Changing parameter thresholds

You can use PATROL Configuration Manager to change the thresholds of KM parameters. BMC PATROL for Converged Infrastructure Monitoring ships with the parameters set at thresholds that are effective for those parameters in the average environment. You might need to change these thresholds. If so, make changes to the thresholds in one account and then test the results in that account before exporting those changes throughout your environment.
