Set the Threshold for an Alert Rule

Some Rules have specific trigger thresholds to set for an alert. You can enter values that indicate a warning or a critical alert. The threshold availability is dependent on the Rule. If a threshold is displayed, enter the values to indicate what constitutes a warning alert and what is a critical alert. Thresholds must also be explicitly activated.

To help determine threshold values, you can view a baseline chart based on collected historical data to see where the numbers currently fall. Use this information to create your own threshold values or apply the historical baseline directly to your policy.
