Configuring threshold settings

In the Threshold Configuration tab, you can configure unique thresholds for selected attributes. These thresholds are implemented when the policy that contains the monitor solution is activated.

You can also configure and implement thresholds in the BMC ProactiveNet Operations Console, as described in Changing-thresholds.

For complete details about the different kinds of thresholds, see the BMC ProactiveNet User Guide in PDFs.
