Network Traffic Analysis Custom Threshold
Managing Network Traffic Analysis Custom Thresholds:
From the Thresholds Library in the WhatsUp Gold Alert Center Libraries view, you can perform the following Network Traffic Analysis Custom Threshold operations.
Add. Create a new Network Traffic Analysis Custom Threshold.
From the WhatsUp Gold navigation menu:
Alert Center Libraries view displays.
The Network Traffic Analysis Custom Threshold displays.
The Select Network Traffic Analysis Custom Threshold Type dialog displays.
The Configure Threshold Alert dialog displays.
Edit. Adjust, tune, and configure an existing Network Traffic Analysis Custom Threshold.
To configure a Network Traffic Analysis custom threshold:
An example threshold involving multiple filters could state, "This threshold will alert when any host with Protocol matching TCP and Application matching pop3 sent or received more than 100 MB of data in the past 15 minutes."
The default threshold time value is data in the past 15 minutes.
Note: Sources sending sampled data are not displayed as a selection option in the Traffic to monitor list because Network Traffic Analysis cannot determine that traffic has failed on sampled data.
Tip: Notification policies are optional for most thresholds. Out of threshold items still appear on the Alert Center dashboard.
Note: Configure the threshold check interval for a longer time than the sampling interval for thresholds relating to trends, such as percent utilization. Configure it for a time the same as (or similar to) the sampling interval when configuring a threshold for a health check.
Avoid setting the threshold check interval to a very short time, as this can degrade system performance. In general, setting the threshold check interval to less than five minutes is not advised.
Copy. Clone a new Network Traffic Analysis Custom Threshold based on an existing Network Traffic Analysis Custom Threshold's configuration.
Clone a threshold based on a custom or built-in configuration:
The Edit Network Traffic Analysis Custom Threshold dialog displays.
Delete. Remove Network Traffic Analysis Custom Threshold from library.
Delete an existing Network Traffic Analysis Custom Threshold:
The Network Traffic Analysis Custom Threshold configuration is deleted.
