Threshold Alerting (7.3 GA P4)

7.3 GA P4 introduces the ability to monitor WAN link usage and trigger an alert if a user-defined usage threshold is exceeded. Threshold Alerting can provide insight into situations wherein the failure of one WAN link in a Conduit would result in the remaining WAN link(s) being oversubscribed, allowing customers to resolve potential issues before they arise.

Threshold Alerting is configured using the Advanced view of the Configuration Editor, and is disabled by default. To enable Threshold Alerting at a site, go to Sites > [Site] > Basic Settings and enter a non-zero value for at least one threshold:

When a threshold is configured and the combined WAN link usage for the site exceeds the configured value, an event will be generated.

Note:

When the combined WAN link usage exceeds the Lower Threshold value, an event with a severity of “Notice” will be generated. When the combined WAN link usage exceeds the Higher Threshold value, an event with a severity of “Warning” will be generated.

By default, all WAN links at a site are used for threshold calculations. To exclude a WAN link from threshold calculations, go to Sites > [Site] > WAN Links > [WAN Link] > Settings > Advanced Settings in the Advanced view of the Configuration Editor and uncheck the “Enable WAN Link Threshold” box:
