Configuring a Threshold Alert (BUI)
Use this procedure to be automatically notified when a specific dataset exceeds or falls below a set threshold level.
If the automatic suspend policy is enabled, the dataset and the corresponding statistics will be automatically suspended when the maximum idle time you set for the threshold is exceeded. To improve the system performance, you can enable this policy and set a shorter time period for the configurable threshold. Note that the automatic suspend policy does not apply to dashboard datasets and datasets used to collect trendable statistics.
