Create metric thresholds to establish when a metric notification will be triggered. You can create thresholds based on Metric Cumulative Criterion and Metric Current Criterion.

• In a Cumulative threshold, you compare one historical value to another (or to a fixed value). Historical values are updated hourly by the Persist Metrics recurring process and all cumulative thresholds are checked.
• In a Current threshold, you compare current values to a historical or fixed value. They hold the current hour's average, maximum, and count along with any new value to accumulate into statistics. When a current threshold compares to a historical value, it uses the historical calculations last calculated by Persist Metrics.
