Figure 151. Threshold settings
When you are at the Monitors window you will see the monitors listed in box to the
left and the input boxes for the threshold settings to the right. Help for a setting is
displayed in the area at the bottom. Click a monitor in the box then enter a value
into the Critical threshold or Warning threshold field.
Note: When setting Critical and Warning thresholds for the monitors, some
monitor thresholds are expressed as a percentage, and some have an alternative
setting, such as Megabytes free or packets/sec. When an alternative setting is
available, the box labeled “Show thresholds as percent of maximum value” will be
available. Decide which units are most appropriate for your threshold settings,
and select or clear the box as appropriate.
To return other monitors to their default settings click the Return to defaults
button. Only your currently selected monitor will be reset to its default threshold
settings, the other monitors will be unaffected. Repeat for each monitor that you
want to return to its default settings.
8.7.4 Forecast
The forecast function is available by clicking the button while viewing the
Capacity Manager report. The function allows you to see Capacity Manager's
prediction of the future performance of your selected systems.
To create its forecast, Capacity Manager uses a linear regression based on a
least squares fit with a confidence interval of 95%. For the forecast to be valid,
Capacity Manager needs a minimum of 21 days of previously collected data
where the system monitors have been running at least 50% of the time.
