You can set an upper bound and a lower bound, called thresholds, for metric values that are displayed in a chart. Thresholds help call attention to metric values that fall outside a particular range. The regions of the chart outside these thresholds have a customizable highlight color against which metric values exceeding the thresholds are displayed.
To set upper and lower threshold values for a chart:
The Chart Properties dialog box is displayed.
After you finish
