derived as a percentage of 100%, and is displayed as the threshold summary value. Based on
the threshold summary value, the performance object is associated with one of the following states:
•
Normal
•
Minor
•
Major
Each state is identified by a color code, as shown in the following illustration:
If you set a duration of 1 hour to view the threshold summary of performance object X, the illustration
shows that during the last hour:
•
Performance object X has been within the minor threshold level for 50% of the time.
•
Performance object X has been at or above the minor threshold level for 30% of the time.
•
Performance object X has been at or above the major threshold level for 20% of the time.
The percentage of time shown need not be continuous. For example, 50% of 1 hour may be derived
as follows – first 10 minutes and last 20 minutes of 60 minutes, the object performance was below
minor. So, total 30 minutes of 1 hour equals to 50%.
Threshold events belong to the Threshold Alarm category and can be Informational, Warning, or
Critical. The following example illustrates mapping between the event severity levels and threshold
status icons for a performance object.
The following table describes the threshold levels at which notifications can be generated:
Notify starting at major threshold level Notify starting at minor threshold level Threshold levels
Yes No Major
Yes Yes Minor
No No None
