Creating numeric and state thresholds

All numeric and state thresholds use the same basic procedure and displays to create threshold settings.

Note

The same displays are used to create thresholds when you select the Create Thresholds option in any of the following:

• The Alarm Configuration menu.
• The right-click menu in the navigation tree in the Navigation view of the Alarm Configuration perspective.
• The right-click menu in the Device Groups, Device View, or Map View of the Monitoring perspective.

Threshold settings for all monitored devices are available when you use the Alarm Configuration menu options. Threshold settings for only the device group or device selected are available when you use the right-click menu in the Navigation view, Device Groups, Device View, or Map View.

1. Select the sensor type on which you want to add a threshold from the Create Thresholds option in the Alarm Configuration menu. Alternatively, select a device group or device in the Alarm Configuration or Monitoring perspective views, and right-click to select the Create Thresholds option.
2. In the "Select Threshold Type" display, select the threshold type you want to add, and click Next.
3. In the "Select Sensors" display, select the sensor or sensors for which you want to add thresholds, and click Next.
4. In the "Create Threshold" display, define the settings, and, if desired, configure when the server will generate notifications if the threshold becomes active using the Threshold Scheduling button, and click Next.
5. In the "Select Notification Policies" display, select the notification policies to which you want to add the alarm threshold, and click Finish to exit the wizard.
