Configuring Collection Thresholds

To configure collection thresholds using Fabric Manager Web Server, follow these steps:

  1. Choose Admin > Configure.
  2. Click Thresholds in the left navigation pane.
  3. If you are using absolute values, follow these steps. Otherwise skip to Step 3.
    1. To configure conditions for sending Critical notifications, check the Send Critical check box. In the "...when traffic exceeds" field, enter a number (from 5 to 95) to indicate the percentage at which the Critical notification is sent. For example, entering 10 causes a notification to be sent when traffic at any given time exceeds 10% of capacity.
    2. To configure conditions for sending Warning notifications, check the Send Warning check box. In the "...when traffic exceeds" field, enter a number (from 5 to 95) to indicate the percentage at which the Warning notification is sent. For example, entering 9 causes a notification to be sent when traffic at any given time exceeds 9% of capacity.
  4. Select the time period for the collection (1 Week, 1 Month, or 1 Year) from the Baseline Values over past drop-down list. The baseline value represents the sum of the absolute values.
    1. To configure conditions for sending Critical notifications, check the Send Critical check box. In the "...when traffic exceeds" field, enter a number to indicate the percentage at which the Critical notification is sent. For example, entering 300 causes a notification to be sent when traffic for the selected period exceeds 300% of capacity.
    2. To configure conditions for sending Warning notifications, check the Send Warning check box. In the "...when traffic exceeds" field, enter a number to indicate the percentage at which the Warning notification is sent. For example, entering 150 causes a notification to be sent when traffic for the selected period exceeds 150% of capacity.
  5. Click Apply.
