You can add a threshold configuration
and gets alerts for the configured threshold.
To configure the analytics-associated thresholds and
alerts:
- On the Home page, in the left navigation pane, click.TheThreshold - Add configurationpage opens.
- In theNametext box, enter a unique name for the configuration.
- From theScopedrop-down menu, select the entities that are to be considered for analysis. For example the entities can be VMs, Flows, etc.
- To identify a subset of entities that are to be considered for analysis, enter one or more criteria in theSelect criteriatext box.
- In theConditionsection, set a condition to create an alert.Based on the condition you set, the system decides if the threshold is violated.
- In theaggregared overtext box, select the grouping of the entity. You can set a threshold on a cumulative metric by aggregating the data over a group of entities.

- Configure a static or a dynamic threshold.
- To configure a static threshold, select either of the following threshold conditions from the list:
- exceeds threshold
- drops below
- is outside range
- To configure the dynamic threshold, selectdeviates from the past behavior. Select the sensitivity based on your requirement of reporting.
- Enter the upper bound and lower bound range.When you enter theUpper Boundor theLower Boundrange, ensure that you enter the value based on the unit of measure for the selected condition. The following conversion values are for your reference:
- 1 Kbps= 1000 bps
- 1 Mbps= 1000 kbps
- 1 Gbps = 1000 mbps
- 1 KB=1024 B
- 1 MB=1024 KB
- 1 GB = 1024 MB
When you set the threshold, you can view the associated graph at the top of the page. The pink bar denotes the VMs or the flows violating the threshold. You can view the list of the entities that have violated the threshold and the entities that are within the threshold in the system. - From theMinimum Violation Durationdrop-down menu, select a time duration after whichVMware Aria Operations for Networksshould trigger alerts if the violation lasts longer than the selected time duration.For example, If you setMinimum Violation Durationas 15 minutes, you get alerts only if the violations stays active over 15 minutes.
- Configure the severity of the alert.
- In theNotificationsection, configure when and who can receive notifications.SelectSend SNMP Traponly if you have configured SNMP traps on your system.
