Metric Threshold Configuration Sets

The Diameter Common, and then Dashboard, and then Configuration, and then Metric Threshold Configuration Sets page allows Dashboard Metric Threshold Configuration Sets to be configured.

A Metric Threshold Configuration Set (MTCfgSet) contains all the information defining up to three thresholds for every configured metric. MTCfgSets have two types - Server Thresholds and Summary Thresholds.

The Server Metric Threshold Configuration Set contains thresholds applied only at Server scope. Server Type thresholds cannot be edited, but can be viewed on the Server Type tab of the Diameter Common, and then Dashboard, and then Configuration, and then Metric Threshold Configuration Sets page.

Summary Metric Threshold Configuration Sets can apply at Dashboard Network Element or Dashboard Network scope. These thresholds can be configured and viewed on the Summary Type tab of the Diameter Common, and then Dashboard, and then Configuration, and then Metric Threshold Configuration Sets page.

Metric thresholds allow for visualization enhancements on the Dashboard. Visualization enhancements such as coloring are used on the Dashboard to attract attention to a potential problem. When a visual enhancement on the Dashboard is enabled when a user-defined threshold is exceeded, potential problems can be investigated by the inspection of additional information.

Metric thresholds are only used for Dashboard visualization enhancements and are not associated with alarms. Most (but not necessarily all) metrics have thresholds. Whether a Metric can be assigned thresholds is determined from configuration, which cannot be modified.
