Monitoring Settings - Add / Edit Thresholds Page

Use this page to define critical and warning thresholds at the transaction, step group and step level. Alerts are generated based on the threshold values and the number of occurrences.

Test Metrics

Use this segment to define the thresholds at the transaction level. You can choose either of the following views:

View By Metric, Beacon: In this view, you can click Add Beacon Overrides to override the default threshold values for one or more beacons. In this case, the default thresholds will only be used for beacons without any overrides. Any new beacons added to the Web transaction will use the default thresholds. Click Add Metric to define thresholds for one or more metrics.

View By Beacon, Metric: In this view, you can click on the Default icon to toggle between Edit and View modes for a specific metric. In the Edit mode, you can modify the parameters of the metric. You can also modify the parameters of the metric for a specific beacon. In the View mode, the default parameters of the metric will be used.

Step and Step Group Metrics

Use this segment to define the thresholds at the step group and step level. You can choose either of the following views:

View By Step, Metric, Beacon: In this view, you can click Add Beacon Overrides to override the default threshold values for one or more beacons. In this case, the default thresholds will only be used for beacons without any overrides. Any new beacons added to the Web transaction will use the default thresholds. Click Add Metric to define thresholds for one or more metrics. Alerts are generated only if the value of the Transaction Granularity property is set to 'Transaction'.

View By Step, Beacon, Metric: In this view, you can click on the Default icon to toggle between Edit and View modes for a specific metric. In the Edit mode, you can modify the parameters of the metric for a specific beacon. In the View mode, the default parameters of the metric will be used. Alerts are generated only if the value of the Data Granularity property is set to ' Step'.

Usage Tips

To specify a threshold for a single beacon, click Add Beacon Override, and specify values for that beacon. If you do not specify values for All Other Beacons, thresholds will only be set on the beacons which have an override.
To remove a threshold for a single beacon, click Add Beacon Override and remove the values for the selected beacon.
If the Comparison Operator for Perceived Total Time is >=, the Critical Threshold should be greater than the Warning Threshold.
If the Comparison Operator for Perceived Total Time is <=, the Critical Threshold should be lesser than the Warning Threshold.
