Select a severity of harmless.
