In the Threshold Configuration tab you can configure thresholds for one or more attributes. These thresholds are implemented when the policy containing the monitor solution is activated.
 This tab is optional, and these thresholds can also be configured and implemented from the ProactiveNet Operations console. See Changing-thresholds.
