Obtaining automatic suggestions for thresholds

  1. On the third screen (Step 3) of the SLO wizard during SLO configuration, click SLO Guidance.
    Select the Suggest Thresholds for SLOs option, and then click OK.

    A list of suggested thresholds is displayed for the relevant monitor instances and attributes. Threshold values are recommended based on raw data points collected for each monitor instance (by default, from the last eight days).

  2. Select the thresholds that you want to apply to your SLO, and then click Apply.

    The thresholds that you chose to apply are highlighted in green. If a threshold was not suggested, the value is highlighted in red. If the suggested value is inaccurate due to NO_RESPONSE data points, the value is highlighted in yellow.

    Note

    • Threshold values cannot be suggested for instances without any past data points.
    • Suggested threshold values may not be accurate if data points are repeated. 
    • Since data points of the Availability attribute are either 0 or 100%, the recommended SLO value for the attribute is always 100%. 
    • Changes in SLO compliance or threshold do not affect previously calculated values, but only new calculations. The new values are displayed throughout the product even though the calculations are based on older values. 
    • Infrastructure Management considers NO_DATA and NO_RESPONSE data points when calculating the SLO compliance. 
    • By default, the pronet.businessview.skipND property is set to true and SLO ignores NO_DATA points. If you set pronet.businessview.skipND to false, SLO treats NO_DATA points as violations.
