Metric Threshold

The Metric Threshold screen is used with the System Dashboard screen to determine the display of metric values and warning messages. Depending on the metric definition, either three or four levels of usage may be used. For metric definitions used in tracking diagnostic messages a fourth level is used. For each level, enter the highest value to be included in the level.

Depending on the user authorization level, the following actions may be available. Click on the link below for more information on each action. Click on the link a second time to close the information box.

To Open and View existing records, complete the following steps:

Using the Search page selection criteria, search for all the records to be viewed.
To select one or more record, click the box to the left of each record to alternately add or remove the check mark. To select/de-select all records in a specific search result set, click on the box above the search results to add or remove all check marks.
To open the record you wish to view first, click its folder. All other selected records are also available.
To view all other selected records, scroll to the previous record or to the next record using the navigation arrows.
For records displayed in a list format, click the card arrow on a record to open and view it.
Note: For more information, see Opening and Viewing a Record in the Help section>Record Management screen.

The Search page is the default page when a screen is opened. This screen is used to filter criteria when searching for a specific record.

After entering values in the selected fields, click on the Search button. The results are listed below the search screen.
Additional searches with different filter options can be run to add to the selected record results set.
To select one or more record, click the box to the left of the record to alternately add or remove the check mark. To select/de-select all records in a specific search result set, click on the box above the search results to add or remove all check marks.
To open the record you wish to view first, click its folder. All other selected records can be viewed by scrolling, using the right and left arrows in the Navigator section of the left pane.
Note: For more information on searching for an existing record, see Searching for a Record in the Help section. For more information on the Action buttons available in the left pane after the search is completed, see Search Action Buttons. For more information on setting the check boxes default to be checked or unchecked, see the Preferences section>My Preferences card>List screen.

The label describing the grouping of metric threshold functions (e.g. Posting, Calculations, Replication, etc.).

The number indicating the 1, 2, 3 or 4th tier of the values. The levels determine when warnings appear on the System Dashboard.

Enter the highest numeric value that should be included in this threshold level.

Level 1	Monitoring components with usage at or below the Level 1 threshold value.
Level 2	Monitoring components with usage greater than the Level 1 threshold value but less than or equal to Level 2.
Level 3	Monitoring components with usage greater than the Level 2 threshold value. If a fourth level is used, monitoring components with usage greater than Level 2 but less than or equal to Level 3. When only three levels are used the Level 3 threshold serves as an approximate maximum. The value of the highest threshold level is used as an approximate maximum for internal calculations. The monitoring component will display the actual usage value, while the approximate maximum is used to arrange other parts of the component. This value is required because a finite maximum value is needed for the calculations.
Level 4	When a fourth level is used, monitoring components with usage greater than the Level 3 threshold value. When used, the Level 4 threshold serves as an approximate maximum. The value of the highest threshold level is used as an approximate maximum for internal calculations. The monitoring component will display the actual usage value, while the approximate maximum is used to arrange other parts of the component. This value is required because a finite maximum value is needed for the calculations.
