Modify Alert Thresholds

Whenever possible, Microsoft Search KM for PATROL automatically sets thresholds for parameters. These thresholds are retrieved from the information available from the agents and they are generally accurate.

Generally, there is no need to modify these thresholds but in case Microsoft Search KM for PATROL cannot obtain them, or if you prefer a more fault-tolerant monitoring, you can modify the thresholds of each parameter through the command menu.

1.	Right-click on the monitored element > KM Commands > Modify Alert Thresholds.

2.	The first panel displays the list of parameters for the selected object. Select the parameter whose thresholds you wish to modify and click Next to continue.

If you select the Automatic thresholds mechanism option (see Managing the Threshold Mechanism), your customized thresholds are stored in the PATROL Agent configuration and then can be modified. If the threshold mechanism is set tuning, the threshold will be set under the /___tuning___ tree, while if the threshold mechanism is set tuning Event Management, the thresholds will be set under the /AS tree.
