  • The abnormal profile ID, used for abnormal thresholds only. For all other threshold types, set this to 0.
    Example: 0
  • The critical threshold comparison operator. Allowed values are:
    • ==
    • !=
    • >
    • >=
    • <
    • <=
    Example: ==
  • The critical severity, used in the warning event. Allowed Values are:
    • 0: Normal
    • 1: Info
    • 2: Unknown
    • 3: Minor
    • 4: Major
    • 5: Critical
    Example: 5
  • The critical value to test for.
    Example: 0
  • Used when Type is set to Trend Prediction. The relative time, starting now, to use when predicting when the metric value will breach the threshold. For example, set it to 6M to notify when the threshold is expected to be breached within six months.
    The format is a combination of a numerical value and one of the following duration values:
    • m: Minutes
    • h: Hours
    • d: Days
    • w: Weeks
    • M: Months
    • Y: Years
    Example: 6M
  • Used when Type is set to Standard and CheckLocation is set to Threshold Engine. How often the threshold is checked.
    Use the following guidelines:
    • Because thresholds can only be checked as frequently as the Standard Thresholding Engine polls, you must set this to a value greater than or equal to the PollTime of the Standard Thresholding Engine (the default is one minute).
    • Because metric values are only updated when the metric is polled, you must set this to a value greater than or equal to the PollTime of the metric the threshold is for (the default is five minutes).
    The format is combination of a numerical value and one of the following duration values:
    • m: Minutes
    • h: Hours
    • d: Days
    • w: Weeks
    • M: Months
    • Y: Years
    Example: 5m
  • The string representing the metric stored in the Metric database.
    Example: metrictype_Latency
  • The message for the threshold event. Usually appears in an event's Summary field in the event list.
    Example: Performance threshold violation: Device Down
  • The data type that the threshold checks. Allowed values are:
    • availability
    • utilization
    • value
    Example: availability
  • Used when Type is set to Standard and CheckLocation is set to Threshold Engine. The offset to apply to the time range. For example, set to 5m to go back five minutes when checking the threshold to ensure most recent poll data is considered. Set to 0m for no offset.
    This must be a combination of a numerical value and one of the following duration values:
    • m: Minutes
    • h: Hours
    • d: Days
    • w: Weeks
    • M: Months
    • Y: Years
    Example: 0m
  • The metric threshold status ID. Either 0 (disabled) or 1 (enabled).
    Example: 1
  • The threshold function ID.
    Example: 1
  • The threshold name.
    To avoid confusion with numeric IDs, the name value cannot be integers only or integers prefixed with the + or - symbols only. It must contain letters or other characters. For example, 1234, +1234, and -1234 are not valid, but US1234, US+1234 and US_1234 are.
    Example: Device Down
  • The ID of the threshold type. Allowed values are:
    • 1: Availability - Standard
    • 2: Performance Utilization - Standard
    • 3: Performance Value - Standard
    • 10: Trend % Daily - Advanced
    • 14: Abnormal Daily - Advanced
    • 16: Missing Data - Advanced
    • 20: Trend Prediction Availability - Advanced
    • 21: Trend Prediction Performance Utilization - Advanced
    • 22: Trend Prediction Performance Value - Advanced
    Example: 1
  • Unless Type is set to Abnormal, the period of time in which data points are retrieved and evaluated.
    The format is a combination of a numerical value and one of the following duration values:
    • m: Minutes
    • h: Hours
    • d: Days
    • w: Weeks
    • M: Months
    • Y: Years
    Example: 15m
  • The warning threshold comparison operator. Allowed values are:
    • ==
    • !=
    • >
    • >=
    • <
    • <=
    Example: !=
  • The warning severity, used in the warning event. Allowed Values are:
    • 0: Normal
    • 1: Info
    • 2: Unknown
    • 3: Minor
    • 4: Major
    • 5: Critical
    Example: 3
  • The warning value to test for.
    Example: 0
