Tuning Threshold Values for Your Installation

After a period of usage, you can develop an awareness of what levels to set for OS health attribute values. You can adjust thresholds once you determine more closely what value indicates a genuine justification for an event to be generated and for an event notification to be sent to your pager or email address. For example, you might want to receive event notifications every time a certain attribute reaches a warninghigh severity threshold level. For more information, see Setting Up Event Notifications.

For important or crucial attributes at your installation, you can set the warninghigh threshold level to a low percentage value so that you are notified about a rising value as early as possible.
