Setting thresholds

Whenever relevant, BMC Performance Manager Express for EMC Disk Arrays automatically sets thresholds for parameters. If you prefer a more fault-tolerant monitoring, you can modify the thresholds of each parameter through the Configure tab > Edit Thresholds.

It is  strongly recommended to wait for all the storage objects to be discovered before setting threshold values to avoid having to enter thresholds for each occurrence of the application class.

To modify the parameter thresholds of several storage objects of an element:

1.In the Configure tab, click on the Storage (<platform>) or the instance icon  > Edit

Thresholds, Properties and Credentials

Any modification to the thresholds or any other properties of elements created using the "Element Profile" mode is to be done using the Element Profile route or by clicking "Override Profile"

2.Uncheck the Warning and Alarm boxes for all the parameters for which you want to disable the alert conditions

Disabling the default alert thresholds

3.Check the Warning and Alarm boxes for all the parameters for which you want to enable the alert conditions. You will then have to manually enter the threshold values and check the Active box. In the example below, a Warning will be triggered if Status is greater than 1, an alarm will be triggered when greater than 2

Modifying threshold values

4.Click Save

5.The Success, changes have been saved message indicates that the modifications have been registered.

Alerts are displayed by the parameter whose thresholds are modified.
